well-built, high spec'd and high-priced
I am happy owner of an M3 from eurocom.com, which, together with most of their machines, falls roughly into that category, too, but comes (at your choice) without operating system pre-installed. (I'm running gentoo GNU/Linux.)
Their philosophy is ``fully upgradeable'', so that may appeal to you. If I understand correctly, these are really Clevo machines; in Europe they are available under a different brand, which I forgot. (``Eurocom'' sits in Ottawa...)
If you are still in China, perhaps you can even find a direct way to buy a Clevo machine in Shenzhen or HK?
(The 13.3 inch M3 and M4 are not listed currently on the Eurocom main pages; I'd ask.)
(You brought at least one of those ThinkPenguin WiFi dongles? ;-)
Good luck!
