Acer

The newly launched Acer Iconia Talk S is a 7-inch Android tablet powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor. It's also one of the few tablets with dual-SIM 4G LTE connectivity, meaning you can use it to make phone calls. It usually retails for $499, but you can pick one up at the PC Show for just $299.

Looking for an affordable 8-inch tablet running full Windows 8.1 OS? Look no further than the Acer Iconia Tab 8 W. Powered by an Intel Atom Z3735G quad-core processor, the Tab 8 W also comes with Microsoft Office 365 Personal pre-loaded. Pick one up at the PC Show for $249 (usual price: $499).

 Acer might not seem like a gaming company, but their VN-791G 17-inch notebook is actually a pretty decent budget gaming machine that’s under $2,000. The notebook comes with an Intel Core i7-4720 (2.6GHz, 6MB cache), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M (4GB VRAM), 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD storage, a Blu-Ray writer and a 17.3-inch LCD display. It’s going for $1,798 (U.P. $2,198).

The Acer Aspire Switch 11 is an 11.6-inch hybrid device that can be used as a regular laptop or tablet. The 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS display can even be detached from the keyboard and attached in reverse for a more seamless viewing experience. It is equipped with a 1.6GHz Intel Core i5-4202Y processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 60GB SSD and 500GB HDD. It is selling at the PC Show for just $1,298, down from a usual price of $1,498. The cheaper model with an Intel Core i3-4012Y processor costs $799 (U.P: $999).

The Acer Aspire E14 comes with the latest fifth-generation Intel Core i5-5200U processor, 4GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD. It also packs a discrete graphics card in the form of an NVIDIA GeForce GT920M. It's a good 14-inch notebook for everyday computing and is available in both black and white at $799 (U.P.: $1,049). An additional $100 will net you either 8GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD, or a more powerful Intel Core i7-5500U processor (no discrete graphics).

The 23-inch Acer Aspire Z3 is an all-in-one (AIO) desktop system featuring a fourth-generation Intel Core i7-4785T processor, 8GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD. With a built-in webcam, speakers and a bundled wireless keyboard and mouse, this AIO system has everything you need right out of the box. It is retailing for $1,399 at the PC Show (U.P.:$1,599), with a free upgrade to 3 years of on-site warranty.

The 28-inch CB280HK is one of the more affordable 4K monitors out there. At the PC Show, it's going for $599, down from the usual $899.
