For the first time in Malaysia, consumers will have the opportunity to explore and experience the biggest and most extensive digital fair to be held by PIKOM when its PIKOM Digital Lifestyle Expo 2010 (DLE) opens this December at the KL Convention Centre here. The 3-day expo from December 10 till December 12 will showcase more than 50 global brands and 400 booths over approximately a total of 10,000 sq metres, making it the leading consumer electronics and mobile expo in the country.

This is the first time that the National ICT Association of Malaysia which is known nationwide for its hugely popular PIKOM PC Fair, is putting together consumer electronics and mobile communications and showcasing them all under one roof in the Digital Lifestyle Expo 2010. The expo will be divided into six segments -- the 3Cs Pavilion (that will feature consumer electronics, computers and communications); 3D/LED TVs and AV / Home Entertainment; DCIM (which stands for Digital Camera, Imaging and Media); ICT / Multimedia / Devices; Games; and lastly Mobile / Broadband / Wireless.

Among the over 50 global brands who will be participating in the DLE are:
- 3Cs Pavilions – Apple, Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba
- 3D/LED TVs and AV / Home Entertainment – LG, Philips, Onkyo, Samsung, DETV, EACAN, Edifier, Sonic Gear, Swedish Statement and Vivitek
- DCIM – Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Samsung
- ICT / Multimedia / Devices – ACER, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Toshiba and Western Digital
- Games – Ballun, CIB Net Station, DF Interactive, flying spaghetti monster, MOL and Razer
- Mobile / Broadband / Wireless – Blackberry, CSL, Huawei, Nokia, Celcom, Digi, Maxis, P1 Wimax and TM

Wasted my time. Much smaller than PC Fair, occupied only 1 floor.

Where is Canon (I was looking for their latest DSLR)? Where is Microsoft (I was hoping to buy a Kinect there)

From KLIM for DLE, seems like Malaysia is been ignored and marginalized by the whole world.

i didnt notice if canon have any booth around.. but microsoft do have.. around Hall 3

lol.. means it is a small expo ?

So, izzit possible i can get good price overthere ?
Coz planning to go later after 2pm but very far from Puchong to go there

yes just small expo but still ok lor,can't compare with pc fair... i bought wdtv live rm299 & my book essential 1Tb rm239.very good price.no charge for credit card... as usual got war between celcom,digi,p1 wimax,maxis... most booth give special price for their product..

you can refer to the booklet to find out more http://www.pikom.org.my/cms/DLE2010/Forms/...ual_DLE2010.pdf

microsoft booth is pathetic ..... only a few choices of hardware (mainly keyboard and mouse).

Which booth? Planning to go later also.

Pleasure to walk around. Less 'pasar malam' style, no more 'building rig parts' from this kind of fair, mainly on fast moving stock, gadget, TVs. Wider walkway, no more booming speaker, telco's are restrict to their territory, less aggressive.

Depends what is your expectation. Some TVs are cheap, no 3D though, various player on demo.

WD 1TB wat d current price?

my passport essestion = $369
my book essential = $239

No kinect?

Wait , they dint sell mobo , intel processor all don't have ? We need the hardwares

no . but I think Sony booth has PS3 ........

no. only PC and notebook from HP, Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Lenovo .......

Not even 1 booth ? I needto get processor , i5

I really don't think so ....... other forumers please confirm.

samsung lcd tv got promo price arrrr???...if cheaper than outside worth to have a look

Any home theater stufss?

Anyone know the price for D3100 there?

got myself a Hisense 32" lcd tv for rm899 ... waiting for its delivery now... cap ayam or not, this one comes with 3 year warranty and the price's kinda cool

Haha..i'm so tempting with the price, toshiba also sell 32" LCD TV for RM999. but looking for Hisense, i interested with the price offered for 32" RM 899 and 42" Full HD for RM1699. Really don't know what to choose, maybe come back today to purchase either one.

always go for the biggest

Go for the biggest screen you can afford. Frankly, i would stay away cap ayam brand like Hisense. Toshiba 40" LCD can be bought for 1.8K outside. Sharp LC500M RM1.9k (i just bought one). You can PM Kevinc66.

it doesn't makes sense to save RM100 to RM200 bucks to buy chaplang china brand. Between 40" and 42", there's really no difference.

Saw one booth demoing some dunnow what brand HD media player.....the image quality looks really good...coz the TV is a Sharp LED Quattron model with the 100Hz motion thingy!!! But i notice the movie stutter very frequently...i am pretty sure it's the player problem...and the sales guy tries to bullshit me with what makes good and bad player....

I think it's a very devious scheme....use top of the line TV to show the movie, fooling people it looks so good. Go back home and you'll lose all the image quality and left with stuttering HD movies...

Bewarre!

That's really budget TV. But I kinda disappointed with the quality of Toshiba or other not famous brand like Hisense.
Will advice go for Sony or Samsung. Currently using Sony 32bx300, HD Ready.
My bro said his 32 inch LCD LG FULL HD viewing angle and the sharpness not as good as my Sony.
But anyway, for a 32", FULL HD or HD Ready can't really see much difference.
For >32", then better get FULL HD.

the Hisense 32" is meant for bedroom only...got another Samsung 40" and Optoma HD 65 projector 80" for proper viewing pleasure...

the cool thing about Hisense is thatit gives full insurance coverage for 1 year...meaning that if u break your tv also, they'll cover...

rm899 + 3 year warranty is really a good psychological cheap price for a tv i guess...was tempted to get the 42" also but too big for a small room ler haha ...somemore this brand is sold in Courts too...guess it's not that bad...if it works for more than 3 years without problems...i think it'd worth the price

ppl say go branded coz good...but hey, my Samsung 40" was bought at rm3999 a couple of years back...it had only 1 year warranty only those days. Sadly immediately after the one year warranty ended, the TV won't turn on properly...had to get it repaired...and for this branded tv...it was quite disappointing ...so expensive some more those days...

so yeah..cap ayam..branded...some you win, some you lose

ps: but Hisense LED tvs look pretty impressive for the price i might add...if this 32" works ok...might get their LEDs next year...

it depends on the requirements now...size do matter sometime
