Trevor Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 For the latest duo-core 14”/15” notebook I want to buy the latest spec in Europe as Thailand lags behind several months. Apart from the expensive high street chains, which charge you 8 pence per minute just for sales enquiries (!!!), where can I find a good range of new notebooks? Any brand you can recommend, particularly in regard to having a reliable DVD-RW? I live in Cambridge / London. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraktalkid Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 www.dabs.com www.savastore.com www.scan.co.uk or if you want to buy from a retailer, check prices and specs online and then head to Tottenham Court Road and negotiate a price (this is what I did for my latest laptop). :-) Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Do you really HAVE to buy in the UK?? Remember a piece of equipment costing $123 will be priced at 123 quid in the UK, almost twice as much. A side trip to Singapore or Hongkong may save you a lot of money.

A side trip to Singapore or Hongkong may save you a lot of money. Singapore could be a stopover enroute, but it's expensive to visit. Do you know anyone who has purchased a bargain there recently? I thought Thai prices were pretty close these days. Thanks to all respondents for helpful replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
