I understand your budget is 10K. I had this same conundrum a few years ago with 12 and 14 year old. Buy something she can use for at least 5 years. This is what I did and I have no regrets. You might spend a bit more now, but she will be better off. Please don't buy online. Go to a shop. Look around. Don't let them install their junk W10 orW11 when the computer comes with it. I think we spent 15K each. 

BTW I am not a computer expert. This is my opinion based on having girls about the same age, and what they use the computers for. 

Watched old guys wander around Central like they were completely lost. Immigration too. Then. got on an Mbike. Crazy

How small of a car do you want?

I started the DS160 months in advance, and glad I did. A few questions about her family required some research, and the people we needed to talk to weren't readily available. Get it done, save a copy to your computer, and take care of the other stuff when you feel comfortable. 

I received the first check about this time last year. I have not received the 2nd or 3rd amount. I've used the "Get My Payment" website as recent as today, with no luck. 

I did file for 2020 and I meet all requirements for those payments.

Any ideas?

Good choice. It's not the fastest but you know that already.

I highly recommend that you ask them to add a M.2 with 256 GB or more and install Windows (or whatever you use as OS) on that one. It will make the computer a LOT faster. And that should be done right from the beginning.

Then you can keep lots of data on that (relative) slow HDD and Windows and the programs on the very fast M.2.

If you have more questions ask here or if you like send me a private message.

 

 

After communicating with Jet a few times, I ended up ordering the M.2, with the latest version of Windows, 8RAM

A bracket comes in the box of every NUC. With that bracket it can be fixed at the back of many monitors. The monitor connection is an industry standard.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts.

I ordered this NUC with 8 GB RAM

And this monitor

I contacted Jet via LINE app to ask some questions. The rep was very informative, with good English, so I did the deal.

Thanks again to you all

I need a new desktop PC and screen. I ran across a closed TV thread, talking about NUCs with this website https://www.jetcom.co.th/index.php.

These seem like pretty nice units, without the giant clunky box, and the prices are encouraging. Plus, I only buy what I want, not a package. One of these, and the monitor of my choice seems like a good deal. My concern is, how hard are they to work on or upgrade in todays market?

BTW I would like genuine Win10 installed.

Your thoughts?

Oh dear........now you've done it!

 

Hope it wasn't my comment on the 10 lane highway that runs through Kamala, that influenced your comments.

I was exaggerating..............it's only six lanes.

With food vendors, double parked bikes and construction of the new median (aka Death Valley), it's down to 3 lanes total.

Which three places?

I'll assume each community has its own government clinic, like here in Kamala. Why aren't they doing it? A staff of six could do 100s a day.

Run where?

JC, what a complete boondoggle. 

That's a terrible place to sit, he'll be hit by a car. 

I use the Sony CH500. Sound quality is good, at about 1900 Baht. Wireless BT range is about 10 meters. 

Well, at least he didn't throw her in a wheelie bin, and store her under the house for several months. 

It took me 20 minutes to get here, to make another complaint. C'mon ThiaVisa, this is stupid. I'm pretty much done at this point. <deleted>? are you doing?

Thanks for the replies. The rumore mill said big sales, at 70 percent off as DFPhuket mentioned. A remodel makes sense, in this time.

Can anyone confirm?

Good gravy, it's getting worse. 

I've been trying to reach this thread, for the past 4 hours. Something ain't right. 

@Unify, Smart Bus website had the revised Covid schedule posted, on their website a few months ago when they resumed service. I'm sorry your Thai friend didn't see it, it wouldn't have been logical to change all the physical signs for a temporary situation. 

It's really a shame, I used it frequently, it's a good service. Hope to see it back soon. 

Wow, I didn't know Chesty Puller was a Thai Cop.

My children were informed yesterday by their teachers, that they will be returning to school on Thursday.
