giddyup Posted Tuesday at 06:18 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:18 AM I'm a complete Luddite when it comes to computers, I bought my present Lenovo All-in-one about 6 or 7 years ago and it's starting to give problems. It's started to get slow, also problems with the on-off switch, so time to upgrade. I mostly use it for downloading movies, Google searches and emails, no gaming, so doesn't have to be top of the line. It's more convenient for me to order direct from Lazada than trawling around computer shops, so any recommendation appreciated. Happy to spend a max of 25,000 baht.

BigStar Posted Tuesday at 06:58 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:58 AM Best to get a custom build from Advice, JIB, or Invadit. Invadit communicates well in English and has a good rep. They can suggest a parts list, and you can run it by the members here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FinickyOne Posted Tuesday at 07:25 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:25 AM The reason to buy local is that you can go to them for service... if you have a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lenovo offer 3 years onsite service, so as long as it comes with the full warranty, as my present one did, should be no reason not to buy from Lazada.

OneMoreFarang Posted Tuesday at 10:19 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:19 AM https://www.lenovo.com/th/en/ You can often choose extended warranty for a good price. They have notebooks and desktops, etc. JIB is also good. I don't know if they are also in Pattaya. https://www.jib.co.th/web/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted Tuesday at 10:21 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:21 AM A friend of mine recently purchased a Lenovo tablet for his kid on Lazada - it came with the programs in Chinese and he could not change it... The Lenovo dealer wanted nothing to do with it... he thinks it might not even be a legitimate Lenovo... but a copy... I don't know if there is a resolution... but how wants problems to save 300 baht.... and his was not cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then forget Lazada and go to 'Tuk Com' or 'Power Buy' and see what you are getting first hand. And talk to the people there. Its risky buying any technology on Lazarda, or other online outlets, where you don't know where the kit is coming from, or its authenticity.

My present Lenovo came from Lazada 8 years ago and is 100% genuine. If you buy from reputable Lenovo sellers with the 3 year warranty you can't go wrong.

Wouldn't be any different if you had ordered through Lazada. Who is very convenient to access multiple vendors, comparing prices and process payments without leaving your banking data in too many places. Many people don't seem to understand that Lazada isn't a vendor (Lazmall is), it is a [international] shopping/payment hub.

I can only use my phone or tablet but the reviews are in Thai and can't be translated within the app. I can get into Lazada and after one or two searches the search bar disappears when using my PC. I sent many inquiries and never heard back. My laptop has the same issues. Frustrating and obviously they don't want people using a PC. There website is terrible and constantly give me "high traffic -comeback later messages". Frustrating and used them all the time pre 2020 but gave up 4 years ago.

CanadaSam Posted Tuesday at 03:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:04 PM OP, the specs you posted is for a very fast and decent computer. But, you will have serious problems not being able to use it, because the operating system is still DOS, not Windows. Also, it probably will not have Office or any other required software pre-installed. You can request them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the Lazada seller would install Windows 11 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroubleandGrumpy Posted Wednesday at 02:49 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:49 AM IMO - due to the very slack consumer laws in Thailand - you should buy a brand laptop from an approved certified supplier of the brand. If you get a lemon and things go wrong, Somchai in the mall shop may help you, but he may not. Buy from a dealer/store and you have warranty. Never throw away the box it came in - assume it is going to break down and buy with that in mind. Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer seem to be around in Thailand. Pick a model that fits your needs and that they can supply direct (and support). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStar Posted Wednesday at 05:08 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:08 AM (edited) 2 hours ago, TroubleandGrumpy said: you should buy a brand laptop from an approved certified supplier of the brand. Not sure why it has to be a laptop. It appears the OP isn't interested in a laptop anyway. 2 hours ago, TroubleandGrumpy said: Buy from a dealer/store and you have warranty. Quality parts have their own warranties. No warranty lasts forever. Laptop repairs are comparatively expensive, BTW, and may not be worth the cost. Same issue may exist w/ OP's AIO. I'm not a big believer in those. But I'm not averse to the idea of buying a good brand such as Dell, and I preferred one in another thread here to a cheap build. 2 hours ago, TroubleandGrumpy said: Never throw away the box it came in - assume it is going to break down and buy with that in mind. Reminds me of recurring boxes threads on reddit, such as Anyone else keep all their boxes? I'd need a storage room for the parts boxes I've unpacked over the years, however. JIB uses nice, sturdy, handsome boxes, BTW. I've repurposed one to hold a bunch of cables. Edited Wednesday at 05:37 AM by BigStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
