Top computing and networking deals from IT Show 2025

Note: This feature was first published on 13 March 2025.

The IT Show is the first major tech show of 2025 and it’s happening right now at Suntec Convention Centre, levels 3 and 4. If you are looking for a laptop or router, or simply need additional storage for your systems and devices, this is the place to be and this is the article you want to read. As usual, there’s loads to see and there are deals to be found if you look hard enough. To save you the trouble and hassle, I was at Suntec the moment the show opened to help you scour the best deals. Here’s what I found.

Don't forget to catch all of our IT Show 2025 coverage at the Tech Show Portal where you'll also find full brochure listings, reviews, guides, and more.

Remember, IT Show 2025 takes place this weekend from 13 to 16 March, at Suntec Convention Centre. Level 3 opens at 11am, while Level 4 opens at 12pm. Both levels close at 9pm.

Acer Aspire Lite 15

One of the most affordable laptops I saw at the show was the Acer Aspire Lite 15. It comes with a 15.6-inch Full-HD display and is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E. It’s going for S$649 (U.P. S$749).

You can find it at the Challenger booth (305) on level 3.

Apple MacBook Air (M4)

Amazingly, the new M4 MacBook Airs are available at the show. However, don’t expect massive discounts on them. I was told that shoppers can expect to get 2% discounts, which means the base 13-inch MacBook Air with 16GB of memory and 256GB will cost S$1,469.02 (U.P. S$1,499). All purchases will come with a Mazer 10-in-1 USB-C hub and a 10,000mAh Valore wireless charging power bank.

You can find it at the Challenger booth (307) on level 3.

ASUS Zenbook Duo UX8406

If you need lots of display real estate on the go, there’s no better notebook than the ASUS Zenbook Duo. As its name suggests, it has two 14-inch OLED displays, each supporting a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. The best thing about this laptop is that it comes with a detachable wireless keyboard, and when the keyboard is attached, it looks just like a regular notebook. Furthermore, it weighs just 1.65kg. So, it’s really just as portable as a regular 13 or 14-inch laptop. It is powered by the Intel Core 9 Ultra 285H processor and has 16GB of memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD. It’s going for S$2,849 (U.P. S$2,999) and comes with a free sleeve case and stylus.

You can find it at the Challenger booth (305) on level 3.

If you are ready to splash the cash on a first-rate Wi-Fi 7 router, check out the ASUS ROG Rapture GT-BE98. This is a quad-band router that’s capable of delivering up to 25,000Mbps of bandwidth. To ensure users can take advantage of all that speed, it has a single 10Gbps WAN port and two 10Gbps LAN ports. It's going for S$1,049 (U.P.

Crucial T500

Readers looking for a high-performance PCIe 4.0 SSD should definitely check out the Crucial T500. This SSD delivers read and write speeds of up to 7,400MB/s and 7,000MB/s respectively. You can get it with or without a heatshield. The 2TB non-heatshield version is S$190, while the heatshield version is a tad more at S$238. In our opinion, opt for the heatshield version if your motherboard has no passive cooling options for this high-speed SSD. It’s also available in 1TB (S$103 - no heathshield / S$141 - heatshield) and 4TB (S$394 - no heatshield / S$468 - heatshield) capacities.

You can find it at the CR Group booth (8103) on Level 4.

Dell Inspiron 5440

An affordable and relatively modern 14-inch notebook that I found was the Dell Inspiron 5440. It has a 14-inch Full-HD display and is powered by the Intel Core 5 120U processor with 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD. It’s going for S$999.

You can find it at the Atrix booth (8111) on Level 4.

HP Notebook 15

If you are looking for an affordable 15-inch laptop, check out the HP Notebook 15. It has a 15.6-inch Full-HD display, the AMD Ryzen 5 7430 processor, 16GB of memory, and a 512GB SSD. It won’t break any benchmarking records, but the specs are decent for anyone who wants a no-frills laptop. It’s going for S$650.
