CPU3D is glad to announce that we will be bring you our exclusive coverage of the CeBIT 2008 Exhibition ... next month in March, 2008.
The CeBIT exhibition is undoubtedly Europe's largest hi-tech computer show, and it's one of the world's biggest. Staged in Hannover, Germany every year... the CeBIT exhibition not only caters for the European market, but also various other markets around the world.
You'll find a huge number of manufactuers displaying they latest products ranging from high-end computers and notebooks to PC accessories like cooling fans.
The exhibition will start on the 4th March 2008, and we'll be bringing you some exclusive photos of new products from top manufactuers such as Asus, Abit, Gigabyte, MSI and many more.
We already received our exclusive "PRESSE" passes for the exhibition this month. So there won't be any problems for us getting onto the premises. The press passes will allow us to enter some restricted "PRESS" only areas, which is great. We get to see a lot more than your average attendee.
I must emphaise that the organisers of Cebit have been VERY strict to whom they give out these press passes to ... and believe me, only vaild and legitimate online journalists like us are entitled to receive these press passes.
This year's CeBIT exhibition is going to be HUGE, and you can be sure that every manufacturer will be trying to impress all those potential customers. Watch this space for more exclusive news on CeBIT 2008 ... coming soon.
