Every year at Computex, we at Engadget covers all sorts of new (and sometimes strange) and influential products. In order to bring you correct and informative reports, we have to do lots of homework. Nonetheless, in this article, we'd like to offer you a different point of view. Here we have Mr. Chang from the Taipei Computer Association, the organizing body of Computex, to help us look at the whole exhibition from a more comprehensive perspective.
According to Mr. Chang, Computex was originally developed as a B2B common ground for overseas buyers. About 6 or 7 years ago, the exhibition switched gears to accommodate those Taiwanese buyers looking for better suppliers. Later, they invited Microsoft to be one of the most important guests, because lots of OEM companies at the time were working closely with Microsoft.
Mr. Chang also pointed out some differences between last and this year's show. Last year, the focus was on Netbook and Intel Atom. On the other hand, this year we have Intel's new CULV chipsets. There are also more companies coming up with newer Netbook designs. In terms of operating systems, Windows 7 is the center of attention. They are even announcing the official release date at Computex. Moreover, AiO desktops and its related peripherals are worth a look.
He also recommended us taking a second look at WiMAX. Even though this wireless network isn't functioning at its full capacity yet, it will definitely revolutionize wireless communication. More importantly, Taiwan will be at the center of the stage.
Engadget is undoubtedly your source of information on the latest gadgets. However, Mr. Chang recommends our readers check out the "Computrend" section at Computex. There, you will find the latest progress on in-car computer systems, as well as medical technologies.
