Palatkik Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 To late a reply for your Pantip day, but yes IrDA is an Infrared port. A few shops selling, the one I saw priced at 50kB was at AM Computer, the small latop shop run by an Indian near the 3rd floor down escalator.

whosyourdaddy Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Dont think the 900B version is a pirate but an OEM version. You dont get the disk but it is legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BelgianBoy Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 then again there is the old joke When is the best time to buy a pc ? Tomorrow Ultra, yep, I can perfectly relate to that....... I have been visiting shops since 6 months in anticipation of buying a new laptop by the end of this year...... since I started I have changed my mind as new models pop up every month...... BTW, what kind of screen do you have ? 14-15-16" ? Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 I would highly recommend to compare the prices in Thailand with your prices at home. High end laptops are normally more expensive in BKK then in Germany. Don't know why ! So i bought my ACER 803 Travelmate in Berlin and i'm quite happy with it. It has 2 years world wide warranty.

Peter, I'm looking to buy one as well, but hesitating as would really like a thai keyboard...... What size screen did you buy ? My eyes - and definitely my neck - are killing me on too much computer time, hence a large screen is a must ! What would you recommend for a 16" screen here in Europe, including aal options you bought ? Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 I bought a Satellite 1130-Z31 with a 15" display. As far as I remember, the Sony notebooks have a very good display (one of the best I have seen so far, but the warranty is 1 year only and they were EUR 200 more almost the same components). So, when a good display is important for you, I recommend taking a closer look at the Sony. I am sure, they will have a model with a big display too. Btw, besides this, you always have the option to connect a second Monitor (big, external one). Nice hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianBoy Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 Peter, Thanks for the reply..... Basically my need is to have the laptop with me at my place of work, which soon will be 50/50 % here and in BKK, so no external screens As for Sony, yep, seen that one in Pantip, but no sales here in Belgium of laptops......
