purchasing a laptop

so I have a couple of questions:

Where do you go to shop for laptops? I'm talking about decent gaming capable laptops and not just the regular on-board intel video I see on every corner computer shop

If I fail to see any good laptops around these parts, I'm thinking of purchasing one overseas and have it shipped here. Does Qatar have import taxes?

There are some Alienwares and Asus laptops in Jarir and Virgin, but as mentioned before they are way over priced.

I bought mine (MSI) a few months and I'll be upgrading to a new one soon so I'm kinda updated on the market if you need any help.

You can find very limited gaming laptop choices at Virgin sometimes, except they are overpriced always. Jarir used to sell decent gaming laptops in the past but they stopped now ( I got my Toshiba Qosmio from there ).
