Hi,

I want to buy a new laptop next month for about 35,000B and have been looking at Acers in Bangkok.

Don't need anything amazing, just the best I can get for my money, will be using it for the usual stuff (net, office, photo editing, multi media, etc), nothing too heavy. I haven't really heard any good or bad comments about Acers, anybody here got any experience?

Also, if I act fast I have the option of having a friend pick one up in Tokyo and bring it over, but from the little I have seen online (www.kakaku.com) they don't seem to be much cheaper, and I figure it would be easier just to get one here.

Any advice appreciated. Also any particularly good or bad shops in Panthip, Fortune or Central?

Cheers.

Cheaper to buy here...especially with Japanese OS and Japanese keyboard (off the shelf stock) usually have to order in Japan for English keyboard.

Acer...well not bad not great. For that sort of budget I would take ASUS over ACER.

there will be a new macbook coming out very soon, which is why apple retailers in bangkok are clearing stock now:

just bought a 2.1 intel core 2 duo macbook for 35,500 including tax and vat at siam paragon/central world plaza

edit: usually they will go even a tad cheaper at panthip, but i prefer the service at istudio ...
