Cheap Pcs

[endure]

For anyone looking for a simple PC for surfing, emailing etc just seen an Atom based Emachine (1GB, 160GB, DOS operating system, base unit only) for 6000bt in Central Kad Suan Kaew.

Do you know the motherboard manufacturer / model ?

It probably says pirated from China and for about 20K more you can get a PC that wont give you a head ache.

Almost all PC products in the world are now made in China or Asia. That's why I asked about the manufacturer!

That's just fine if you can live with the overall size and feel of the keyboard and screen. I'd go for it. If you can add another 1 Gb of memory (total 2Gb) then do that, it won't add much to the price.

Then you can do two things:

1. Stay legal and get them to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix (specifically for small screens / 'Netbook' type compters)

2. Ask them to load Windows 7. (Or buy Windows 7, even)

The machine for sale in Central doesn't have a screen included in the price so you choose one to suit. It has to be pointed out that it's only got an Intel Atom cpu so it's basically a desktop version of a netbook. Still pretty good for light work.

I believe the OP said Base unit only. i.e. No screen/keyboard/mouse. - missed endures post. Sorry.

Looks fine for the price, dare I say, a bargain? Perhaps.

Or you could just buy my brand new Benq r47 laptop that I'm selling soon because I've run into financial hardship

Sorry for the self promoting

You can get a higher spec second-hand full set (keyboard, mouse, monitor) at Icon Square for about the same price as that e-Machine. From the front entrance, the shop I'd recommend is in the back right-hand corner by the snack stand. They'll also service it for you free of charge, as long as you didn't do something like drop it off your balcony or run a screwdriver across the motherboard with power applied.

I think I'm allowed to post this here - if not, someone please correct me - but I have a new laptop I'm trying to get rid of.

It's an Acer Aspire One ZG5 Netbook, pre-installed with Windows XP and Microsoft Word 2007. I bought it refurbished at CompUSA in Miami for $230 just about 5 months ago for my girlfriend for a project she was working on. She ended up having to upgrade to something bigger for graphics editing, and I was going to sell it when we got back to the States (if we ever get back to the States), but I reckon I could also sell it here and save some space.

I've attached two pictures below so you can see the model. He's a tiny little guy, just under 10 inches wide, built specifically for surfing and word processing; as such, no CD/DVD drive, but it does have one USB port, a card reader, ethernet port, and a serial port. 1.60GHz, 1 Gb of RAM, 120 Gig hard drive. Quick and clean, so small it can fit in a lady's handbag.

Anyway, if anyone's interested, drop me a line.
