The price of shopping in Hong Kong can be compared to Singapore, a South-East Asian country. Electronics should be cheaper there as compared to prices in western countries. However, don't expect to find ridiculous bargains as prices are still competitive.

(Shopping for gadgets in Hong Kong)
Hong Kong is the gadget capital of Asia and the perfect place to pick up a gizmo or two. Literally thousands of shops fill the demand for cutting-edge technology, electronics and home appliances. The latest products are often on sale here before they are available in other countries and there is always something to impress even the most technologically savvy shopper. Prices are extremely competitive and the extent of electrical, audio and visual products is mind-blowing. As things get smaller and faster, it is often amazing to find equipment that was considered beyond one's imagination only a short while ago.
