5 is back from its little break and this week we have some images from Computex 2009 held at the Nangang Exhibition Center, Taipei, Taiwan.

Computex 2009 began Tuesday 2nd June and will run until the 6th. Held annually in Taipei, Taiwan (Republic of China), it is one of the largest computer and technology expos in the world. Key exhibitors include Microsoft, AMD, Intel, Hitachi, Asus and SanDisk. A total of 1,712 exhibitors will attend the show, down 1% on 2008 amidst the continued global economic crises. Ulra-thin notebook and netbooks, solid state storage devices and touch screen technology are key in this years exhibition, as well as new processors and chipsets from Intel and AMD.

I was out there on Tuesday meeting with the guys from First Zoom. Be sure to check out their video reports as well.

Computex will run until Saturday. If you’re in Taipei and interested in new developments in info-tech, it’s worth getting out there before it closes.
