Danidan Posted May 10, 2017 at 04:07 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 at 04:07 PM I will be attending school in china by September. I'm not sure where I will be since I have to do one year language study in a school that is chosen for me. I need a laptop and I planned on just buying it in my country (the options are limited but I found an okay one) but my family suggested that I buy one for school when I get to China. Is this a good idea? Will it be easy to get a good laptop in china? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2017 at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 at 09:09 PM What about buying it online? depending of the results that I may receive in june I'll also plan to buy a laptop via Amazon. What's your budget? which brand do you want? do you want a average laptop or a gaming laptop? The only thing that I know is that apple products tend to be more expensive than in other countries.

imron Posted May 10, 2017 at 10:51 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 at 10:51 PM It will be cheaper, easier and more reliable to buy a laptop before you arrive in China. Edit: actually that probably depends in your home country. Which country are you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flickserve Posted May 11, 2017 at 03:27 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 at 03:27 AM Why not consider a Xiaomi laptop? The drawback would be win10 being in Chinese - but that might be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_Hart Posted May 16, 2017 at 07:26 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 at 07:26 AM Literally just went to buy a laptop with my girlfriend this weekend here in Hangzhou. Prices varied, but bargaining (she's Chinese - bring a friend if you're a foreigner and not good at bargaining) got the prices to around the same price in four different spots: Dell XPS 13 for 6700 yuan ($971) with i5, 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM. Not the 2-in-1 or whatever. Apple Macbook Air 13" 6300 yuan ($913). Same specs as above. XPS was around $150 more than what I purchased it for back in the USA, but the Macbook Air was actually cheaper than when my sister bought it - not sure if prices have shifted or what.
