saorsa Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Well a quick look at the THAILAND HP website. it is advertised there - so my money is on yes??? You must have thought to check there right??? I did check there, but couldnt find any details on whether the 17" version was available (quite often it takes some time before latest models make it to thailand from what i have found).

Digitalbanana Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I sent HP an email last week about this new laptop and got a reply below (the bottom line is they are correct with their comment "You will expect a response from HP shortly." but I'm still waiting and they never actually promised a reply! Nothing much more to be said about HP Thai service I suppose: >>Dear xxx, >>Thank you for contacting HP Thailand. Your enquiry have been forwarded to Thailand HP representative. You will expect a response from HP shortly. >>For your convenience, below is a copy of the e-mail you submitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I've rung HP Thailand many times trying to find out when they would release various bits of hardware. The people who answer the phone usually can't provide an answer beyond 'look in the brochure' or the famous 'we'll get back to you when it arrives'. Which brings me to annoyance no. 2: The stuff HP advertises in their promotional brochures for Thailand often isn't actually available here, and some of it never, ever arrives. Their website is even more useless than the brochure. It's perpetually out of date and usually bears no relation to what they are actually selling at any given point in time, at least as far as laptops and mobile devices go.

Phil Conners Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Be consequent. Don't buy their products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalbanana Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Saw them on sale in Bangkok malls (HP ENVY 17-1017tx) now at 99,990 THB. A bit of a mark up on prices states side I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdongrb Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 HP products suck... Problem with my HP printer 2 yrs ago...I bought an Epson.... Problems with my HP digital camera last year... I bought a Sony.... And now just two weeks ago my HP Pavilion broke.... I bought a PC that I configured myself... I vow to never buy another HP product ever again.......and to think, I used to work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Had an HP laptop before. It conked up on the day the warranty expired. Now with Acer, they give three year warranties and that is the time you a) write off such investment/asset and evolution has come up with significant amendments.

negreanu Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Would have to say the new 17" Macbook Pro is a option (Better?) 2.3ghz Quad Core i7 with turbo boost to 3.4Ghz, AMD 6750 1GB DDR5 graphics card. Much better quality screen than the HP and the Asus when you see them side by side and the price is substantially cheaper than 99,999THB, 83000THB delivered free and import duty free from store.apple.com/th-k12. Remember even if you dont want to run Mac OS X you can just install windows 7 and not have mac os x installed at all. The design and weight is much better than the HP and the Asus if you ask me.

Digitalbanana Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I would never pay the 99,999THB HP is asking in Thailand. Purchasing from US via courier the price is cheaper, under 60,000THB all in door to door and cheaper than a MacBook Pro in the US. On tech specs they are fairly even.

cwldanny Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I was looking to purchase an Envy when it came out around Mid last year. HP Staff in Bangkok didn't really have a single clue. I eventually flew down to Singapore and picked up An Envy 15 (I7) for about 68,000 Baht or 2800 SGD and carried it back after hearing so many stories about how the import tax in THailand will kill you.
