    Electronic devices : What is really cheaper in HK ?

    I tried to do some shopping in HK : laptops, cellphones...
    Ok, it's cheaper than in Europe, maybe 10% cheaper for most of the latest products. But as you get chinese version/keyboard and local guarantee, it is not obviously worth.
    What are the brands/devices that are really much cheaper that in Europe ?

    Disappointingly, very little. I've found that computer hardware (graphics cards etc) are quite cheap in HK, as are basic electronic components (LEDs, soldering irons...) and unbranded low value Chinese stuff (USB sticks, headphones, rip-off Wii peripherals). For branded consumer electronics, try the internet or Tokyo.

    I can't count the number of times my friends asked me to buy them electronics from Hong Kong thinking that it's gonna be so much cheaper here. Unless you are OK with Chinese brands, they are just as expensive here, save the tax.
