The city's annual four-day computer fair opened its doors in Wan Chai yesterday with a feast of top-end gadgets and all the latest 3-D gear.
But for those unwilling to shell out HK$10,000 for a 3-D notebook at the Hong Kong Computer and Communications Festival, a second computer fair opened in Sham Shui Po on Wednesday, offering an alternative for bargain hunters.
Among the product debuts at the Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai was Lenovo's 21-inch 3-D notebook, which converts images and videos from 2-D to 3-D. Priced at HK$10,900, the notebook has yet to hit the stores.
Preorders were also being taken for a Toshiba netbook, which has dual touch monitors like a Nintendo DS, priced at HK$10,880.
And local brand Olevia, trying to steal some market share from the Japanese and Korean firms, released a 3-D television at HK$16,800.
'It's the first TV in town that is capable of sourcing 3-D materials from the internet,' Martin Wong, of Olevia distributor South China House of Technology, said, adding that 3-D products could only be found at the Wan Chai event.
