I bought a macbook pro on taobao. It was genuine and super good for the price with top configuration but 10k less than from the apple store. It was a display computer, battery charged 11 times. It looks brand new too, no scratches or anything. And it has 1T of memory. The only thing is it's an older model, 2015 version and apple care has expired. But the shop gives 1 year warranty and 15 days of returning. If you PM me I can send you the link of the shop.

This is the link to the store. They also have newer versions, 2016 and 2017 but 10k more expensive with the same configurations.

 

I researched for a day and i think 2015 model is the best buy. 2013 one is cheapest, but i recommend the most expensive one among 2015 version.

 

They also installed a windows system. And the customer service were very friendly.

 

You will also get a mouse, a computer protection bag and other small gifts from them.

 

Check it out yourself.

 

Hope this helps!

Not I said the blind man.

 

When I bought my MacBook Air I just ordered it off the Apple Store (PRC).

TMall is also home to an official Apple Store.

 

Most everybody I know trusts these two sources.

Do you mean non official or fake Apple stores? I've seen stores called Apple that appear to sell Apple products.

I’ve been to two non official “ Apple” outlets in the Gangding district in GZ. Both times I was assisting Chinese friends recover their money after they purchased supposedly new iPhones. Turns out they were refurbished. I ran the serial no’s. Non official parts hmemory, screens). New boxes, accessories appeared to be, but were not Apple.

Do you have a Sunion store near you? They’re Apple authorized resellers. They have a number if Apple shops in Guangzhou. I’ve bought a couple of new iPhones from them over a few years. They’re legit

DirkBourne:

funny, you are asking nicely for information while on other posts you insult. Typical keyboard warrior. No wonder that you can only find a job in henan. Pathetic

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
