Best Technology Market?

[LishaEden]

Hi,

I looking into buying a new computer and maybe an ebook reader this spring. Any ideas on where the best tech markets are? I know I could go down to my local Suning but I like tech markets (or I did in Shanghai and Zhengzhou). Anyone have any good recommendations?

Where are you located?

Wudaokou, but I have no problem getting to most of the rest of the city (as long as it's with-in the fourth ring road).

I have to tell you that I basically know every other tech market in Beijing...my first option is zhonguangcun. Remember that zhonguangcun is Beijing's tech neighborhood. There is even a subway station right there. By the way, if you want to buy second hand computers (or having problems finding a spare part) just at the west of zhonguangcun subway station there is a really good electronics second hand martek.

Don't forget to bargain!

Is this also a good place to buy an electronic dictionary? I would like to find a nice one that I can write characters to look them up (sadly I don't have a iPhone). Does anyone know how much it should cost?

apologies if there's a recent post about this already- the ones i saw seemed pretty outdated.

THANKS in advance!

Cheapest decent writeable dictionary costs around 600RMB in Zhongguancun. Don't forget to bargain.

Besta is the best brand for beginners.
