I have two things to check for the Pikom PC Fair 2008. The 8GB flashdrive and the Mitsubishi DVD+ discs. I could not find the DVD+ discs unfortunately. There are other brands available like Imation, TDK and HP. Hence, I settled with buying the flashdrive. There are 7 brands which are more commonly available - Apacer, Corsair, Imation, Kingston, Pendrive, Sandisk and Toshiba and their prices are about the same.

I am asked to purchase a few others apart for 1 myself. I decided to choose Apacer myself. The two types of 8GB flashdrive offering from Apacer are AH221 and AH225. RM92 for the AH221 (black-gold) model and RM93 for the AH225 (white-blue) model.

The black-gold version may look cooler but the assembly of the cap is a totally stupid design. It is not very secure and totally dumb because you basically insert that round ring through this small slot at the back of the flashdrive. I wonder who is the designer. The white-blue one has a very ugly huge round cap but it is more practical. When I asked why it costs more, they said it has a magnetic cap which makes it more securely fasten. OK....very nice.....I tried it and it don't think it is actually making much of a difference.

All I have to say is I am surprised by the speed of the price drop in the market. I can't imagine buying the 8GB flashdrive for anything below RM100. When will the 16GB versions be available?
For the other locations and dates of the fair throughout the country, this is the schedule:
