NoshowJones Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I was thinking about a new Dell Inspiron, I looked at Model no 3581-w5666015150 2G GDDRS. at TUK in Pattaya. I am now back home up country, and noticed one for sale at my local Advice centre at 2000Bt cheaper. I cannot ask them about it as unlike at TUK, their English is non existant. Would a new Dell bought at the Advice shop have the same three year warranty and after sales service as one bought at a main dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shady86 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Yes. You can always check the warranty on dell website. Advice is pretty popular computer store and reliable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweedledee2 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Or you could have done what I did. Advice's online store lists that Dell model with a 2-year warranty selling online for 12,790 baht with free shipping. I have made several purchases from their website and the prices are generally lower than in their retail stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From whence did you get the idea that a three year warranty is free in Thailand? It's an additional option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
