Philips 329P1RN workstation monitor

The 31.5-inch Philips 329P1RN monitor boasts "clutter-free" perks because it can output your laptop's display and charge them all at once via the single USB-C connection it offers (DP Alt Mode support, HDCP 2.2, USB PD 3.0 up to 90W, USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds at 10Gbps). For fallback, it even has additional DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0 for display input.

Its plug-and-play compatibility with both MacOS X and Windows 10 laptops makes it valuable in a flexible work environment, or if you're someone who dual-wields these operating systems for maximum productivity.

The monitor is sold at Challenger's booth (Booth 321) for S$629 (U.P $729). The brochure also stated that purchasing the 329P1RN includes "gifts A+C”, a NETS FlashPay Card (worth $20) and an unspecified Philips headset ($79).

Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 (42-inch gaming monitor for consoles)

From our demo experience, we felt the 42-inch Philips Evnia 42M2N8900 is highly suitable for console gaming. This is due to its generous display size, oddly specific refresh rate (which takes advantage of 4K60FPS or 4K120FPS console gaming), and low input lag overall.

As an OLED panel, it offers top-end specs like 4K UHD resolution, 138Hz refresh rate (overclocked), HDR10 support, 0.1ms grey-to-grey response time, on top of a variety of ports (HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C with 90W PD) and its signature aesthetic, Ambiglow RGB lights. The 8000 series, of which the 42M2N8900 is a part, also means the display is one of the top-end models from its Evnia gaming brand.

The monitor has an official retail price of S$2,699, and it's now on a steep discount of S$1,999 at the IT Show 2024, Booth 8121. The booth's brochure also stated that it's giving out free gifts like an OSIM uCozy Massager (worth S$169) together with an unspecified AOC Gaming Keyboard (S$99), among other freebies and purchase-with-purchase combos.

Ruhens Quint water purifier (Disney Edition)

Making a debut at IT Show 2024 is the limited Disney edition of the Ruhens Quint water purifier.

The Ruhens Quint offers five levels of temperature and quantity control (from 4°C to 87°C), a four-stage filtration system (Micro Carbon Filter, Nanofact Plus filter, Post Carbon Block filter, an optional Alkaline filter), and a self-sterilising nozzle that uses UV-C LED for water purification.

The Disney edition jazzes up the Quint with pastel blue (Mickey Mouse) or pastel red (Minnie Mouse) colourways.

Other features include an energy-saving ECO sensor that heats up or cools down water automatically when needed. The live audio guide also helps hint at the water purifier's operating status.

The limited edition Disney-themed Quint Water purifier will be offered on a debut discount at the Ruhens booth (Booth 8001) during the IT Show 2024, at just S$2,749 (U.P $3,349). It will also be available at Ruhens physical stores.

Sandisk GamePlay MicroSD Card (1TB)

Launched in January 2024, the GamePlay is a new variant of Sandisk's well-known MicroSD cards. It offers read speeds of up to 190MB/s and write speeds of up to 130MB/s, on top of cutting-edge A2 Performance Class support for short-burst, fragmented read/write needs.

The latter is what mobile phones and handheld gaming consoles use for running resource-hungry gaming apps off the memory card, which is also the inspiration for the card's name.

This new product is debuting at IT Show 2024 (at the time of writing, you can't even find it on Sandisk's Shopee or Lazada Singapore pages). Booths across Challenger, CR Group, TheMobileHub, and 12Buy.sg have it at S$167 for 1TB of storage. If you want to save some money, these booths also have 256GB (S$35.90) and 512GB (S$72) options, too.

Transcend HUB5C portable multi-port USB Hub

Transcend HUB5C 6-in-1 USB and SD card Hub.

Starving for more ports for your new shiny MacBook or Windows-based notebook?

The Transcend HUB5C is a 6-in-1 multi-port USB hub that adds a handful of crucial ports and slots within a light 51g gadget. You sacrifice one USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) port with a USB Type-C hole on your choice of notebook. In return, you get back that one port, on top of one USB-C with 60W Power Delivery, two USB Type-A ports (USB 3.1 Gen 1), one SD card (UHS-II) and one MicroSD card slot (UHS-I). Another perk is that the HUB5C is powered by the same port you plug it into, so there's no need to dig around for another power source to keep the hub going.

The Transcend HUB5C was originally priced at S$69, but it will be available for S$44.90 at the Challenger booth (Booth 305) at IT Show 2024.
