Best place in Bogota for laptops

webmanco says on Oct 20, 2008, 17:37:

Better to buy in USA, also ask her wether she wants the spanish keyboard.

Nowdays the furor on laptops is the mini laptop from ACER, notebook size.

Unilago in 75 with 15 (nearish to zona rosa) has many many shops that deal with computers.

Investment Strategy - buying when others are crying!! Offloading when others are gloating!!!

Are the minis cheaper in the US? I saw that ACER for 350 in miami...I cautiously asked in Bogota how much was a mini and I got a 3 million and 6 miilion quote..is that how much they go for here?

Thanks all.... I live in Canada and to get any info on this item is damn near impossible. I won't be in Colombia until Dec 22 and I think that a purchase of this nature is probably more expensive than if purchased elsewhere. My flight down does not connect in US. Vancouver to Toronto to Bogota. Anyways... thanks for your input!

Laptops - even pink ones - are WAY cheaper in Canada than in Colombia. Do your shopping at home, no stress, good warranty (no grey market crap) and relax when you get to Colombia at Christmas.

Cheers,
Terry

The only laptop models I've seen lately that were pink are in the Sony VAIO lineup. They have a few that are part of the whole Pink breast cancer awareness product hype that is so prevalent in the US these days. I'm not sure if you can get those in Colombia. They also have a model in their VAIO CR Series lineup that comes in pink.

I would not recommend buying a VAIO laptop as their build quality is not particularly good. You might do better getting a decent laptop and slapping a colored skin on it or getting a pink case/sleeve.

If your stepdaughter absolutely must have a pink laptop, you can try this expensive CR model for about $3.000.000 COP

You can buy it online in Colombia here...

terry,
i was just in Unilago,here in bogota ,i did ask around for a pink one ,no one had one ,so if you come here on the 22nd ,you may not find one in time for your girls xmas ,i think it would be best to buy it there to be sure you have it.

Terry,

Why go through all the headache, just use Skin it.

http://www.skinit.com/

Example:
http://www.skinit.com/skins/styleskins/skin_industries_female&resourceId=4750

http://www.skinit.com/skins/styleskins/solids&resourceId=217

Get a good price on a computer and then have your girl order what she wants. She should be able to do it on line.

Good luck,

Seen the pink Sony VAIO today in Unilago. Also saw it in Cafam Floresta and I imagine they're everywhere. I forgot the price but I think it was about 2 million. Oh yeah and the mini acer does cost 1,100 in Unilago. Thats still more expensive than 350 buks in US.

terry,this should help you make your mind up ,hope it is what you need,
the frist one is the one they do in 4 colors ,but the pink to me just looks like an off white ,not a lot of diff with the white and pink ,the price you can see ,














the next one terry ,not sure you want it ,but it is a nice one ,and comes with all the bits to match and a really nice carry case ,
its 2,000,100, so cheaper than the other .









ok thats it ,as i said ,if you want i dont mind buying it so you know you have it ,or i could just put a deposit so its in the shop for you .best i could do ,hope it helps.

WOW..... thanks ujay! You went to a lot of trouble and I appreciate it. Seems these puters are priced a lot higher in Colombia. 2.79 million pesos is about 1600.00 CAD. I appreciate your offer but my wife lives in Bogota and if I decide to get this one I'll have her go to the Cafam Florsta.

Thanks again!

Good Luck.
