Many people want to know the prices of laptops before they hit the stores to have a clear idea on what to buy. So I thought it would be of good use if I post about the prices of laptops in Dubai. I had scanned the price list that the shop had. These are the latest December 2006 prices. I’ll update this post with the price list of another shop if there’s any difference in the price.
Here is the prices of various models of Notebooks / Laptops in Dubai. The list has the 106 models with the model number, specifications, Brand and the price. The brands include Acer, Asus, HP / Compaq, Dell, LG, Fujitsu Siemens, IBM / Lenovo, Panasonic, Packard Bell and Toshiba.
For your reference and checking in your local price:
1 Dollar –> 3.5 Dirhams Approx.
1 Dirhams –> 11.10 Rupees Approx.
During some sale or if you know any person, then you might get 5% (upto 10% if you’re lucky) discounts.
Do let me know about these prices with respect to the rates at your place.

Hello Ashwin
I was just trying to get some info on prices of laptops in dubai. I have already decided on the model (dell inspiron 9400 with 2 gb ram 667mhz, core 2 duo processor of 667 mhz and nvidia 7900 gs gpu). Thx to u I tot I was able to finally check some prices but my goddamn workplace has blocked ur snap for whatever reason. could you please be kind enough to email me this scanned attachment to my mail id? or better yet, just let me know what might be the price of this config in dirhams? thx a bunch in advance!
^^
Hi arun,
The Inspiron 9400 is there but not the config that you asked. 1 GB RAM model is only there with your required specifications for Dhs 6400 (+/- 5%).
Why buy that man? Asus G1 is costing $1800 for a better config that 9400.
Hey Ashwin,
Really useful information. I was searching for this for a long time.Thanks alot!
HI Ashwin….could you plz help me out to find out the price of an amd turion x2 64bits tl64 with 17inch screen in dubai….the brand does not matter as long as it has a proper configuration with a good graphics. thanx.
rikesh -
No problem man. I’ll let to know within a week. Watch this space out.
hi i hear laptops in dubai are immitations of the original.is that true?

No. It also depends on where you buy. It’s 100% safe to buy electronics in Dubai.
Good morning,
I am writing from Nigeria. I would like to know how much it would cost me to buy a good dell inspiron or HP pavillion laptop in dubai with 512 and above, 40gb and above,etc. I would also like to get your advise on which brand is best among Dell, HP,Acer and Sony.
Thanks
Anny,
Sony is expensive. You did not mention what screen size you want. But a 14/15″ Sony will start from Dhs 5k (not sure).
Among the rest, HP is little expensive. You can go for Toshiba. The config you said should not cost you more than Dhs 3.5k.
If you don’t care abt the money, then go for Sony.
me gona buy laptop around this month if any 1 can update me with d price list of now of HP Pavilion dv9500t series it will be realy helpfull…i say in india i will be commin dubai by 25 oct it will be realy help full if any of u provide me with d list of hp or any other brand…my prise range is around 4k to 5k
Ashwin C -
I won’t think I can help you, sorry. I’m leaving Dubai tomorrow - but I’ll try to get a quote if possible.

abdulrasheed -
It would be around 10% cheaper than what I’ve posted here. You would get extra things like USB drive, carry case, mp3 player, etc.. but not reduction in prices. That’s what I’ve noticed.
dear aswin,
i am visiting dubai in dec 07.want to buy a laptop in the price range of 40 - 50 thousand indian rupees.please advise me on shops to visit and brands to look for
sreenivas -
Don’t look beyond Toshiba, it’s a good brand for PCs within your budget.
Where to buy? I’ll prefer to buy in: Al Ain Plaza, Bur Dubai.
Go to the mall, take the escalator and enter the shop just in front of you. That’s a trusted shop and I’ve bought many electronics things there.

Get the Dell Inspiron 6400. It’s just Dhs 3k in Dubai, should be even less by this point of time.
sorry to say but 3000dhrs ıs stıll xpensıve for me for now because am just a student, do you have any other idea which you could help me wıth, i live at north cyprus
Hmm.. then go for some AMD processor models. I saw a compaq system for around Dhs 2.5k. Anyways branded models don’t go anything less than Dhs 2.2 k.
AMD is okey for now, am not lookıng for some fancy stuff you know, how about un-branded models?
how about MSİ laptops?
I’ve no idea about MSi models. I guess that you get “Sahara” branded lappy for Dhs 1500 or so. I’m not sure abt the price.
now thats what am talkıing about, gee thanks for all the help but am at north cyprus,how can i make an order? and how much do you think it would cost me for its delivery here? thanks

After much research i have chosen hp dv6700t with configration 2.0 dual core, nvida geforce 8400 Gs 256Mb, and 2GB ram
Me from Pakistan here prices are very high so can any one tell me what whould be the price in dubai for above model.
i wanted to buy from dubai as i had many relatives there can any one suggest some dubai laptop shops website or is there any online website available from dubai
My another question is i have heard many bad things about Windows vista. Its full of bugs very high requires huge hardisk space etc etc.
Will it work ok with 2.0 dual core ,1 gb ram,256 dedicated grafics card.
Zeeshan -
Thanks so much for the info. i will be coming down to dubai in 2 weeks time can you be so kind to send me the Price of the store as you have bought some eletronic from them before , you can also send me there website if possible .
Thanks
Can anyone be so kind to post the latest Laptop price in dubai on here for Us plz?
Zeeshan -
Vista will work fine in that config. Why only 2.0 Ghz? Also is it Core2Duo?
It’ll work with 2.0 dual core ,1 gb ram,256 dedicated grafics card. Maybe the ‘effects’ won’t be top notch but you can manage.

Please goto Dubai and check out the store I suggested. There are many shops and the final prices reflect your negotiation skills.

My problem is i dont want to go, before i know there price ,am consider going to dubai or singapore i want to compare there prices if any one can help me with the dubai price i will be happy

Ashwin
i happicate you ,thanks alot do you have idea of where to buy those laptop or any eletronic in singapre?
Thanks again Ashwin that cleared my doubts
Ya its core 2 duo. Well it will be benifical and helpfull for all of us if any one could tell about some websites of stores in dubai. I am sure they might have as in pakistan every 2nd one has a website where one can check latest price without going to visit them or can any one tell latest price list as i have seen on the top of the blog uplaoded way back in year 06
Well but the reply of the company was heart broking for my as i was thinking that the specifiations i have been discusing well fit in my buget. They told me about
Pavillion dv6735 Core2 Duo T7250 (2.0) 2048 MB 160 G.B. Multi DVD 15.4” WXGA Brite Nvidia Go8400(256 MB) 802.11b/g BlueTooth 5 in 1 1.3 Mega Vista Premium For 3750/-
and my buget is 3200 AED Maximum
I think dubai is not so cheap as from the HP website i configered it was 900$
Can any one help me with this. Can i get above specification with in 900$ or 3200 AED
Here is a website i found of Metro Politan General Trading
(http://www.metro-politan.com/laptop.htm)
But they only tell u specifications not price you can email them about your inquiries about price at shabbir@metro-politan.com
can any one suggest some more
Adebisi -
Sorry, no idea. Never been to Singapore.
Zeeshan -
Why not consider AMD proccy instead of Intel? With the extra money saved, you can buy 2.2/2.4 GHz proccy and 2 GB+ RAM. And HP tends to be costly than Dell. What abt the cost of Toshiba lappies? I prefer good configs than better brands.
Why do you want to waste money on Vista Ultimate? Vista Home Premium is very good enough for our needs.
IMO, get 2.2 Ghz and 2 GB RAM minimum. Gfx card can be compromised unless you want to play games. Proccy speed is important if you want to play HD movies (otherwise anything around 1.8 Ghz is good enough). RAM is good for overall speed of the PC.
Here are some of the websites of the electronic retailers in Dubai:-
http://www.jackys.com/
http://www.jumbocorp.com/
http://www.pluginselectronix.com/
http://www.dell.com (And then select UAE/Middle East)
It’s cheaper to buy in USA than in Dubai.
Good luck. Let me know as what you’ve decided.

Can any one help us with the price rang from dubai?
convert it here http://coinmill.com/SGD_USD.html#SGD=1499
Thanks Ashwin for u r time
I will consider u r advise. Thanks for the retailer websites were u found them? from past one week i had searched almost all search engines but all invain.
For AMD well i haven’t use amd processor. I am bit intel crazy. Is there any performance difference ?
The only problem is gaming card i desprately need one. and with hp it doesn,t fits my budget
And i had quality concerns fro toshiba. My friend has a toshiba Sattelight. He aslo bought it from Dubai. After a month or so his bluetooth died.
My another questions is that i want a realable laptop i will be using it for 2-3 years. Is Toshiba ok on quality and relaibility grounds.
Adebisi -
I’m almost sure that Singapore is a cheaper option than Dubai. If you can buy from S’pore, then go ahead.
Zeeshan -
Yeah those are the major retailers in Dubai. The prices should be 5-15% less than what is indicated in their sites.
In our previous office, we used to buy some 25 lappies every month. We used to buy Dell (coz it seemed VFM) but it gave problems and now they’re buying only Toshiba. My cousins too have Toshiba lappies and theay are all working fine. The most reliable lappies like Apple also might also spring up a defective piece, so don’t base your judgement on a single case.
Regarding AMD-Intel, the performance level won’t be noticed for most normal tasks. If you’ve higher budget, then go for Intel but in life we need to make the best of what we’ve.
A word of caution. Please research well before making your decision. Ask 4-5 people and then go for the kill.
Adebisi-

Dear Adebisi,
I’ve sent the details to your e-mail.
You’re welcome.
Hi Zainab,
Sorry, no idea about Singapore.. I’ll contact you thru e-mail regarding business and prices in Dubai.
Mohannad i have check the company website they are not cheap as what you post and the e-mail address on the company info is diffrent to the one you send me i guess where is a funny thing going on there .. you can also check the website here http://www.comtekdubai.com
dear ashwin,
i am working as a doctor in border security force.
i want to purchase a good laptop . i want to know about the prices in dubai where it will be cheaper .i mean genuine prices. i can get it by sea route which i can get free from costom duty. if u help in this regard it will be fine for me
Adebisi,
1st of all, the goods list i sent u is more updated and cheaper than the website, because they are directly from the warehouse in the free zone.
2nd, the contact person i gave u is not the same as the 1 on the website, because I gave u the Business Development & Warehouse Manager’s contact info, (not the sales dept). U may contact the sales dept if u prefer. However u will note that the telephone and fax numbers i sent u are the same as those on the site. U can use those and u will reach the same person.
Also, as u mentioned u are going to dubai, u will get the opportunity to visit the warehouse facilities yourself if u desire. Jabel Ali is about 35km from Dubai.
Good luck
Mohannad , Thanks i will contact them and get back to you soon i will realy like to have your own contact number maybe you can send it to my mail..
Thanks
Adebisi, u’r welcome.

The MacBook Air is a very divisive design. Either you will love it or you will hate it. Design wise it is a beatuiful system that is extremely small and light. The problem is that it lacks a number of standard laptop features that it is very hard to really recommend it to anyone as their sole system. It is really best used as a business travel system in conjunction with another primary PC.

Apple laptops now use Intel chips, just like PCs; Intel’s newest laptop chips and technology are called Santa Rosa by the media, but marketed as Centrino Duo by Intel and the laptop manufacturers. The business version is called Centrino Pro. The new chips are faster and can have more on-board cache, and they can conserve power. A feature called Intel Turbo Memory enables 512 MB or 1 GB of flash memory, which should speed booting, opening programs and saving documents. The chipset can accommodate up to 4 GB of RAM. For more information on the actual laptop chips, we list some useful guides in the “Best Research” section.
The MacBook Pro — which is Apple’s power-laptop line — has three base configurations (starting at *est. $2,000, $2,500 and $2,800). The two least expensive MacBook Pro laptops have 15.4-inch widescreen displays; the top model has a 17-inch widescreen display. CPU choices are 2.2 or 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors. The graphics card has 128 or 256 MB of video RAM. All models have an 8X SuperDrive DVD burner and FireWire 400 and 800 ports. All have integrated iSight webcams. The displays in the 15-inch models are backlit with LEDs. Apple offers a choice of regular or glossy displays with all MacBook Pros.
The MacBook Pro wows reviewers. Laptop magazine, PC Magazine, CNet.com and NotebookReview.com honor it as an Editor’s Choice. Macworld, TrustedReviews.com and Ars Technica give it high ratings. Ars Technica has the best review of the MacBook Pro laptops. Reviewer Eric Bangeman extensively compares the newest models with their predecessors. Apple takes advantage of the Santa Rosa technology to include an 800 MHz front-side bus on all models and offer up to 4 GB of RAM. The video card has been upgraded, and Bangeman says the battery will last 15 minutes longer (Apple claims 30 to 60 minutes).
Yet, Bangeman and Macworld’s Henry Norr agree that the biggest improvement in the 15.4-inch models is a backlit LED display. That’s not available on the 17-inch model, but the resolution is higher than the previous generation’s screens. According to Nicholas Franklin’s NotebookReview.com review, “LED back-lighting is touted to provide a more evenly lit screen with sharper images and colors without sacrificing battery life. All these I find to be true.” The biggest disadvantage he found is that the MacBook Pro runs a little hot. As the only criticism in a rave review, Computer Shopper confirms the potential for overheating.
Experts say the MacBook Pro laptops are the best Apple laptops for gamers and graphic artists, with the most robust video performance. They also have the best options for upgrading specs, since you can option them with up to 4 GB of RAM (though loading them up with options adds dramatically to price). Few reviewers offer guidance in deciding which MacBook Pro is best. PC Magazine’s Cheng believes either 15-inch model is a better value than the 17-inch MacBook Pro. Macworld’s Norr believes the cheaper 15-inch model offers more for the dollar than paying an extra $500 for the middle model. Ars Technica’s Bangeman appears to lean toward the 17-inch MacBook Pro. All three models have a scrolling touchpad, which allows you to scroll through documents and web pages by sliding a finger on the touchpad. All have a backlit keyboard, integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a dual-link DVI connector (which allows you to connect to external monitors) and an ExpressCard/34 expansion slot. Apple’s full multimedia software bundle is included. However, there are only two USB ports, which reviewers such as Franklin and Cheng agree is inadequate. The 15-inch models weigh 5.4 pounds, versus the 17-inch model’s 6.8 pounds.
The MacBook laptops are less expensive than the MacBook Pro models, yet reviewers also have little to say about choosing between a MacBook and a MacBook Pro. MacLife’s Jennifer Berger pinpoints the best value by saying, “If you can afford to spend an extra $500 to $900, you might seriously consider taking a step up to the MacBook Pro. For that money, you get a bigger, LED-backlit screen in your choice of glossy or matte finish, a less smudgy outer case, dedicated VRAM, twice the RAM, a backlit keyboard and an ExpressCard/34 slot. That’s a lot more Mac for the money.” Ars Technica’s Jonathan Gitlin leans in the other direction. He says, “The MacBooks make a lot of sense. Their performance is closer than ever to the Pro laptops, and with the exception of the black shell and larger hard drive, the middle range MacBook is identical to the range-topper.” The most obvious difference is that the MacBook laptops are much smaller, with 13.3-inch displays compared to 15.4- and 17-inch screens in the MacBook Pro series.
Three MacBook laptops are available. All have a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display and weigh 5.1 pounds. Although the new MacBook Air is even lighter, the MacBook laptops are small enough and light enough to be considered ultra-portables. Few PC laptops weigh as little.
The 2.0 GHz 13-inch white MacBook (starting at *est. $1,100) is the entry-level model. The middle model, the 2.2 GHz 13-inch white MacBook (starting at *est. $1,300) is faster, has a bigger hard drive (120 GB versus 80 GB) and has a DVD burner instead of a CD burner/DVD player. The top MacBook, the 2.2 GHz 13-inch black MacBook (starting at *est. $1,500) , is still $500 cheaper than the MacBook Pro, but the extra $200 only gets you another 40 GB of storage and a black case. All models have Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 5,400 RPM SATA hard drives, 1 GB of shared RAM with integrated video, gigabit Ethernet, wireless networking, Bluetooth 2.0, speakers, a microphone, a webcam, two USB ports, a remote control and entertainment software.
These features indicate that the MacBook is more oriented to entertainment than business. The MacBook doesn’t include a modem, so if you’re a dial-up user, you’ll have to buy a USB modem if you don’t already have one. The display is smaller than what you’ll find on comparably priced PCs, yet reviewers think the MacBook is reasonably priced. The AppleCare Protection Plan, which extends your free tech support warranty beyond 90 days, costs an additional $250.
Laptop magazine, MacLife and Macworld rate the Apple MacBook laptops highly. Integrated graphics is the major disadvantage, but their small size and Santa Rosa chipset allow them to conserve battery life.
MacBook Air
In NotebookReview.com’s tests, the MacBook Pro is more than twice as fast as the smaller MacBook Air. Reviewer Jerry Jackson summarizes, “While the Apple MacBook Air is an impressive design with some innovative features, the number of sacrifices that had to be made in order to create this ultra-thin notebook severely limits this laptop.” He loves the appearance, but concedes, “The lack of ports, low-capacity slow hard drive, and slow overall performance make the MacBook Air the weakest performing MacBook we’ve seen in the last few years.”
Functionality is limited by the hardware, and more importantly, what it lacks. The Air has no optical drive. You can buy an external drive to load software, but the Air has a unique feature that will work as a substitute for some users. You can use a networked computer (Mac or PC) as a de facto external optical drive. This worked well for some reviewers, but others had problems.
The Air does not include a user-replaceable battery. In tests, reviewers usually got a little more than three hours use from the battery. The ultra-thin laptop literally only has three connectors. One is for an external monitor, an audio line-out can be used for headphones or speakers, and reviewers lambaste the presence of just one USB port and cite many reasons why more are needed. The MacBook Air has built-in Wi-Fi, but no Ethernet jack for wired broadband Internet or networking.
Among reviewers, Newsweek’s Steven Levy is in Snell’s camp. He details the MacBook Air’s disadvantages, but that doesn’t overcome his infatuation. The Wall Street Journal’s Walter Mossberg doesn’t express a personal conclusion, but lists all the common laptop uses for which the Air is unsuitable. He infers that it’s a great choice for anyone whose needs are very basic.
PC Magazine and CNet.com attempt to compare the MacBook Air to PC alternatives. PC Magazine’s Cisco Cheng says the Sony VAIO VGN-SZ791N (*est. $2,500) and the Lenovo ThinkPad X61 (starting at *est. $1,200) are better ultra-portables. CNet makes the obvious comparisons with other MacBook laptops and provides a simple chart showing what the MacBook Air offers relative to typical ultra-portables. The missing attractions are four USB ports (instead of one), a PC card or Express card slot, a modem, an Ethernet connector and a DVD burner.
In the Computerworld article, “MacBook Air: Ethereal or Unrealistic?” and the Macworld article, “Stacking up the MacBook Air and a Sony VAIO,” Scot Finnie and Rob Griffiths, respectively, fantasize about what they would like an ultra-portable Macintosh laptop to be. Periodicals, enthusiast websites and bloggers are already speculating that a product like that is coming. Enthusiasts are a step or two ahead of Apple.
Riyad Emeran of TrustedReviews.com summarizes reviewer opinion: “I absolutely loved the Sony VAIO X505VP back in 2004, but if Sony was still pushing that product today, it would have a tough time standing up to the competition. You see the X505VP was a design statement and a technology showcase at the time, whereas as the MacBook Air is simply a design statement.”
