Laptop/notebook

[JohnC]

Hi Guys, I am coming back again in May next year to settle down, my problem is my current PC is on its last legs and not worth exporting. I can get a new Notebook here in UK for £399 (around 26,334baht) The spec is Acer Aspire

Sempron 3000+ Processor

256MB DDR333 RAM

(upgradeable to 2GB using dual soDIMM modules)

40GB HDD ATA/100 Hard Disk Drive

DVD-Dual Double Layer drive

15.0" XGA TFT LCD with 1024x768 pixel resolution

16.7 million colours

Audio system with two built-in speakers

Built-in microphone

56Kbps ITU V.92 data/fax software modem with international PTT certification;

Wake-on-Ring ready

10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet; Wake-on-LAN ready

Can I better this for the same price in Pattaya or should I buy it here and bring it with me? Any advice appreciated.

Have a look here it does not have the exact same specifications be close

The prices differ from shop to shop so some wandering will save you some baht

Thanks for that, had a look, just as cheap to buy here and preload all my settings and files from old PC and bring it with me.

buy in england

but upgrade the ram to 512 or maybe 1 gig

see about an 80 gig hard drive

and maybe make it a DVD writer

Thanks guys, yup looks like buying it here is the best option. The one I have mentioned above has a DVD Dual Layer +- RW and is upgradeable to 2GB ram .

I have had this PC for 4 years with a 40GB hard drive and only used 7GB so I think the 40GB on the notebook is big enough for my needs. So best I get my order in now! Thanks again, as always the forum comes up trumps!
