I've just bought the Acer SF314-52. Mine had an i3 7100 in it instead of the i5 8250 but for 14,444 baht i thought it was a good deal. Great machine btw.

If buying a laptop it really is worth messing about with them on a buying tour rather than just relying on spec listed. I have noticed that many laptops appear these days to have rather dull screens compared to a decent phone. Its the ergonomics that are rather important and that means in addition to screen display check out the keyboard keys, keyboard flex and trackpad. A friend of mine with tin ear, bought a relatively high spec Acer about 18 months ago. Looks like junk already.
