Where to buy a chromebook or tablet with keyboard?

Post by guybrush »

Hey, does anybody know anywhere you can buy new chromebooks or 2in1 laptop/tablets? I couldn't find much in Kampot except for some Samsung tablets and a Huawei tablet with a keyboard which didn't interest me. I don't mind making a trip to PP if they have more stuff. ubuy.com.kh have a big range, but the shipping and customs costs are a bit mad. I'm looking for something like the Lenovo Duet with a removable keyboard for reading, writing and traveling.

Cheers :beer3:

These tend to have one of the biggest ranges of computing devices in Phnom Penh. Used to be called Chantra computers but recently changed to CC Computers. I'be bought several things from them. Never had an issue. Reasonable prices too (for Cambodia, not when comparing to international prices, but no-where is)

http://cccomputerkh.com/

There's also BeckieDeal which are pretty reputable but can be a little pricier than the former sometimes.

None of the websites have a particularly good 'search' function. Just wait for the page to load fully and do a 'search within page' search (ctrl / cmd + f ) if on a windows or mac.

That stock list is suspiciously big. Even my local PC World warehouse in England only carries a fraction of the lineup on that site. Do they really have all that in stock?

Yes but they keep most of it in a big warehouse. If you want something you should let them know an hour or two ahead of time as it needs to be taken from the warehouse to the store. They may even ask for a small deposit just so they know you're not wasting their time. I once ordered a replacement charger for a laptop but despite them assuring me it was a genuine charger and not a copy, when it came I could see it was a copy so they gave me my deposit back no hassles. I don't think they were deliberately trying to rip me off. I think the sales guy genuinely didn't know - the price was low enough to have raised suspicions which was why I asked in the first place.

Thanks for the links. I got the Lenovo idea from the CC Computer website but wasn't sure if it was legit or not. All their stuff is new, right? BeckieDeal's website is close to unusable in my browser, which is pretty annoying.

You're joking right?
Most of the floors are only filled for 50-60%, the staff have no clue and none of the models on display are plugged in.
Last time I bought a machine there must have been eight years ago and CC payment didn't work at the time. Had to go to Canadia bank around the corner.
Only go there if you know exactly what you want based on your own research and they have a (rare) model you love / need or they have a special promotion (which is very rare IMHO)

dude, a lot of things change in 8 years, staff was already noted to only look good but the merc. is there at fair prices, the place is like this town's version of the Wan Chai Computer Centre in HK without the crowds and dirt in present days...
