Anyone bought a MBP in China?

A good friend of mine is in China and was saying how much cheaper electronics are there. She will be looking for a MBP for me at a local Apple Store. Has anyone had any experience doing this? Will it be english compatible? Will it be cheaper? Any other ideas?
Thanks

I travel to China for work yearly. Electronics are dirt cheap there, except for Apple gear. Apple prices are fixed the world round, so don't expect prices to be cheaper - you may in fact find that they could end up being more expensive than US prices!! I know there was negnigable difference between RMB and AU$ prices last year.
For everything else electronic though, you'll get a great bargain!! Might be worth thinking about accessories rather than the real mccoy product (external drives etc)?

  • Anyone bought a MBP in the last week?

    How is it in regards to the heat, whine, moo issues?

    My story...
    Tuesday I bought a MBP 2ghz - $2499 - student discount of $200 - $2299. Get it set up and it whined BAD. VERY loud. Was week 14. gave me a headache. In the morning I woke up, went to apple.com and saw the new faster MBP for the same price! Went in to exchange becuase of the whine an dto get the faster machine since I bought it the night before at closing time.
    SO they agree to exchange. No problem!
    Fresh off the truck at the apple store. 2.16, 1GB ram, 100GB HD, same price, $2299 after discount.
    Took it home and had a defective sueprdrive or HD problem as no discs would install. computer would freeze about 1/3 into the install.
    Returned it. 1st guy I spoke with gave me a hard time and actually treated me as if I was stupid or even trying to scam them. He said I neede dto prove my problem. I said no problem. He siad we just dont 'swap" out computers and he wanted to charge me a restock fee for the defective one! All I wanted was an exchange for one that worked!
    He siad it would take about an hour to verify my problem and I had to be home before then as my wife ha dto go to work. I told him I would be back.
    Went home, picked up my son and we went back in but the guy was gone. i was helped by a super nice lady who I have seen before in the store. I pulled out my Photoshop disc and it froze. She opened a new MBP and it installed.
    She gave me an exchange no problem for a new sealed one. DIdnt even give me the one she just opened so I thought that was nice.
    Took home the new one, installed all of my software and charged it up. Ran it with battery to check for the whine and its there but not nearly as loud as my 1st 2ghz MBP.
    This one seems just about perfect except for the faint whine which I will live with.
    So, I got a 2.16 MBP with 1GB ram and 100GB HD for $2299. Great deal. Great laptop.

  • How can I use an international credit card when I bought my iPad in china and currently a residence of china?

    I want to purchase apps and because I reside in CHina the options for payment are Chinese banks and yet I hold an international credit card. I want to pay for my apps and unfortunately because I am not a Chinese citizen, I don't hold a local credit card but debit cards, does it mean I can't use my international British bank credit card to buy apps in China, as I also bought my IPad in China. The prompts for payment don't give me an option of international banks, but local Chinese. Please help me as I would love to have freedom to use my IPad and be able to purchase apps I want.

  • I bought a MBP 13 and I got the £70 App Voucher for being a student, I know want to return the MBP how can I do that? can I just pay the £70 for the app store voucher or what do i need to do? MacBook

    I bought a MBP 13 and I got the £70 App Voucher for being a student, I now want to return the MBP how can I do that? can I just pay the £70 for the app store voucher or what do i need to do?
    Thanks

    If you have redeemed the voucher for something separate from the computer, then it's a non-issue. If you redeemed it as a price reduction for the computer, then they will return only what you paid less the coupon.

  • I cannot use the Lion up-to-date program! I bought my MBP on June 8 and when entering the serial number says ineligible! Thanks!

    Thats the deal, i am a qualifiyng user for the Up To Date Program, and when entering the serial number of my MBP it says i am ineligible. I already tried with the form that had to be filled up if the direct method didn`t work and it has the same issue. My only possible explanation is that it seems they recently added a date limit for the submission of an order to get Lion free (July 19), which makes me be very disappointed with Apple because in the first communication about the up to date program they listed: "Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request" .
    Please help me, I am from Chile and my sister bought the MBP to me by the Apple Online Store, so I can`t personally go to an Apple Store to explain my problem.
    THANKS!

    Muchas Gracias!
    Pero dejame hacerte otra pregunta... No entiendo porque sale ahora lo de "submit before july 19th" si es que en un principio dijeron que uno tenia 30 dias desde que saliera Lion para los que compraran despues del 6 de Junio. Esa es mi gran angustia en verdad, no me importa esperar, pero me daria mucha rabia haber perdido la oportunidad de descargarlo gratis. Tu llenaste alguna orden o algo similar antes del 19 de Julio? Yo no hice nada parecido, sin embargo cuando me meto a la parte de la garantia con mi serial number me sale que mi MBP esta activo y registrado y todo.
    Disculpa las molestias, y nuevamente muchisimas gracias!
    P.D: No puedo llamar a Apple porque aca en Chile no esta la Apple Store oficial, es un "authorized reseller" y se llama MACONLINE, asi que no se si ellos me puedan ayudar.

  • Anyone bought Photoshop Elements from the Apps Store just recently?

    Anyone bought Photoshop Elements from the Apps Store, either recently (April 2014) or in the last 12 months, say? The version on the Apps Store is just the editor and so doesn't incorporate an organiser.
    I'm just wondering if anyone happens to know whether the Store edition of this app includes support for Canon RAW files of the CR2 type. I've looked all over the Adobe website for the answer but without success.

    Hi..
    You can post a question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements forum here.

  • Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?

    Has anyone bought the new ATI/MSI RS480M2-IL s939 motherboard yet?
    If Yes, How is It?
    This seems from what I've read at least to be a good or even great overclocker, It's too bad that It isn't a full ATX motherboard, Maybe If sales are good enough MSI will use this chipset on a Full size ATX motherboard one day. Of course It does have an Integrated ATI video card in It and It have as much as 128Mb ram for the pci-e built-in video or You could add a separate pci-e video card in the 16x slot. It's $94.00 right now on pricewatch.com of course.

    Ordered one for a home workstation from ZipZoomFly.com. Also picked up a 3000+ and already have 1GB of Adata PC4000. Will be utilizing onboard video until I have the need/desire to upgrade to PCI-Express video card. Hard drive will be a new Maxtor 250GB ATA-133 16MB Cache that I picked up from CompUSA for $99/no rebates :D
    I will post my thoughts after the system is together, should have parts by Thursday/Friday.
    Well at least You aren't buying from Logic Circle Systems That place will ship incompatible ram that is Intel approved and say then It is You cpu that is at fault, I should know I'd bought zoom3's motherboard and some Wintec ram(Samsung chips ending in TCCC) and They said they were tested and AMD approved(They aren't, Wintrec is Junk on an AMD Platform), I now have a Corsair CMX512RE-3200LL Dimm and My cpus work fine at PC3200 speeds and above, Logic Circle Systems said was at fault. Logic Circle Systems is a bunch of Liars and are not trustworthy.

    Call Apple sales support. Something apparently went wrong in your transaction. In the USA the number is 1-800-676-2775.
    Best of luck.

  • I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

    I recently bought 13" mbp 2012 and I noticed that I only got 2HRS max and the only thing Im doing is watch movies on VLC and surf the net. How long does you mbp battery last?

    That listed 7 hours is with very limited use. Low screen brightness, low keyboard backlight, No WiFi or bluetooth.
    Most I have ever gotten from my 15" 2011 model is around 5-6 hours and that was with very light use. Just Web, Chrome, and email, thunderbird, and Wifi.

  • Has anyone bought this Creative Labs MuVo V10

    Creative Labs MuVo V00 GB
    I want to buy one, and I find a deal for it is $35.

    Has anyone bought this one, do you like it's Is it a good price?

    For only the g model, not such a good price. I see competing g devices for about $20.00. I have the 2g Muvo00. I like it- especially uses AAA batteries- never worry about it dying unexpectedly. I cut a slit in my workout shoes and keep a spare AAA there.

  • Anyone bought the Gigaworks speakers + Decoder DDTS-100 Packa

    Hi everyone,
    Anyone bought the Gigaworks speakers + Decoder DDTS-00 Package but dun need the decoder? Please let me know? I need a decoder badly.. thanks..
    Kekin

    To connect your Soundblaster NX to your DDTS-100 decoder, and let the decoder handle the DD/DTS decoding, you have to connect a digital/optical/coax cable, from the digital output of the NX, to one of the digital inputs on the decoder.. Also make sure you have set the settings on the souncard, to "digital output only", so that the decoder can decode the encoded digital streams, sendt by the soundcard..
    if you want to connect your soundcard to the decoder via analog cables, and let the soundcard do the decoding it self, you will need to use a 7.1 analog-audio cable, that comes with both the decoder and the speaker system. Connect the audio cable from the analog output on the soundcard, to the input "switch-box", and set the switch-box to "PC-audio". Also make sure you have connected your speakers to the "switch-box".

  • I bought a MBP 13 inch, it has started to give me temperature trouble

    I bought a MBP 13 inch, it has started to give me temperature trouble. I installed SMC fan control, and there only right side fan RPM is shown. Does it mean my left side fan is spoiled? I brought it about 3 months ago.

    You are under warranty. Take the MBP to an Apple Store, or Apple Certified Reseller and have them perform a hardware evaluation.
