Laptop/Notebook advice for buying in PP
Hi, I'm looking to buy a notebook in PP, just wondering where the best places to look are? My budget is $200-400
Thanks!
Thanks!
At that price it's hard to find a decent new notebook, netbook might be possible. PTC computer next to Psar Thmey has a decent collection.bethhhh_266 wrote:Hi, I'm looking to buy a notebook in PP, just wondering where the best places to look are? My budget is $200-400

Do not go to PTC! Over-priced and horrible service. V-tech is your best bet. http://www.vtech-computer.com

Don't know about V-Tech, and I'll certainly give them a try next time I need something, but I have visited and made purchases at a lot of computer shops in this town and find PTC to be the best of the ones I have gone to, for both price and service. I'm not saying they are particularly good at either in the absolute sense, but they are less bad than anywhere else I have dealt with--especially Anana.

Last time year ago i buy laptop from PTC next to Soriya i get very good service. They have own floor for different brands and girls who demo products know them very well (for my needs). I also think they prices are too high.chkwoot wrote:Do not go to PTC! Over-priced and horrible service.

I like Anana but now sure about their service as I only made small purchases which never broke haha. Bought a laptop at V-Tech, later on I was looking for a specific router so I called them to check it was in stock. They replied they have it, I came and it was not there. They tried to sell me another model. Since that time I couldn't be bothered to come back.
Bought a printer at Anana. It broke one week later--an internal plastic piece literally broke in half. Had the secretary return it. They refused to replace or repair it under warranty, saying we must have broken it, despite there not being a scratch or dent on it. It wasn't expensive enough to make it worth my while to go down and yell at them until they honored the warranty, so we just bought one somewhere else and I have never gone back. Their prices were always horrible, but they were occasionally the only vendor in town for certain models.
That's because you're on a teachers salary and even an abacus will be fast enough to serve your needs....vladimir wrote:V-Tech, Kampuchea Krom
I disagree, Kachang, I think $400 will get you a very reasonable laptop.
Seriously, 400$ will get you a crap laptop made of cheap plastic, with a screen you can only use inside (it becomes useless when any sunshine is present), a hard disk that will seriously limit the speed so your laptop will hardly be able to use the full power of your CPU, a crappy battery that will burn out in 6 months etc etc. But hey, some can live with that.

Prices @ PTC are nothing compared to prices at AnanA. PTC is much cheaper than AnanA and esp. their 'new tower' close to psar thmey has a decent selection, I think over 100 different laptops.raendi wrote:Last time year ago i buy laptop from PTC next to Soriya i get very good service.

But hey, if you want a cheap laptop, and you want max choice, leave for Bangkok. Go to either Panthip or (even cheaper) Rangsit plaza, although the latter is 35K taxi drive out of town.
But the OP requested a place in Cambodia, so....

Oh Christ, now we have laptop snobs.

I was offering info on shops that offer value for money in his price range.
I've had my present laptop for two years, still 3 hours battery life at full usage, video etc. maybe 2.5, only $350
There are so many wankers on here obsessed with constantly pointing out others with less money, obnoxious children, really.
Come on, tell us why you're here, let us guess, Monaco/Paris didn't have the right ambiance?
But you can live with Cambodia, right?

On topic again: you're very lucky with your battery. Ever since I used my laptop in the tropics no battery managed to really 'deliver' (let's say full use for over an hour and a half) after a year of use, unless I kept the battery in the fridge. Do you use/store your laptop in air conditioned conditions?
That quote alone means any advice you have to give on the matter should be thoroughly ignored. Absolute nonsense.Kachang wrote:a hard disk that will seriously limit the speed so your laptop will hardly be able to use the full power of your CPU
$400 laptops are perfect, you'll get far more processing power for your money so long as you can live with crap build quality. I cycle them every 2 years anyway, so I don't care. I've had an Acer running for almost that long now, it's survived a 2 meter drop onto its corner(powered up with the HDD spinning) and had no issues. Battery's still going strong too. Only problem I have had is the crappy screen hinges ended up breaking, spares cost me $20 on eBay, shipped from China, and it took 30 minutes to teardown and repair.
