Thaidude Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Any suggestions on which is the best laptop to buy(Windows) in Thailand? Please no Apple products as I need Windows specifically. My main criteria is thin laptop. Currently i use macbook air so i am kinda used to that weight. I dont do gaming at all so no preference for graphics card I do a lot of multitasking so yea higher RAM Oh yes battery life should be fantastic. I hate to charge the laptop back from dead. Currently my 2012 macbook air is giving me 3 hours only which sucks 13 inch is perfect for me Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie69 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 You can install Windows on Mac hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie69 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Windows laptops similar to MacBook Air are Dell XPS 13 , HP Spectre 13 , Asus Zenbook, and if you have the money and want the full windows experience then of course the Microsoft SurfaceBook. I'm sure others can provide more suggestions Edited July 14, 2016 by Aussie69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidude Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 i am looking for a windows dedicated machine. I do know about booting with windows on Mac but not interested due to various reason Can you list the prices as well as I am not sure how to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 your requirements are conflicting: - small laptops don't come with large RAM, 13" are equipped at most with 8 GB - the small & slim size also impacts battery life negatively best for battery life would be a lenovo thinkpad, but it's not slim your best bet could be a microsoft surface book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidude Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 8 GB is perfect for me. A battery life of 6 to 8 hours would be great. 12 hours would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think the closest to your requirements would be Lenovo X1 Carbon. Here are the specs from the Lenovo US page: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/ I can't read Thai, but is seems that the new X1 models (Gen4) are not available in Thailand yet: http://shopap.lenovo.com/th/th/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/ I don't know how it compares to the Macbook Air size wise, but it certainly has all the specs that you require.

gandalf12 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I have had several Acer laptops and never had a problem with them. The NVitro if you can get it is very good. 250Gb SSD + 1Tb HDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manarak Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 8 GB is perfect for me. A battery life of 6 to 8 hours would be great. 12 hours would be awesome check out the sites of invade IT and lazada - they have product selectors - input 8GB and 13" screen size and choose any ASUS, Microsoft, HP, DELL, Toshiba or Lenovo that suits your needs.

yimlitnoy Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I like the Dell xps-13, the best on the market right now if you can afford it... 3 years warranty. I almost sold my car to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Just bought a Lenovo L440 14 in. ThinkPad. I am impressed so far and i thought it was a great deal for the price i5 4210M 2.6 GHz, 8 GB ram, 1 TB hard drive. Very solid machine for 14,990 (IT City) or 13,990 (Lazada).

The surface runs on Windows 10 now and a lot of those issues no longer exist. I owned a surface pro 3 an loved it. It was one of the best laptop/tablet I have ever owned.The only reason I got a new laptop was because my job changed an I needed something with more performance. I'm an electronics engineer and I basically needed the fastest laptop available (engineering work). My main gripe with the surface is the price (not that a mac is any better). The price to performance isn't that good. But the build quality and form factor is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaimacky Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Was looking for similar notebook myself. Absolutely best deals i could find in Thailand are two promotions on headdaddy com: Asus Zenbook 13" UX305UA-FB004T and UX305UA-FC002T - both top models with 8gb ram and compared to western countries they come at a very low price. On amazon there are 13" zenbooks that come with 20gb ram already but not available in Thailand, yet. Dell XPS would be nice, too. They are available with 16gb ram but are quite expensive - in Thailand even more than in other countries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the early Surface RT devices with ARM processors were horrible, then load 8.0 on top and the package was a disaster. Next gen they moved to Intel Haswell, an improvement, but still hidden under that aweful 8.1 OS Surface Pro 4 with Win10 is a whole new ball game, much improvement - but they released SurfaceBook atv the same time, it is the prefered option in my opinion.
