garfield529 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Just a thought, since we have had this problem: consider buying her a small netbook for her QQ and Chinese websites. I say this because we have had a lot of problems with viruses and such from these websites and unless you stay on top of the antivirus software it can kill your processing speed. We have two computers, and the "american only" one never has trouble with speed and function compared to his "QQ sister." Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two computers, and the "american only" one never has trouble with speed and function compared to his "QQ sister." Just a thought.That's our case too, we also run PP-Live on the net-book for watching streaming Chinese TV shows. Loaded on wife's net-book are:PP-Live http://download.pptv.com/ (Make sure you un-check ALL the CRAP extras)QQ - English Edition http://www.imqq.com/ (Again un-check all the crap)Language bar with Chinese Simplified IME http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Add-an-input-languageYoudao dictionary (Pops up translations to Chinese when hovering over words) http://cidian.youdao.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuehan123 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Yep, I tend to vote for the USA bought machine (as mentioned- local tech support) of increasing technological capability. That is pc, then laptop, then netbook, then what's them new fangled phones called that do everything? Phone option is probably out. Also agree with using an English Language Operating system but Chinese regional and language setup. It's surely a small thing to teach her to turn it on and let the homepage default to her favorite .cn website. Slowly, yet inevitably, she will learn more and more English. We too limit QQ use to one machine (the wife's of course). However, wife insists, and I've learned not to disagree, that if she does not click on all those stupid little pop ups or visit 'outrageous' sites,or download certain 'free' songs we do not have a virus problem. This part is demonstrably true. No, or very few, viruses found when her QQ laptop is operated her way. On the other hand, when the up north friends' teenage daughter visited for a week, it's a different story. Use separate machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_ling Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I am on the side of buying the computer in the US as it will be easy if you have problems you can ask what the problem may be on this site and fix yourself but in chinese you will not know what the problem may be to even ask questions. Also you can look online for coupons and sometimes find 20-30 percent off which is what we did on my wife's new computer.My wife's friend bought a new computer and brought it to the US and their computer trips their GFI breaker and the husband is trying to see if there is a grounding problem.

Let them do whatever they like and when they go home, destroy the VM or just jump back to a clean snapshot. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my computer works fine on darn near everything or site I go to, it's only problem is some occasional glitches with Candle. None of which I attribute to the Candle site. It's speed is almost what it is in America. The new computer is for my wife and son when we go to America, sorry if it seemed like I needed to replace mine. Thaks again, and good luck with that visa stuff. tsap seui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to buy a Chinese OS, if you buy a computer in the states go with Windows 7 Ultimate, ultimate provides the ability to switch the entire OS environment to any of multiple languages including Chinese, this is known as MUI support, (Multiple Language Interface), and Win 7 Ultimate has it, as well and Apple's Mac OS.
