Guest yonisan Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi, i have about 36 hours in hong kong as of now. I would appreciate if someone can direct me to a shop that has the vega or one of its clones for sale. I could not find anything similar by myslef (other than the archos 101, which i dont want). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! You can try to find the Shuttle P10AN01, it is the same device as the advent vega or the POV mobii tegra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ParanoidSPV Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I would go for the Melata zPad... that is the same as the Vievsonic G Tablet but with 16GB internal storage and 1GB ram but still the tegra 2. And price should be around the same as the Vega/Mobii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yonisan Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks again. I really appreciate your input. I would, however, like to hear from some local to hong kong - to know where to go in order to purchase one. Until now, i have not seen any of the brands mentioned above.

Guest damuffinman Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks again. I really appreciate your input. I would, however, like to hear from some local to hong kong - to know where to go in order to purchase one. Until now, i have not seen any of the brands mentioned above. Try Shamshuipo's Golden Computer Centre (there's 2 of them, one next to each other), exit D2 on the Shamshuipo MTR. Last time I went there were loads of tablets being sold there. Look for something with similar specs to the Vega, usually they're all branded so they might not know the model number. Another alternative is Mongkok Computer Centre (Mongkok MTR exit E2). Less tablets there, more computer stuff IMO. I'm a HK student studying in the UK :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should add that you should always, ALWAYS bargain. Especially if you don't look Chinese. You can get much better prices that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yonisan Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thank you for the detailed information. I have actually been to these places today. All of them have the archos 101 or crappy old "ipad-like" copies in 7 to 10 inch resistive screens, slow processors or low on memory. One place had a viewsonic 10 box displayed but none in inventory... It is somewhat strange that these vega clones are not more common here I hope that an additional post will reveal more info, otherwise i will have to wait until my next uk or us visit, whenever that will be. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ParanoidSPV Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 It is when we know that the vega and the viewsonic gtablet are oem versions... The vega/pov mobii is the Shuttle P10AN01 in china and was just us that got it under the vega and mobii name. and the g-tab is the melata zpad in chine and was jusr branded gtab in the us... :D So if we see it like that we got the clones... lol...

Thanks again! Well, if you feel like you're up for an adventure, there's always Shenzhen. A place called Huaqiangbei 華強北 is the main place where all these OEM tablets are stocked, so you could check it out if you have a China visa. Alternatively, try Yahoo HK Auctions. Found loads of OEM tablets there, usually if you want to place an order just look up the seller's mobile phone, give them a ring to hold the stock and then go pick it up at the address. Most likely cash only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trevor432990 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Have you tried this search string in Google yet? tegra 2 tablet site:.hk it might throw up a few local suppliers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bear807 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 like damuffinman im a local as well :D probably abit too late i strongly recommend to go to huaqiangbei road! Man theres like the biggest treasure chest in Asia, if you are looking for mobile phones and computers etc I don't really recommend going to hong kong's shum shui po golden computer centre, or mong kok unless you are local, because the aftersales is better! As for a foreigner not much aftersales is needed therefore is much more sensible to go to huaqiangbei, since many of those item orignally comes from here, Top tips from the locals as in purchasing in huaqiangbei :) -Always check items you buying, make sure everything is alright before you leave, keep an eye on the product you purchasing make sure it wont get swop to another faulty or defect item -Always bargain never agree with inital price, if they refuse to sell you at that price move on to another one, they are all shops selling similar items, you will be suprise at the end how cheap it can be compare to the initall price. -Buying in bulks,remember the more you buy the more it can be cheaper. However warn you that if you buying in bulk make sure you check everything carefully or elese you will be regreting -Always head on to the higher floors of the centre to source for cheaper product, as for lower floor the rental price is more expensive, due to is accesibity hence price is much more, to my experience lower floor shops has close relationship to higher floors, all items you buy from lower floors comes from higher floor. So you know what to do :P -Do not carry excesive quantity product crossing the hong kong border, you might look suspicious and custom might held your items! get some postal service near huaqiangbei and post it back to your country, be sure to ask about import tax issues, you might able to escape it but i cannot give you details on it :huh: good luck!
