By Team HardwareZone - 20 Mar 2015

Microsoft, Mipow & MSI

Microsoft

Microsoft has two Xbox One bundles (the other has Assassin's Creed IV and Unity), but the Halo: Master Chief Collection bundle is the better deal. The MCC has all the main Halo games, the Ridley Scott directed Halo: Nightfall short and comes with a Xbox One with Kinect, plus an extra controller and a $100 Capitaland voucher if bought at the IT Show. It retails for $739.

The Surface Pro 3 is truly a tablet that can replace your notebook and prices of it begin at $1,013 for the entry-level model with an Core i3 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of SSD storage. Buyers can trade in their old devices and get $50 off, or get $100 off when they purchase a Surface Pro 3 and Type cover together. Every purchase also comes with free Sennheiser EC300 II headphones.

 

Mipow

The Mipow is a compact power bank that houses a large-capacity 8000mAh Li-polymer battery, ensuring you'll never have to worry about running out of power while you're on the move. The power bank also comes with a 2.1A output for faster charging of your mobile devices, and has a built-in micro-USB cable that plugs directly into your micro-USB devices and an additional USB port to charge a second device. This large power bank is an absolute steal at $49 at the Epicentre booth, considering it used to retail at $119.

 

MSI

 The Apache is a decent entry level gaming laptop if the other entries isn't to your liking. It is a 15.6 inch notebook  with a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) IPS display and has a i7-4720HQ (2.6GHz, 6MB) processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX860M (2GB), 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, a SteelSeries keyboard and Killer connectivity. It's going for $1,699 (U.P. $1,849)

We've already reviewed the Titan SLI so you know we like the behemoth. We just wished it wasn't so pricey. MSI heard our wish and the IT show features the single card version of the GT80. It has a 18.4 inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) IPS display, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD (7,200rpm) as well as the SteelSeries mechanical keyboard and Killer Wireless for connectivity. It's going for $4,499 (U.P. $4,699).
