Laptop Rentals

Short-term MacBook rental options needed.

Check out some of the larger electronics stores in Shanghai's shopping districts – they often have short-term rental options, or at least can point you in the right direction. Alternatively, look into online marketplaces like Taobao; you might find individuals renting out MacBooks. Just be sure to read reviews carefully before committing to anything.

That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't considered Taobao for rentals – good thinking about checking reviews there, too. I'll look into the electronics stores as well. Appreciate the help!

Airplane Parking? Or...what's that?

Those numbers look like coordinates. Maybe some kind of geotagging?

Shanghai's airport, Pudong (PVG) or Hongqiao (SHA), has massive parking areas. Those numbers though... yeah, probably coordinates. Maybe a flight tracking app or something? Could be anything really. They're not showing you where to park your airplane, I hope. Unless you're expecting to just roll up in your own private jet. Then, well, different story entirely.

Ha! Yeah, I figured it wasn't my airplane parking. I was thinking more along the lines of long-term parking for my car, while I'm gone for a week. Those coordinates threw me, though. Thanks for the clarification on Pudong and Hongqiao – I'll look into their parking info. Guess I should've been more specific. My bad!
