Another question; Why aren't Chromebooks sold in Thailand?

You asked the question on 1st Jun 2018, and was told where to buy one.

Can a Chromebook be purchased in Thailand?

TRUE brand Chromebook appear to be sold through Lazada at a reasonable price. Link below. Lazada also shows a Samsung Chromebook, but the price is 21,000 +. Pete

Thanks Pete.

Looking around more, it seems ACER and LENOVO now sell ChromeBooks here. There's a variety of stores that seem to sell them, but I would start by just looking at the ACER and LENOVO main websites for Thailand.

Edit: UBuy seems to have the largest selection, but I have no idea who "UBuy" is and where the merchandise comes from.

Sorry, one of the perks of getting old is short term memory loss.

Not suggesting you should buy from there, but why not have a look in Banana Electronics at either Blueport or Market Village, at least you’ll see what they have on offer and then see if you can source cheaper elsewhere?

I recently went to Banana in MV with the intention of buying a new laptop and walked out with an Acer all in one monitor for 20k baht. Not being a computer wiz it did take the staff some time to convince me that all the computing gubbins were in the monitor. One of my better buys thus far. Came with handrummers favourite Windows 10 pre installed. and a wireless keyboard and mouse. Set up to go by the staff in 15 minutes.

All of UBuy's computers state that you have to purchase a step-down transformer because they come from the states. I find that strange, because my Dell laptop comes from the states and all I had to do was plug it in to a 3 pin receptacle. Who knows? Anyway, I found a Thai site that sells an Acer 314 for 8,769 BHT.

Anyone want to buy a HP 15" laptop w/Win10, with about 3 months light use, for 9000 BHT. I think they are 15,000 or so, new.

I had a look at Chromebooks in Europe about two weeks ago and those from Acer and Asus look pretty good, I actually went out to buy one but I could only find them in the local stores with those silly French AZERTY keyboards which I find unusable, so I bought a Windows laptop instead.
I haven't had a computer for some years, so didn't really know much about them but I ended up with an Asus Zenbook which I'm pleased with so far. It was more expensive than the Chromebooks that I'd been looking at but I was attracted to the screen quality and the small size when folded.

I'm reading your post on the same machine bought from the same place. Very happy with it as well. I did shop around and did research etc, but, as I said, very happy.

I am typing this on my Acer Chromebook 11 which I love more than any other laptop I have had. I had the experience of asking in several computer dealers about them.They ALL said they were toys good for small children. Nonsense they are very adult the problem is they are CHEAP and the dealers hate that. Mine I got in a Best Buy in Canada, it was on sale for a little over the equiv of 5000B.
