Re: Buy computer in China or bring own?

In Response To: Buy computer in China or bring own? (Justin)

If it comes to hardware, you may be able to purchase PCs or notebooks of reasonable quality in any major Chinese city.

When it comes to software, it is another thing: Computers sold in China would normally have all software in Chinese installed on them - including the Chinese version of Windows! If you happen to obtain a copy of a Western Windows version (English), you may be lucky but it's quite likely that it would be a pirated version then - in other words, an illegal copy. Far too many problems in the end - therefore, I would suggest you bring your own! Bringing your notebook along is no problem; I did the same!
