Laptop fair begins today

A three-day laptop fair starts at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Dhaka today. 

Expo Maker is organising the TechShohor laptop fair, for the 15th time, with 'laptop for all' being this year's motto. It will remain open from 10am to 8pm until Saturday. 

There are three pavilions, seven mini pavilions and fifty stalls at the fair this time, where Techshohor, Acer, Asus, HP, Intel, Samsung, Gigabyte, Toshiba, Apple, Lenovo, Twinmos, Gigabyt, Logitech, D-Link, Showme, HTC, and Gionee are participating, among others. 

Gigabyte is setting up a gaming zone for the fair's visitors, they said.  

Panda antivirus is sponsoring the tickets and the fair, along with ABC Radio, edu-maker and TRON. One-fourth proceeds from ticket sales will be donated for the earthquake victims of Nepal. 

The companies will exhibit laptops, tablet computers, WiMax internet devices and antivirus packages, some of which are not yet available in the market, organisers said.
