More logic. Buy her a tablet. You get a PC of your own.

An I-pad fits nicely between the butt cheeks no doubt? Hence the allusion of "love," for all things Apple.

I think thegent morphed, had a stroke changed his nick and now plays tiddlywinks on a 10 year old game-boy. Boing! Boing! Boing!

....I be considering re-installing "temple run 2" and going back to the void.

Change my nick to Howdy-Doody.

Is he "Seekingasylum"? Or are they long lost cousins?

The great new little iPple he has been waiting for is, errm, shite, a non-upgrade just like every bit of kit at the iPple show yesterday - iPple the NON-innovators...

But, it's cheaper now, still low spec, still over-priced, still useless, still a piece of expensive crud-plated jewelry, but cheaper...

The entry-level Mac mini looks like a smart machine - you don't get a lot of processing power for your money, but it's a quiet, capable computer. That said, its 4GB of RAM could be limiting, and it isn't user-upgradeable, so you really do need low expectations of using it for intensive tasks...; Apple's RAM prices continue to be, shall we say, rather on the steep side.

The low-end option is limited in power, but it's cheaper than ever.

A computer with included software featuring the latest Intel chip etc, 4 Gb RAM and 500 GB HDD for £300 and you say it's expensive!?
You stupid 'king stunt.

When your uncle fucked your mother he must have forgotten to take the vibrator out of her arse when he shot his load, you incoherent, babbling cretin.

Same as happened to Albert?

Existentialist question, perhaps?...

I fail to see your point here...

Are you related to Earl?

^Are you a toned-down thegent?...

I searched for the word 'Vaio' on this thread. Um, does anybody have one? I've seen a few and I want to replace mine (bought at a retail store in the USA). I don't believe there's a store in Chiang Mai that sells them. I went to the Sony retail center at the Airport Plaza and the dummy clerk says you can't buy them in Thailand. That's impossible so how can I get one without going back to the USA. That isn't quite (note the word) as stupid as it sounds. I was in IT for 25 years and I know the USA gets first picks on the newest models and won't let any country get them for a couple of years. I know this for a fact b/c I bought one while I was in Canada and had to have a friend in FL buy it and ship it to me.

Oooo, QC beat me to it. You can buy a Vaio, but it won't be a Sony. I always felt that the Sony PCs were too expensive for their spec, so I never bought one. Sony PCs had a bit of the iApple about them, and are seen wielded by sino-Thais in siam square Starbucks...

Lazada still has one listed but it must be old stock being cleared out from somewhere.

WOW. I came to the right place didn't I? Greens to both, if allowed.

No longer interested in VAIOs. Don't know why I was in the first place, as this would be the third since 2007.

I want the best I can find here: specs first, price second. Definitely want a CD/DVD player. I haven't decided if the large screen laptops are worth the price, so would like opinions on smaller screen laptops and notebooks. Definitely not interested in a desktop. I've found the following offers so far:
lenovo Y5070-N92422156; 39,990 THB
lenovo Y5070-59438317; 30,990
Acer Aspire V-Nitro; 49,900
HP ENVY 15-k034TX; 39,990
Dell Inspiron 14 7000 series--model W560738TH; 33,990 THB

They all look real pretty but I'd tend toward the longer running businesses, for some reason: Dell and HP. Also, please add your own opinions, not just comments on mine.

I was in IT for 25 years and I know the USA gets first picks on the newest models and won't let any country get them for a couple of years

And I know for a fact that that is nonsense.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Or not.

Fair enough.
