Best Place For High Quality Apple Service...

[webworldly]

Hi! :-)

I see several references to both good and bad experiences with Apple dealers throughout Bangkok. I'm hoping to collate them here in this topic.....which asks the question:

Where is the best place...in terms of presale help with specs and questions and after the sale for service and general help....for someone who will be buying their first MacBook Pro or iMac?

CHEERS!

There are reports online that suggest you avoid the Discovery Center APPLE Store. Rude service, selling used as new.....

I use the shop in Fortune Mall.

Ive been looking at buying my first Mac, ( iMac ) but now decided to wait until the current problems have been sorted out

seen here ... http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110 ( scroll down to ... Freezing iMac ) 37,000 Views !!

One of my concerns is about the Apple backup service here in Thailand, with a PC you can normally find some sort

of help quiet quickly, but with an Apple product its not quiet as simple ..? ( or is it ) so being able to get some sort

of decent Apple backup is crucial. I would like to hear other Apple Users views on this subject .. and as webworldly say's

Where is the best place...in terms of presale help with specs and questions and after the sale for service and general help....for someone who will be buying their first MacBook Pro or iMac?

any Apple users out there ......???

I like the shop int Fortune Town. The owner speaks perfect English. Theres another mac store in there that i hate! A quick trip into the two shops will tell you which one im talking about.

While there is a very valid point regarding aftersales and whatnot, with a mac, you have much less need for it. I use both as they both have their benefits, but my PC's are much more maintenence intensive. Ive had a cheapo iBook for 3 years and it hasnt needed ANY miantenence. Im afraid i cant say the same for any of the PC's ive owned over the years

Hey Moonfruit (or anyone else who knows).....just so I don't go to the "wrong one" in Fortune Town....can you describe a bit the location within the mall of the "good store"? What other shops is it near?

CHEERS!
