The U in Hong Kong: Small Shops in Kowloon
January 9th, 2005Last night I arrived in Hong Kong. I plan to visit the Sony Style store later, but this morning I just explored a number of small electronics shops near my hotel in Kowloon. Several of them, including the one pictured above, sell the Sony Vaio U50.
These shops often display a series of notebooks in descending order of size, with the U coming last, as shown.
Most stores put the U50 with the notebook computers, but as shown below at least one store shelved it with the PDAs (none of these stores had an abundance of space).
I inquired about the price at two shops; both quoted HKD 13,500 as the starting point for negotiations.
