New Laptop Time

[kin hell]

It seems to be the laptop buying season, Just seen this for sale at 28,000 Bt, not being very up to date with laptops in Thailand

can some one cast their eye over the spec and let me know if it sounds a decent deal, its going to be only used for web surfing / emails .

i would stay away of it, the chipset is really not good and the optional wireless is a frightening offer for a modern laptop.

It's got B/G wireless!

It's the A/B/G or the B/G/N type wireless which is optional!

IMO it's even overkill for a machine solely used for surfing/e-mails, any of the 20,000 to 23,000 Baht machines do that perfectly fine...
