monty Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 TukCom, but insist that they install an original windows version. Preferably just buy one yourself (many shops have the original microsoft boxes which includes dvd and holographic license sticker). Then make sure they actually use your dvd to install windows, and they do not load your computer with a lot of crap (viruses, and worse keyloggers etc) coming from their external hard drives. The only things they should use are your windows dvd and the driver dvd's coming with the hardware you bought. For your needs a very basic pc will do, maybe splash a bit extra on a nice screen.

Spoonman Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 For something like that spec I would just buy a cheapie SVOA PC from Tesco or Big C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Watana IT, Central Pattaya Road opposite Foodland is an aut. HP seller/repair shop. Bought my HP desk top PC there 2 years ago, a bit more expensive than Tuk.Com but worth it. Edited May 30, 2013 by guzzi850m2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris2004 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Avoid Tuk.Com..............too many copies to be wary of I think you have to be careful at Tukcom but if you go to one of the main retailers there, like Wattana, they are OK. I noticed yesterday they were selling an i3 Samsung with 4gb ram for 12,900 baht. I bought a Samsung RV418 from Wattana there and it's been great (with copy windows).

xylophone Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 For something like that spec I would just buy a cheapie SVOA PC from Tesco or Big C. Had a couple of bad experiences with SVOA, both times broke down and had to wait two months for repair on one occasion, then it only lasted a week before becoming kaput again. Gave it away and stayed clear since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thats not good to hear, I have purchased a few for various different in-laws and all have performed faultlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Tukcom top floor. Get any laptop with either Linux or windows preinstalled. Will do the trick for what you're up to. Alternatively get a Samsung rabbit. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
