If I buy it here, I might regret that the model in HK are both cheaper and more stylish. The Best Buy ones are pretty cheap, and I can use it on the plane right away (but with no internet, and no power outlet, I wonder how handy it is to use on the plane..)
If I buy it in HK, I'm afraid I'll be tax'ed when I bring it back to Van. And I kindda don't know where to buy... what's NCIX equivalent in HK?
I'm not expert. But for the entry level laptop...battery only lasts 2.5-3 hours w/o power supply...I don't think it's very useful on the flight...
In HK, most of the big electronic stores (Broadway, "fong jark" etc) has lots of selection. But of course you can visit those "computer city" ...

well, for Asus, it comes w/ 2 yrs of international warranty-- so it doesn't really matter where u bought it...
I will first do a research online to determine the exact brand & model I want. If that is only available in HK, then basically there is no choice. However, if the model I want is available at both places, then it is just a matter of comparing price and warranty issues.

where to compare price though?
HK has too many small computer shops, and I really hate the feeling of finding out I paid a few hundreds too expensive than the store on the next block, etc.. ~_~
If I ever need to buy a notebook from Asia. I will only buy Japanese models because of the size. Panasonic and NEC would be something I can consider. The Panasonic offers a lot more models in their "Let's Note" series (Toughbook) than here.
Other than that, laptops in here are quite cheap compare to HK.

I guess you may try going to some HK computer forums and ask people there if they know the approximate street price. Once you have that you can then compare to the price here. If you decided to buy in HK then I guess you just need to walk around in MK and shop around for price then decide from there.
