Malaysia, 21st November 2011 – Buying A PC and not Sure where to start? Overwhelmed by the wide range of models or stumped by technical specifications? Thunder Match Technology is partnering with Microsoft and leading personal computer vendors to offer consumers a complete PC-buying experience.

Step into Malaysia’s first Window Experience Zone (WEZ) at Low Yat Plaza, Level 4, which will transform the way consumers shop for PCs. The WEZ is a unique retail zone that brings the complete PC-buying experience to every consumer, and is part of Thunder Match Technology’s retail strategy to bring consumer satisfaction to a new level.

Consumers can explore a premium selection of PCs, gadgets and software categorised into WORK, PLAY or LEARN scenarios to help guide their experience and purchase decisions. THE WEZ will also host training workshops and other hands-on sessions.

To further help consumers find the perfect computer for their needs, the WEZ is helmed by a next-generation tech advisor called the Microsoft Captain.

The Captain is on hand to listen to the consumer’s needs, walk through the PC purchase process, and also show how to maximize the use of their PC with Windows 7, Windows Live Essentials, Office 2010 and other popular software.

To commemorate the launch of the WEZ, participating vendors Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Sony, Samsung and Toshiba will be offering great deals with their premium PC models to Thunder Match Technology members while stocks last.
