| Palm & NEC Versa
Notebook at Fortress |

Since the issue of
M100-105 and M500-505 model, Palm Vx
has been almost out of stock in the market. The price has been lowered
significantly. Fortress,
the biggest AV chain store, has bought almost all the remaining stocks
at wholesale price and sold it in their retail outlets at HKD1,670
while stock last. This price should be the last price before
running out of stocks in Hong Kong. So do not try to find any of them
with a cheaper price out in the market. Go and buy one from Fortress if
you have been dreamed of getting one palm and have not been satisfied
with its' high price. Please be cautious of other small shops offering
you the same or even lower than this price. You might be buying the one
manufactured in other Asian countries and they may have slightly lower
quality. But the one in Fortress is definitely the original one from the
U.S.A.
Now both Fortress
and another famous chain store Broadway both can offer the cheapest M505
in town at HKD2,580.It
includes 16MB extra RAM so you will have 24MB. Fortress just lowered the
price for M500 to HKD1,990 Prices keep coming down.
Fortress also offer
one of the cheapest NEC notebooks in town. The Versa Premium - Celeron/XP
model has processor of Intel Celeron Processor 1GHz, should be able to
play games at high speed. It has the standard 128MB RAM upgradeable to
256RAM. It also includes 14xCD-ROM and Internal 1.44MB Floppy Disc Drive
as well as 14.1 TFT XGA Monitor. Other features are standard. If you do
not mind the 10GB hard disk, you should go and have a look. It costs only
HKD7,990 Other more advance models
only cost from HKD10,990 to 13,990
