ITSHOW 09

IT show 09 will be held tomorrow 12/3/09 until Sunday 15/3/09. It will be as usual a platform for companies to showoff their products and try to get as much recognition as they could. Of cause they are off to sell their products but the publicity is far-more important then 3 days of sales.

I might be going there myself to see what IT companies now have to offer and hopefully find some good bargains on the way.

Tips

• Application software(Not games) are usually on low prices so for those who wants to get you hands on them get them at these shows. Anti-malware programs, backup programs etc
  
• Some tech gadgets might be over priced especially those newer products so you might want to think twice before buying them on impulse.
  
• Laptops/Desktops are usually packed with alot of freebies to go with, however despite the awesome sales and promotions be careful on what you spend on and check on the technical details before you buy one.
  Example : $999 for a desktop with free printer and monitor might have a substandard motherboard which will at most last your computer for a year before it gets obsolete and you find it hard to upgrade as the motherboard doesn't support them(Bad investment because of buying on impulse) and also the printer itself might be cheap but the ink cartridges will definitely be expensive.
  
• Do your research before going down to the show. Things are not always cheap there, you might find yourself buying items which you do not need or are substandard in quailty.
  

Conclusion
ITShow is merely a platform for companies to increase their publicity image for their products and popularity in the Market, It is definitely not the place where things are sold lower then in any other shops so do your research before going down to increase your chance in getting the right deal.
