Off to Hong Kong next week for a few days and was wondering what sort of things are significantly cheaper over there to warrant a purchase? Specifically, I need a laptop and MP3 player. Anyone know the place well? Where are the best areas to go for electronics shopping? Anyone know some decent websites where I can browse prizes, etc?
What to pick up in Hong Kong?

Nathan Road in Kowloon is probably the best place to grab a bargain. Be careful when accepting the first price because you'll find that prices for things like iPods, cameras, etc. differ from store to store.
Also, they will more often than not try to get you to buy a bundle package. Be firm when you say no.
I managed to get an iPod there for about £40 cheaper than in the UK but I did have to do a lot of searching. It's good fun though

Go to that famous shop that does the made to measure suits in 24 hrs. Not electrical, but a must in HK

Wife?
White PlayStation 3 from Nathan Road, prices are really cheap.
Suits are still cheaper than the UK but Thailand is now king for getting tailored suits.
Forgot to mention but if you're after a phone or camera I'd recommend the top floor in LCX (its near the star ferry terminal) loads of bigger versions of the shops on Nathan road.

Have you been to HK? apart from point 2 I didnt find any of the others to be the case, or maybe I was in the wrong area
I'd say point 3 stands, if you walk down any of the non main roads there are signs everywhere for whore houses.

Yes, I've been several times. I was trying to be funny but should probably wait until I'm sober before doing so

Similar name, if not.

anything electrical you want would be a good choice, i picked up a camera and an ipod for roughly 1/3 cheaper than in the UK.
also picked up a watch for around the same saving and clothes can also be a lot cheaper too.
