You could have the issues you noted so will that be a big problem for you?
My current LG laptop broke down, and I need to go through computer science class, where I have to use Javase and Eclipse. I can’t wait for weeks just to get a laptop from my homeland (south korea), so I decided to buy ASUS S4100vn from a webshop in China. It costs around $800.
However, I heard rumors about hardware and software restrictions, such as pirated windows and junk files for no reasons. People were also negative about buying laptops in China( although it was about buying at local markets). Is there no big problem for buying a laptop in China?
