Where is it better to buy electronics, Hong Kong or Japan?

Question:

Hi there,
I'm going on a trip to Asia and am not sure where to buy electronics... any tips, as well as shops recommended are appreciated.

Answer:

If you're in the US, buy here. It's a myth that things are cheaper in Japan. In Hong Kong you run the risk of cheap fakes.
Things in Japan tend to be the same, or even higher as much of these products need to be imported. Even this Toshiba lap top I'm typing this on was made in China.
EDIT : another problem is warranty. Most warranties are only good in the country they were bought.
