Please do not and try to buy things from HK. i went there around 1 year ago and the prices are CRAP! (sorry for bad language but couldn't be expressed another way) Last time i went there to buy a phat psp was equivalent to $310 AUD. I don't know if it has changed though in my opinion, that place is a rip off, unless you buy the cheap stuff
My recomendation would be Signapore.

At Signapore, there is a big market that doesn't allow fake stuff to be sold or you will get kicked out and fined. I found some Nike SB's for around $50 AUD!!! and that was when i bought my slim psp.

Depends how much you wan2 spend...for both of them...Sure you could prob spend $200 and get a laptop, or you could spend $20000 and get a freakish laptop (though 20k is prob a bit excessive)

it really depends where you go in hong kong, of course it will be expensive in some places and cheap in others, i suggest you just ask some local people. if you can find someone who can speak english

depends where you go in Hong Kong, if you're buying something from department stores then it would be more expensive, but if you buy them from specialised game console places you can get it much cheaper

No, this is the suburban HK. Don't go to Beijing as i think is the highest prices in China. Don't go to the popular places where they expect tourist to go and buy things because thats when they want you to pay more. Look for a shop that is kind of small and not near the tourist places. And if you don't speak fluent Chinese, they will straight away think you are a tourist and they will rip you of. luckily my mums side mandarin.
