Furioso

It's the WiFi version. I'm not sure if Banana sells the LTE version. There's supposedly an Honor 9 Pro version as well but I haven't seen either in any store.

I went to Banana today and got the Honor Pad 9 for 10,900. They threw in a stylus pen, power bank, smart speaker, and flip cover for free.

I went to Vietnam as well but already had pre-paid for my re-entry visa when I did my annual renewal.

My neighbor went to Vietnam earlier this month and the lady at the Don Mueang airport asked if had an extra passport photo. He did but he didn't know it at the time. She charged him 200 baht for not producing the passport photo.

I'm down to either the Honor Pad 9(11,000 baht), or Xiaomi Pad 6(10,000 baht). Both tablets are rated very high. The Honor is 12 inch, the Xiaomi is 11 inch that might be the deciding factor.

I think the mail in process is very easy but if you can always try Maneerat on Soi 13.

Thanks, it's either the Xiaomi 6 or the Honor Pad 9. Similar pricing.

Yes, I'm updating all my gear. My Acer laptop blew its MB awhile back and a cheap tablet would be nice to have. I also would like a much better desktop than my HP Mini.

Yes, they don't seem to be in the top seven reliable brands. I don't really trust any brand but if you're not in the top 7 you're out.

you're right it's 17,900 on notebookspec website I hate when they make it look like you're getting a great deal.

Are local computer stores in Pattaya better than Banana? Maybe Wattana or Tukcom? I'm thinking any laptop I buy is only going to last 2-3 years so it's better to buy on sale lol.

I think you're right. I had an Acer a few years back and it seemed cheaply made. Banana has a light(1.3kg)Asus Vivobook with the same specs for 15,000, down from 19,000.

I'm looking for a light laptop(1.25kg) and this Acer is on sale on Banana for 17,000 baht(down from 26,000 baht). I believe it has backlit keyboard, fingerprint ID. I'm in Pattaya I like to get a good deal but leery about Acer. Any suggestions for a light 14 inch laptop is welcome. Thank you.

I just got back from Vietnam it's a huge difference as they are still skinny. Although I did go to a Vietnamese restaurant in Danang and there was this big family get together where I saw the atypical fat uncle constantly stuff food and drink in his face, it was effing funny/hilarious.

I'd like to ride from Pattaya to Ho Chi Minh city but I don't think Vietnam will let me in.

I've got a ADV 160 it's pretty good, perfect for Pattaya traffic but overall not a great scooter as I've ridden my neighbors Forza 350 and that's impressive. What is the Rolls Royce of 350cc scooters to buy in Thailand? I've got a couple of friends that love their Forza 350's. Another guy I know swears the Xmax puts the Forza 350 to shame. I'm looking to upgrade next year.

Aren't most Russians that come to Thailand couples? They fill up the 29sqm condo, spend a little money(x2), and keep very quiet.

That Khao Talo intersection sucks!

I looked at the customer reviews on gsmarena website and the Xiaomi Pad 6 is mostly very positive. I compared to Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, which is getting outdated. The reviews are mostly "meh".

Yes, I just digged a little deeper it's not worth the risk. I want a 12.4 inch screen but hard to find a good price. Might just buy the 11 inch Xiaomi Pad 6 for 11,000 baht.

I see the Chinese version of Xiaomi pad 6S Pro 12.4(yes, 12.4) is available on some sites here in Thailand. It only works in Chinese and English but not Thai, which will anger my gf. However, the price is so damn cheap I'm really tempted to purchase.

Thanks, looks like you got a good deal. I wonder how the Oppo compares to the similarly priced Xiaomi Pad 6?

I see the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus is now on sale for 20,000 baht. I know Honor and Redmi tablets are cheaper but prob not near the quality of the S9 series

I'm wondering if wage theft is simply slamming the Brits way more than other western countries?

ok I switched to Gboard instead of Samsung typing and it works fine now.
