Not sure, but there was definitely talk he lugged his pc tower thru beijing airport, and then onto Tianjin. Perhaps he didn't like laptops? As for buying a monitor there, probably a better idea...I do recall getting a decent wireless keyboard and mouse combo in a computer market there, infinitely better than the rubbish keyboard laptops come furnished with. A linux man eh? What do you use then, you bun too, or the polo distro?
