Without further ado, here are the latest gadgets and deals that caught our eye at the show floor.

 

AC Ryan

The Veolo 4K comes with a 1.8GHz quad-core Cortex-A17 ARM processor, Mali T-764 3D GPU, 2GB DDR3 RAM, and 16GB of flash storage. To watch your 4K files, the player is equipped with H.265 hardware decoding capabilities and HDMI 2.0 video output. The Veolo 4K runs Android 4.4 KitKat OS, and sports built-in gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wireless-N and Bluetooth 4.0. Grab it at $199 (usual price $299).

 

Acer

The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is one of the most affordable hybrid systems at the show. It's powered by an Intel Atom Z3735F processor (1.33GHz) and also has 2GB of RAM, 32GB eMMC, and 500GB HDD storage. It is going for just $499 (U.P: $799).

 

Aftershock

We previously had a look at Aftershock's S-15 notebook, but back then it only had the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M. The one at Sitex contains an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M, which makes it an even more enticing deal. Sitex also marks the first time the Hypergate and the Tremor are on sale. We've previously talked about both, but given a choice, the Hypergate is a better deal.

The Aftershock S-15 has an Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M (4GB DDR5), 1TB HDD with 128GB SSD, Windows 8.1, 15 inch display (Matte AHVA, 1,920 x 1,080 pixels). We previously had hands-on with the S-15 when it was using NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 970M and found out that it was a great gaming PC. Now that it’s fitted with NVIDIA’s GeForce  GTX 980M, it’s even better. It’s going for $2,707 at Sitex, down from its usual price of $2,942.

The Aftershock Hypergate is one of Aftershock’s first desktop designs. It features an Intel i5-4590 processor, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB DDR5), 1TB HDD (7200 rpm) with 120GB SSD and Windows 8.1 (64-bit). Like all of Aftershock’s designs, it is customizable and is going for $1,753 for the basic model.

 

Alcatel

Alcatel Onetouch, one of Europe's leading mobile phone manufacturers has come to Singapore, and is using Sitex to debut a few phones.

The Alcatel Pop D3 looks and feels a lot like an early iPhone. This 4-inch smartphone runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and is powered by a dual-core 1.3GHz processor. It can be yours for just $95, exclusively at the SingTel booth. Or get two for $95 with the purchase of a SingTel pre-paid sim or top-up card (limited to 1st 10 customers).

The Alcatel Pop S9 is one of the most affordable 4G LTE phablets on the market. The S9 has a 5.9-inch HD display and is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz processor. It is available at the M1 booth for just $338, and the first 20 customers will also receive a free Alcatel Gecko power bank.
