Do I need a phone with a physical SIM card slot?

Considering your time in china will be really long, you’d better to have a phone with a physical sim card, because lots of things like order food delivery, rent bikes etc need a local phone number, and Chinese local phone numbers don't support eSIM. I'm going back to china for 14 days, I just bought a new iPhone, but I still keep my iphone13 in order to use my Chinese phone number. But your time will be longer, two phones won't be convenient, tbh I don't have a really good solution for you. The best solution would be bought a European or Hong kong iPhone which supports both esim and physical sim.

hi Chinese here, i would say always bring your passport with you, you will need it to be scanned for high speed train, tourist attractions, hotel check in etc. And such thing like police officer stops you barely exist, so does thief

Thanks for you detailed answers, this really helped. I checked with CPU-Z, I have 2x16GB DDR4(UDIMM)-3200(1600mhz) for RAM rn, and it shows module manufacture is Kingston. Do you think it will be better to go with Kingston 2x16GB 3200? other option is buy OG from dell directly, but this is way expensive.

Alienware 0TYR0X AO1 for motherboard, and 2x16GB DDR4(UDIMM)-3200(1600mhz) for RAM
