Buynow Pu Dong(浦东百脑汇)

Pacific Digital Plaza III had been the best place to go for computers and digital products. But in September of 2007, Buynow brought the hot competition in Xu Jia Hui(徐家汇) to Pu Dong(浦东). Buynow Pu Dong branch sits at a premium spot, right next to Times Square(时代广场) and facing No.1 YaoHan Department Store(第一八佰伴). The perfect location helps it to get a lot of customers.

Tips on shopping for computer/digital products.
1. Always get the quotations from at least 3 shops. Some shops might give a very high quotation seeing a foreigner. For most of the products, you can find them in more than one shops, so check the price as much as you can. Why do you have to pay more only because you are a foreigner?
2. Low end products, like flash cards, low end PC components, could be less expensive than in other countries. But high end stuffs like high end CPUs, display cards, monitors, are probably a lot more expensive than in US, Hong Kong, Japan. Remember to check the prices on websites like newegg before going!
