Has anyone had any experiences buying stuff from this well known and much advertised internet shop

http://www.rozetka.ua/

The prices seem to be cheaper than the shops, they come to your home with the goods.

I bought a mobile last year from another internet shop and was very satisfied.

For the record I am looking for a new notebook, dont want to spend more than $800. Are there any techies out there who can advise me of the best ones in this category, I am not a gamer and use it mainlyfor internet, skype, music etc.

Does anyone own an ASUS? They seem to be good value but know little about them!

ASUS is a good choice, it is more professional stuff. Acer is ok too, specially for home use.

I have very good experience with ASUS but pay attention to the type of a screen surface they use on some models. It looks like a mirror and it could be tricky to get the right monitor position in the bright room. Some users prefer traditional dark screens.

Don't know about the rozetka.ua shop. I used matrix.ua before.

My advise - get the notebook in the shop. Try before buy. Gigabyte and City.com are to start with. If you make a model choice, drop me a word and I'll try to find the better deal in Kyiv.

BTW, a good search tool is HotLine - http://www.hotline.ua/gd/12/859

Many thanks Admin!

I will probably decide on the exact model in the next few weeks so will give you a shout.

I must admit I am tempted by ASUS though
