Would it be best to buy a laptop in Pattaya (Tukcom) or Bangkok, and if in Bangkok where? I was thinking maybe Bangkok, more sellers, more stock, more bargains. I did an AI search and the AI results are telling me Fortune Town Rama 9 and MBK. I've been to MBK a few years ago and all they pretty much had was phones.
Thanks in advance all.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers around where to best purchase a laptop in Thailand, comparing Pattaya and Bangkok. Many users recommend Bangkok for its selection, highlighting Fortune Town Rama 9 for its many vendors and good deals. Other suggested locations include MBK Center, Emporium, and stores like Banana IT and JIB. Some users advise checking online prices first and suggest shopping at reliable stores for warranty and service options.
Most Windows laptops are only available with Thai and English keyboard. This makes the keyboard look cramped and lowers resale value (out of Thailand).
Checked some markets for a Pc and went eventually to an Advise store and got the parts there. The markets I found had nothing good choice and you never know what you really get.
Fortune Town has lots of vendors all in one place, main brands and independent. Just make sure to look at the box it comes in so that it is new and genuine. I got a great deal on an Asus there. There are also plenty of stores in the main malls, Emporium has a big computer area with lots of brands, Central World has several flagship stores.
