A three-day laptop fair will start on Wednesday at Dhaka Hotel Sheraton.
Thirty-nine companies will showcase products at 18 pavilions and 21 stalls at the Qubee Laptop Fair 2011, organised by Maker Communication. The fair will remain open from 10am to 8pm with an entry fee of Tk 20.
“The objective of the fair is to bring all laptop vendors under one roof to offer consumers the maximum choice and range of prices,” said Syeda Farzana Rumpa, coordinator of the fair, at a press conference at Sonargaon Hotel yesterday.
Organisers said they expect to sell over 4,000 laptops at the fair, because everyone is depending on laptop due to the power crisis.
Qubee is the title sponsor of this year's fair and Asus, Gateway, Samsung, HP and Toshiba are co-sponsors.
“We are proud to be part of this year's laptop fair,” said Nehal Ahmed, chief marketing officer of Qubee. “To give our customers high-speed internet services there will be a special offer,” he added.
Any customer buying a Samsung laptop at the fair will get a Qubee modem with one-month usage validity for free, said Mahmud B Kaiyum, market communication manager of Samsung Electronics.
The customers will also enjoy a 5-10 percent discount on Toshiba laptops, said ASM Shaukat Millat, product manager of Smart Technology.
The customers will have the opportunities to buy products from Asus, Toshiba, HP, Gateway, Samsung, Lenovo, Haier, Dell, Fujitsu, Apple, Acer, Sony, Compaq, Flora PC and Gigabyte.
