Bad booths/good products or vice versa.

Zotac went yellow and had a prominent VR area to highlight people making fools of themselves.
Shenzhen Xiaoxi Technology Co. Ltd. brought us the "Miraffe!" an Android device on a stick shaped like a mirror/giraffe. This is the Computex we used to know.
Cases and cases of glowing buttons. Old-school Computex.
What Computex used to be renowned for - things like power supply factories looking for deals.
We've no idea what these are - possibly BlueTooth speaker skulls - but this is Computex so we took it in our stride.
What do you make laser pointers for?
The best way to show off your SO-DIMMs?

BenQ's stand looked funky. But they're still not in Australia.
Geil had a VR archery demo.
What the archer saw on Geil's stand.
Acer's stand. So pretty. So very many laptops. So similar looking.

Scandinavian booth design from Loop.
This company (whatever that says) had a drone flying in a cage all day.
Bitfenix had a good booth.
Bitfenix uses tempered glass for side screens.
Bitfenix's use of tempered glass avoids cheap plastic fading and distorting.
Lian Li used to be the Rolls Royce of case makers. Now not so much.

ADATA's stand was very pretty.
ADATA had a fashion show where instead of clothes the models showed off sticks of memory while the compere told us the specs.
