It's a different world. A
third world, actually, and one
that doesn't come with the Tech
Channel where all the latest
internet and computer tips and
tricks are easily learned.
For your convenience, we've
compiled a few helpful tips for
computer savvy individuals in
the Puerto Vallarta area.
Shopping
for computers in Puerto Vallarta: Computers and
software are significantly more
expensive in Puerto Vallarta.
A laptop that is $1,000 USD in
Minnesota, is easily $1,500 in
PV- even at Walmart. Sam's
club is a bit better, but not by
much. It's best to make
your computer purchases outside
of Mexico, or travel to
Guadalajara for better prices.
Shopping for Computer
Accessories in Puerto Vallarta:
Finding hardware,
replacement pieces, and computer
accessories can be
risky but is sometimes possible.
Your best chances is through a
well established computer repair
shop. There are several
near Gold's gym in Puerto
Vallarta's hotel zone.
Another option is through local
classified ads and the mano o
mano, a local publication with
an english section located in
the back.
DVD's and XBox/Playstation
Games: While this isn't
exactly computer related, it's
common practice to purchase the
pirated DVD's that are sold
religiously throughout Puerto
Vallarta and especially in
Pitillal so I will include some
information on this as well.
These are cheap- about 30 pesos
(50 pesos if you're wearing a
fanny pack and scream TOURIST!)
but beware- 1 out of 3 are
completely worthless.
Nevermind the poor quality,
(filmed in a movie theater,
people walking past the screen
and others spouting "shhhhhhh!"
throughout the film) but often
they just plain don't work.
Either they were burned bad, or
the wrong cd was used. If
you do buy: Your best bet
is to find a seller that has a
dvd player or XBox
set up to check the disc before
you purchase.
