Hong Kong - market

Another interesting thing in Hong Kong? :) Some cheep electro and clothes ...
I have discovered very nice store not far from famous Monk Kok market, where I suddenley decided to buy a new laptop. Look at it - isn't it nice? Yeah, it is:). Design is very similar to Macbook Air, but this brand is called Roden TM... after deeper check we can mention, this one has several advantages which made it even better than Mac from practical point of view. Let's make a simple comparison between MacAir and Roden.

Basic comparison of products (average user):
 - MacAir has not any video signal output; Roden has HDMI (tested soon)
 - MacAir has only 1 USB (usually I need 2, better 3); Roden has 2
 - quality of display; almost the same; display used on Roden is very bright and clear
 - MacAir has better battery (up to 5 hours - reality?); Roden 1,75 hour (movie); above 2 hours "normal" work (word, web, wireless OFF)
 - MacAir is from aluminum; Roden is from plastic :)
 - HDD: MacAir has either 120GB SATA disk or 128GB SSD (but than the price is higher); Roden has 160GB SATA (5400 rot/s) - Toshiba or WD




Up to now experience? No problem. Fast for normal work, nice keyboard, camera and mic as well...
The red disk is showed only because of comparison of width. That notebook is really slim.


Finally, here are photos of original Apple store pricelist from Hong Kong


Prices are listed in HK$ (clearly).

Also, in market you can find fake iPhone, called Tv Phone (it can receive digital TV). Adventage of these devices is ports for two SIM (double SIM). Price of these models was around1000 HK$, what is pretty much, because quality is low and the display is not sensitive enough. But looks good, and also could be bought with very nice cover with embedded keyboard.


I have also tried so called iphon mini, several times in different stores (5x) - but even not a single one worked as needed for normal usage. Pity.
