Could anyone give me an estimate price for a Dell XPS M1530 laptop? I'm not yet in Guangzhou so i was wondering if I should wait till I get there to buy it or just get one from New Zealand. Here the price is $1899 which is the equivalent of 9962RMB.
Or a similarly speced laptop (2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 processor, 2GB DDR2-667 SDRAM, 160GB 5400 RPM SATA HDD...). Thanks.

Equivalent in HK costs HK$9,999 but is higher spec. Processor is the T8300 Centrino Core 2, and it has a 320GB SATA HDD.

Dell's HK website is a good starting point, was wondering if there are other places where you might be able to get a even better deal. Sounds like it's better if you shop in HK than in Guangzhou.

Dell pretty much only sell via the internet or phone, although they now have a couple of stores in HK where they will take an order. They only sell direct, you may find some of the smaller electronic retailers have some Dell models but they will be imports with very limited warranties. Certainly better to shop in HK, there is no sales tax on the laptops whereas in China you pay a sales tax. This can make IT products in China extremely expensive.

That's very useful to know, thanks evildeeds. Does the sales tax apply if you order via the net (while in China)? How much is exactly the sales tax.
Please support our advertisers:
Yes it does apply in China regardless of where you buy it. Couldn't give you and exact example of sales tax as it varies so widely in China but I believe it's something like 25%, but of course could be way out there.
