Hong Kong Sony Style Store
January 11th, 2005I finally visited the Hong Kong Sony Style store. It was actually a let down. My expectations were high; since arriving in Hong Kong I’d 1) discovered the Sony Vaio U50 on sale in many small electronics shops 2) found an attractive package deal on a U50 a in the local chain Fortress and 3) seen many adds about the U in the subway.
The Sony Style store does have a U on display, but it is simply the same package that’s available at Fortress. Moreover they have no accessories for sale. I wanted to buy a a screen overlay/protector and a carraying bag I’d seen on the website, but none of this is available, even at the Sony Style store!

Ads for the Sony Vaio U are plastered many places in the Hong Kong subway system right now. This one shows an “evolution”‘ in computer size, culminating in the diminutive U.
