Zhongguancun
The Zhongguancun area is sometimes called China's Silicon Valley, because of its many universities and IT-based companies. It also has a score of really big markets, selling anything you can imagine in computers and electronics, and they are all within walking distance from each other.
One market that stands out in the crowd is Zhonghai electronic market, selling used computer stuff and notebooks, which could be convenient if you prefer low prices rather than getting the latest model.
The markets in this area really have anything you could possibly need for you computer. What is more, many of the markets offer cheap computer repair service.
Salespeople and atmosphere
Few of the salespeople speak English. If you find someone who does, however, they are often able to help you even if their store doesn't have what you are looking for. If you are planning to buy something a little more expensive, and don't speak mandarin, it can be wise to bring someone who does. Prices are negotiable.

Hi!
I need to buy a 2 Tera Internal Hard Disk. I've been in Beijing many times but to be honest I don't trust Chinese people.
Do you think I should buy from them or wait till I go to Low Yat Plaza in Malaysia?
If so, should I go to Zhongguancun or Buynow?

Hi!
We didn't see this post, sorry. A very late reply that might help someone else.
Buying things in China can be difficult and being tricked is not uncommon, especially as a tourist. We have an article related to buying electronics in Beijing that might help you out. Zhongguancun is definitely a better choice if you want a greater variety of things.

Hi! Yes you can surely find it at Zhong guan cun. Like the HP Slate, MSI Winpad P100 or the chinese Hanvon TouchPad B10 are all running on Windows 7. This place have almost everything, but be sure to have enough time to look around since it's a huge place.

Hi Rohit, i'm sorry to say it but yes, chances for fakes are high in Beijing. So your father can either try to get a really cheap fake that probably works good for some time or be sure to get a real one by looking for retailers in Beijing at sony's website.
