The Chinese customs has a very broad statement:
Personal articles intended to remain in the territory, valued at
RMB2,000 or above, carried by non-Chinese residents. | The exceeding
part or amount (subject to reasonable personal use) above the
limitation set by the Customs shall be levied duty upon.

Since you intend to remain for only 2 weeks, this will not be applicable to you.
Furthermore, you are allowed to bring 1 laptop to China along with you
Staff of oversea diplomatic agencies, overseas students, visiting
scholars, overseas contracted workers, foreign aid personnel who have
stayed abroad for 180 days, and seafarers who have stayed abroad for
120 days are permitted to bring one item duty-free. Other travelers
are allowed to bring one item duty-free each year.

So as long as you are not buying an additional laptop and taking it out of China, you won't have to pay customs. But since it's China and they have strict regulations you should ask the Customs officers for details or choose the “Goods to Declare Channel” (RED CHANNEL).

I don't agree with the last statement. Talking to customs when you don't have to can cause you problems, especially if you don't speak Mandarin. Also I am struggling to remember, but I don't think there are coloured channels in Chinese airports, rather there is a separate desk for declarations?
