Buying a (specific) computer in CM?

[lj cm]

JIB is fine, they are a big local chain and wont go out of business if you have any issue with the machine. Prices are reasonable.

I also like JIB and before going to the shop, you can check on their website, what you are interested in (and the prices).

What they don't have in the shop, they get in 2 days from BKK.

This. their cheapest standalone PC would probably do you.

Just get a wifi USB and copy of Windoze put on, and you're good to go.

This Micro-PC has Win 8.1 installed already, but only VGA, no HDMI.

^ what are the differences between a Micro-Computer and proper size PC?

[LivinLOS]

Size, expansion ability, ability to use 'standard' PC components to upgrade..

You can buy entire Win10 compatible PC's on a thumb stick these days, which you just plug into the displays HDMI port.

If you're going to trust a shop to specify components for a custom build, I would double check the PSU and motherboard they use. They have a tendency to fit cheap underrated generic Chinese PSUs, and motherboards that impose serious limitations on future upgrades and possibly current data transfer speeds too. At least, this has been my experience in Chiang Mai.

Without wanting to sound like the moaning expat.. Isnt that just everything in Thailand (asia).

Anything not explicitly detailed will be shortchanged and undercut, its not even like its considered wrong to do it, more like its the buyers fault for not setting the terms.
