Sorry i cant really know where should i post this topic..

Pikom PC Fair last organized at KLCC Convention Centre since March 2016 and until now no news already..

Anyone knows what actually happen to Pikom? hahaha

lolz....any other PC fair event recently?

Mid valley?

U mean pendrive and credit card fair?

nope...
PC stands for Personal Computers

for some weird reason i kinda liked pc fair, even though i have no intention to buy anything. i just like to look at parts. its like poormans version of computex minus fancy stuff.

meh.. nowadays PC fair is not like true PC fair anymore..most peddling unrelated stuffs..

used to buy RM99 printer on that day

pc fair price no different

Last time when PC fair got those games booth, it was fun but not for recent years.

everything going expensive.. no feel anymore to upgrade pc.. but kangkong still cheap..

me too, i love to walk around to see those PC parts and display..
the only thing annouying me is the CREDIT CARD PROMOTER...

Low Yat Plaza is 365 days PC fair. Who needs another?

I like PC fair for the cosplay girls only.

Before PC Fair, it was Microfair, then Microfest and now dunno what already.

becaz PC fair become Mobile phone promotion fair + Credit Card Fair...

somemore "promotion price" still expensive than Law Yat...

That the reason why less ppl got interest to visit the fair

one of the main reason to attend

the price is higher than low yat and hard to claim warranty , and amoi cosplay wear ugly cloth .

seems like pc fair is fair game already

#badumtissssss

Bought my first pc in pc fair...way back in 1995. That time it was in PWTC.
on a side note, ext drives and pendrives are very cheap during the pc fair. Last year in mid valley happen go during a pc fair and it was the last day. WD ext drive was going for RM180 for 1TB

rather go lowyat enuf. lowyat galz wear nice yo

Because PC item now is too expensive + gst somemore

Then got online store and PC builder shop + Plaza Lowyat

No more exhibition of PC & technology anymore

+1
dont forget power bank fair.

few weeks before pc fair, prices in shop will always increase

then come pc fair, they give so called "promo price" but it's just normal price before the hike.

heard there is incoming Karnival IT on March...not sure what the fuss about it....

It'll be nice to have PC gaming fair... with 100 people playing PUBG at the same spot.

with online store prices getting more competitive and lowyat's reign.
i don't see any reason for ppl visiting a IT fair.

Last time i went to pc fair was around 2011/12, last time got razer booth and grab myself a razer lycosa which around the same price you can get at lowyat, other than that, all items offered are not interesting at all..

hahahaa, agreed . nows day IT Fair not like pass time.

i miss the old PC Fair..nowadays, it's more to gadget related stuffs

Me too, I used to enjoy going to PC Fair

PC fair years ago in KLCC used to be meriah and fill up lot of ball room.
they even showing off latest stuff there.
but few years ago one really cannot see...

back then when IT stuff was booming because alot of stuff was just starting to be introduce to market. external HDD for example.

nowadays those are the norm and their price is not so different than the normal day in normal store. also added to some issue like seller gone missing after the fair so its no longer getting any attraction from the masses.

It is a scam fair. Better buy online it is cheaper.

powerbanks and mobile fair too

I visit the fair each time they organize till year 2012, ever since that I stop it and only drop by if only i have a lot of free time

The fair before that are full of
> Latest technologies
> Tech talks
> New products launch \ road shows
> Booth girls, the best thing and the most exciting moment we waiting for
> Cheap lelong stuffs

After 2012, all are about
> Power bank
> Pen drive, External HDD, Memory cards
> Printers
> Laptop
> Credit Cards
> Mobile lines
> All of above no discount at all

I will totally agree if someone tells me that PIKOM "PC Fair" is a failure now

I went to the recent PC fair (it wasn't Pikom right?) in Midvalley, Illegear got a booth showcasing their laptops so you can feel it if you are interested in buying them online. Same goes to MSI, Asus, Dell and Acer but since you can easily find them around Klang Valley so not that significant.

Then the Asus and Seagate booth which give pretty good discounts for stuff like routers, and external hard disk which is competitive to online pricing.

Don't see much printers and powerbank around now, but the usual telco, credit card, insurance booths are still there.

There's seem to be this new niche which quite a few stores are selling - Huge RGB mobile speakers. Seriously who uses that?

meh, its degrading year after year and getting smaller every year.
might as well just do something else

Bring back the good old pcfair@pwtc!

pikom fair used to be held regularly, until.. *cues sensitive issue regarding government and writing this, so that I wont get caught saying sensitive stuff that should not be mentioned here*

I miss PC fair around 2011, attn everytime even nothing to buy, after power bank, HD, card fair no longer attn

Sometime buy online more cheaper than PC Fair.
PC Fair need to pay booth / lodging staffs & need to carry stuff to sell.
In the past there were not many company make sales online

I remember the hay days... back in 1996-1999 PC Fair... it was like Malaysia's very own "E3"

It was so packed... you could barely move.

It was like night market but selling PC hardware.

Then... as the years went by, it started dying down.

The last one I went probably in 2011 and it was so deserted.

Flash forward, 2018, online purchases > going to ANY fairs.

Just go Plaza Imbi, Low Yat Plaza or Digital Mall if you live nearby KL, everyday also PC fair at these places.

pc fair ? or phone fair ?

Will the Star Microfair or Pikom PC Fair be organized this year ? In either PWTC or KLCC convention centre ? Its been a long time since I heard about these 2 IT gadget fairs.

i wonder what does these "PC Fairs" usually sell? cheapo laptops? usb? useless laptop cooler?

No more computer exhibition in KL?
There is still Audio Video exhibition every year in KL.
Nowadays I also stopped invest in new PC hardware / software,
instead I bought a turntable to play old vinyl collections.

Nowadays with lots of movies/drama series come from the iptv, (AppleTV, androidTV...etc)
people most likely would invest in Audio Video equipment like FullHD projector, AV receiver, speakers...etc.
