And if that laptop is dead on arrival, or if the disk drive dies in 3 months, or the OS is the Chinese version, who is going to fix it? Are you going to send it back to China? You pay a little more, but you get support and piece of mind. When you buy things, don't just think "price", unless it is something disposable, because you get what you pay for!!
2 :
Try to find a database and look up the company, check their reputation, and if it's good buy the laptop.
3 :
Ask a nearby China consulate

buying a laptop on ebay from hong kong
buying a laptop on ebay from hong kong?
So I am on ebay and there is this seller that is selling 7 inch netbooks all the way from hongkong. bids start at 50 bucks. problem is that he is selling out of hong kong and wants a phone number when u order so he can make sure u get the package on time. What do u think? Should I go for the bid or forget it? I dont know if i should trust a package comming from outside the us. how do I know I will get the package? He has 98 percent of postive feedback. What do u think?

Well on ebay you're protected, if you use paypal. when you win the item he will need to provide tracking number on auction listing or send you an email of the tracking number. Receiving items from outside the united states is safe as long as its actually coming. The only reason you wouldn't get item is because there was complications in customs. I buy from chinese manufactures all the time. It usually takes about a week to arrive. Make sure you use paypal though. If any case where he didn't send item u can dispute on ebay to get your money back.
2 :
I've bought many things that come from HK. There are quality business thriving out of the city. I primarily go on the quality of the feedback. Does he have a lot of sales and does he have positive feedback. You answered yes to one of these.
3 :
If you bid just remember there may be customs fees. If he has good feedback and you pay with Pay Pal you should have no problems. I would not give my phone number the eBay mail system should be all he needs. I have seen those same netbooks from American sellers for about $125

Not that I'm aware of. Last time I flew internet wasn't available. Having said that, read on: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,141545,00.html
2 :
Yup!!! You just have to ask an attendant for them to hook you up with the internet.....I'm pretty sure.....but you might have to be first class...Have a good day, hope I helped! :)
3 :
The FCC made it OK a few years ago, but few airlines are jumping on the bandwagon. Check Cathay's site to see. Add: OK, I checked. They don't.
4 :
Check with your airline cathay pacific. If they have the skyphone, you may be able to dial-up!
5 :
yes. but i think you have to pay extra... unless you plan on going first or business class..
6 :
If they don't have high speed access you can more then likely use the phone in the back of the seat in front of you if you have a 56k modem in your laptop...
7 :
No, you can't use the internet while aboard a plane. A internet connection either requires a plug in to a phone jack or WiFi, which is wireless internet. WiFi can be applied to specific areas, such as a coffee shop or office. However, it cannot be applied to an airplane because it is constantly moving. However, most airports have WiFi so you can always use it then.

There might be on the more expensive airlines, such as the one that goes from London. But most flights have the option, to watch a video- well almost most.

Contact Cathay Pacific. http://www.cathaypacific.com http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_INTL/contactus/worldwidecontacts

NO, you would have to have a connection more than likely by satellite. A plane traveling 500 to 600 miles per hour would never be able to maintain a connection. I have been on cruise ships that try to maintain connection at 25 miles per hour, and they cannot keep a good connection. You best put some video games on the PC and some music files and bring your headphones. If you have some layorer or plane connection points you may be able to get a wifi connection in the airport.

Boeing introduced the "Connexion by Boeing" (CBB) in 2000 to offer airlines internet installation on board the plane. Several airlines already have inflight internet service available thanks to CBB, they are: Lufthansa, ANA, JAL, SAS, China Airlines, Singapore Airlines, ASIANA Airlines, Korean Air, El Al, ETIHAD Airways. Cathay Pacific is not one of the launch carrier in this service, so no internet service on Cathay flight. However, due to heavy loss from the launch 6 years ago, Boeing recently is considering whether to sell or shut down CBB

Are electronic gadgets cheaper in Hong Kong
Are electronic gadgets cheaper in Hong Kong?
We're having a trip to HongKong this week. I wonder if electronic gadgets such as mobile phones and laptops are cheaper there (compared to Philippines). And I would also like to know what other stuff can be bought there at a low price.

1 :
Hong Kong is one of the cheaper places to buy electronic gadgets. This is because Hong Kong is a free port and there are no taxes on imports, plus being next to China many items are at close to Chinese price. However people from the US will generally be dissapointed in the prices as the US has very low prices on electronic gadgets. In addition some items, like Sony products, use standard international pricing which means their products are the same high price everywhere. You also have the issue of warranties, with some products requiring an additional fee to have an international warranty, which other products may require that you pay for the repairs and send off for reimbursement.
2 :
I compared the price difference on cameras the last time I was preparing to go to Hong Kong from the UK. There seemed very little difference between the prices in Hong Kong and the UK. I bought my camera in the UK because of the warranty issue. Take a look online to compare prices. Also beware of fakes in HK and only use registered dealers if you decide to buy.
3 :
No. The prices are the same. The choice is wider.
4 :
Hong Kong is known to have a wide array of choices for electronic gadgets from laptops, TV's, camera, mobile phones, etc etc. Most items are cheaper, not by so much though. One thing Hong Kong prides on is they discourage fake products (you will see http://www.nofakes.hk/ posters and signs everywhere in MTR stations) so what you are getting is the real value of true product at a reasonable price. For mobile phones, there are many stores offering re-conditioned phones, basically they offer refurbished phones at a low price, the quality is not so bad, I had bought a 5310 Nokia in Mongkok and still works fine, no visible scratches or any damage. Other countries like Singapore, they offer a big tech sale almost each year, opening up newest products on the market, while the price might not be considered a big sale, the freebies of casing, lens protectors, bags, memory cards and other stuff makes up for it.
5 :
I presume it can be cheaper then the Philippines. Why don't you just compare some prices for some items you target? This website is in Chinese, but with the picture should be easy to operate: http://www.price.com.hk PS: study also about potential import taxes in PH.
6 :
as we r taxfree........some items can be cheaper than Phil i guess. anyway, many tricky appliances shops out there........beware!! especially in Tsim Sha Tsui area as it's the main tourist's area. u sh goto those hugh chain store....such as Fortress Store here in HK as they dun cheat
