Please bear in mind that Thailand runs on nominally 230 volts and 50 Hertz and the US is on 115 volts and 60 hertz. You will need a step down transformer for the pc and the monitor and if you have a problem you may not be able to get the spare parts in Thailand.

mosan Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Just about everything you can purchase now comes already setup up to run 220/110 v 50/60 Hz. Check what your buy before you purchase and you'll probably be fine. Everything I have now was purchased in the last two years in the US with the exception of my big screen LED TVs' and even they are dual voltage/Hz ready... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Nowadays everything integrated in one board. Tear it down. Pack it up and ship it out. You'll only have half dozen parts at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ps have a switch as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meand Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 PC's are a tough sell nowadays. You can't move them or take them with you, and the gap between the power of pcs vs laptops has narrowed. Just buy a laptop at home during black friday and leave the pc there. Thank me later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Asus zenbook. 8gb ram. 2 drives boot is SSD. MX130/Intel video. i7. Aluminum body. Very light laptop. Windows 10 + Office 2019. Yeah it's overkill for what I do but I'm a nut for technology. Better to go big imo. Lasts 8 years. Just buy new. Carting old junk into Thailand is lame. Hope it's an epic, hot rod PC. Edited November 10, 2019 by Number 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I love my desktop PC, had it build to specs by JIB and I installed Win10 myself. It's used for editing photos and my son play games on it and off-course also a movie now and again on the 27" 4k screen. Only use my laptop when going working overseas and holidays, uses a tablet out on the patio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
