Where can I buy Macs/Macbooks in Doha

Hi All

What's the best place to buy Macs in Doha in terms of prices, service etc. Jarir used to sell them but don't anymore. Is there only one dealer/distributor or several.

If anybody has any stories to share (+ve or _ve) about a particular store, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

ooops Apple ....Surprised Should say Virgin Book Store doh ! Silly me ... what am I thinking?

 

freeyourmind said Virgin Megastore! ...

We seem to have something else on our minds!

I haven't seen the Macs at Virgin recently but it's a good place to start. I have a feeling other stores are selling them too but not sure which ones. The Apple site was not very helpful.

 

Qatman - I was referrring to the laptops by Apple which are called Macbooks not books about Macs.

 

Thanks

Last time you checked, How much the cost of Macbooks in Qatar?

freeyourmind said Macbook prices ...

The low end Macbooks are between QR 5-6K and the higher end ones are upwards of QR 10K.

How silly of me, To think of it as Mac books and not MacBook.

Well, Almana at Rayyan Road is the local authorized seller in Qatar. Besides this you will find them in Modern Home in city center and at Virgin Store like N77 suggested.

The Macbooks here have an bilingual Key boards ( Arabic/English). They are over priced here.  


 

Arthemis said Giant store ...

Giant Store are also selling mac, there's a sale now on macbook for QR 3999, i think it's only 80GB. For personal use i think that would be enough, but if you're planning to use it for graphics I suggest you buy the macbook pro.

 

Office 1 and PC 1 in Salwa sell macs aswell. I think cheaper than VIRGIN MEGA STORE

They got them in PCOne(Salwa Road), In Royal Plaza, in Landmark(new), in Modern Home(next to Jarir) and Virgin Megastore in Villagio.

 

dramchi said Mac in Doha ...

Al Mana & Partners and Virgin at Villagio mall are the other places to buy.

 

You can call Mr Sahid on 552 0906. He sells and maintains. Prices are better than any ones in Doha. I and many others have bought from him.

postmodernman said apple / mac store ...

in the landmark mall, one of the kiosks in the walkways sells a broad range of apple products, from computers to ipods to tvs.

 

torc said Apple Station at Royal ...

Apple Station at Royal Plaza...they are the cheapest

 

whoami's picture

whoami said that number given by Kejri ...

that number given by Kejri 4494749 is NOT Apple by the way.

 

/-a-t-/Qatman, Qatar's Apple prices are sadly only a bit cheaper than the UK.

 

America still gets the cheapest :(

I believe the best Apple shop in Doha is the newest in City Center - iSpot! Its the first ever APPLE PREMIUM RESELLER in Qatar.

NOTE: AND BY THE WAY, BEFORE ANYONE SAYS THIS MAC IN THIS SHOP IS CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER, CHECK OUT THE SPECS FIRST. Just a friendly reminder from an Apple freak like me! =) BEFORE YOU CHECK THE SHOPS, CHECK OUT http://www.apple.com FIRST TO KNOW THE CURRENT/LATEST SPECS.

Hey, Apple/Mac lovers! Lets meet! ;)

rachela said Related question about iPhone ...

I know there are LOTs of sellers posting about unlocked iPhones. How to know who is reputable? I'd like to buy one but really don't know where to start.

By the way, I am also a mac user (macbook). I didn't need Arabic, so I bought it in the US and had it sent to me via Aramex. Much better deal that way...

 

fai077 said mallrat ...

Wht type of adjustments and testing?
Wht u wanna do with tht?
wht type of help do u need?

Have A Great Day.....
