Numerous IT city malls in Bkk.

try Fortune Town - PhraRahm9 / Rachadapisek

Zeer Rungsit - north of the old (Dorn Meuang) airport on Viphawadi Road.

or any Data IT outlet - always have a good range of notebooks and the chain has been around for along time so warranties are not so much of a problem. link to website.

Cheers. :o

I don't think that a link to a compan's website is a great deal of use if it, the website, is only in Thai--or is there a language icon to change it to English??

Edit.

OOoops---just entered the site and hey presto some of it is in English--so, apologies, my bad.

I would say Fortune Town Tower, good selection, and prices seem to be pretty good compared to every where else. I would also consider Pantip if you have time to go to both places.

I bought one in Fortune . Came with an ilicit copy of windows, but I don't know if that's the norm.

There are loads of laptops on sale there.

Pantip is much bigger, but I like Fortune better.

Thanks for all the info, The bus I am going to take goes to the Ekamai bus station, I don't know Bangkok well. so could I take the sky train from in front of the Ekamai bus station and get to the Fortune Tower Building ..? if not what's the best way to get to Fortune Tower ?

Thanks

Can do, skytrain next to ekkamai bus station to Asoke. Change to the underground and take it to Rama 9 station, Fortune town is there.

Depends on the time of day! :o

should be between 50 and 60 baht

Assuming he means during the open hours of Fortune Town :D and for argument sake let's say late morning on a saturday, a taxi will cost you exactly 78 baht, 50 satang. I have allowed an extra 8 baht for the invetable (sp) parking lot situation as one approached Emporium - if it is the last weekend of the month, add another 8 baht to compensate for all the girls going to get their hair done before eating Japanese food in the foodcourt.

Specially now where they have some "Promotional Sale" going!

Pantip ALL under ONE Roof, the shop on the top floor (don't know it's name) has some outstanding deals!

For laptops, decide on a model in the less stressful environment of Fortune IT. Prices are pretty good there too.

Then if you can be bothered, go to pantip to try and save a couple of hundred baht or extort a free mousepad from one of the hundreds of shops selling the same stuff.

Building desktops, pantip.
