Thank you for the information
It's also possible to forgot something essential. In such case, it's okay
if it's not the best price but convenient is good

I hope that I won't need anything, but
it's happened before when traveling
that I need to replace some part of my laptop (e.g. the power cord) or need
a computer-related item. When that happens, it's not fun to search around
in an unfamiliar city for a good shop to buy computer parts.
Can someone with local knowledge, please suggest a place or two that would
be a good, reputable place to buy such items in Buenos Aires? (e.g.
<http://www.vobis.com/>http://www.vobis.com/ which is in Berlin, or
<http://www.jr.com/>http://www.jr.com/ in NYC) I would like to write
<http://wikiatic.com/wikisearch/search?q=write%20>this information down
on paper, just in case.

Relatively next to the Wikimania hub is Galería Jardín, a sort of megamall
with tons of computing shops (Florida 537,

It has not the very best prices in town but it is fairly acceptable and
you'll find almost guaranteed supply.
From CCGSM, you can go there by foot (~10 blocks) or by metro (from line B
from Uruguay station to Florida station, ~5 minutes).
