Hi Guys,
Before we get into specifics, thanks for being a supportive forum. Other major forums, like Dave's ESL, may be great in number. But, I have not found the focus, help, and support on here. Thanks again for making living in China that much better.
1. My current situation is, my computer is dying of old age, about 4 years old.
It was given, on special order, on a trip to Hong Kong. It has been great, and exceeded all my expectations. That is a good and rare thing.
2. However, I need a new computer. Normally, I would simply fly down to Hong Kong, go to the big centers, or small centers, and bring it back.
But, with all quarantines, that is not feasible, even if money was no option.
3. I should say I have never really cared about brand. I will even buy new or used.
Rather, I just want good "bang for the buck," "value," or "purchasing power" for whatever money I send.
4. My contact, in Shenzhen, who got me the good deal last time, and has some experience with technology, says just to use JD.com.
5. What do you guys think?
a. Try to contact well-rated sellers in HK, and have them mail me a computer?
b. Buy in China, on JD.com?
c. Buy used, from a vendor?
6. Of course, a detailed answer will be more convincing than a simple answer.
Thanks
