17th Hong Kong International Computer Expo – Computer 2001

Final Words

Computer 2001 in Hong Kong is by no means close to the size of Computex in Taipei or Comdex in Las Vegas, but that does not mean it cannot provide us with a valuable look at the current state of the computer industry.  In fact, it was quite an interesting experience and a good indication of what we will be seeing during Computex next week.

Instead of targeting the international market, Computer 2001 is geared more towards the local Hong Kong market, which is exactly why we saw so many slim PCs, LCD monitors, and laptops.  Nonetheless, we were able to spot quite a few new motherboards during the show as well. 

We were extremely honored to have the chance to be on the floor of the show and meet so many people from so many different companies.  As stated earlier, the most important aspect of the show was being able to see just how different Computer 2001 is from the other computer shows we have covered.
