I just bought a Asus Vivobook OLED 16gb, Ryzen 7 5800 nice machine for 25k. I agree, but if I can fix it at a reasonable price I will and keep it for emergency use. As I said earlier I have already ordered a new Dell Inspiron. As a matter of interest where did you get the Asus from? I looked at "Invade IT" and for the exact same model Dell as I ordered from Powerbuy the price their price was 3K Thb more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Update: Some strange things have happened! I was trying to order a new keyboard and battery for the HP Pavillion whilst I was waiting for delivery of the New Dell Inspiron which I had ordered from Powerbuy!.. I was told the new HP keyboard and battery would take anything from 30-45 days to deliver!...... So I went back to the repair shop and retrieved the HP and bought a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard so that at least I could use it whilst waiting for the Dell to arrive. Logitech keyboard worked fine with the HP Plugged In at the mains and then by chance after a couple of days I tested the original keyboard and it is working fine again. Then there was a problem with the Dell delivery from Powerbuy...."Lost in Transit". Powerbuy offered a refund rather than a re-order so I said yes! HP is working GREAT AGAIN apart from no battery (No Problem) and I will take take a visit to a local "Bricks & Mortar" establishment before I get my next laptop!.... I will never buy anything of significant value online in Thailand again! Ho-Hum....TIT! Edited April 26, 2022 by Troy Tempest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will go in and try myself. Or do you suggest otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was recommended to buy a Higher spec Dell by my local "Techie".....She says they are good! But, when I asked where to buy.....She said "From me"! I have read up on Higher End Dells and they seem okay!...... Edited May 2, 2022 by Troy Tempest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
