and do you know how much a computer costs in doha/? thank you
You might be better off with a PC if you just want to surf etc.
I use my Mac for Photoshop and downloading and viewing TVshows /Films.
johny_boiei, check Virgin shop here in Villagio. I've seen a lot of MAC Computers there. Are you planning to get a G5 or a Minimac?. The US prices are 600 and 800 as I saw in apple official website, the prices here in qatar are a little more expensive. You have to add to the US price from 400 - 600 Q.R. These prices does not include the monitor, mighty mouse or the keyboard.
Best Regards
I would check with the US apple site and the UK Apple site to see what the prices are on there before paying for one here.
I am running Photoshop CS2 on my Mac and work PC. The processing speed on the Mac is so much quicker.
Rock The Casbah i m really intrested to buy a MAC...how much is it..plz tell me the details...

There are two places for Apple in Doha.
Virgin megastore and a stall at the royal plaza.
I think the Mac comes with a global warranty so you should be okay.
But then again, when have you ever had a problem with your Mac?
I had one of the first Imacs and it lasted 5 years with no problems. I have the new one and its been running for almost a 1.5 years without a hint of trouble.
You are most welcome, at any time buddy.
King Edshel thank you so much for your answer!
I guess that there is no difference between the prices here and Europe. It might be a little expensive here [I check the prices on the net and on Virgin here and it was like 300 - 500 Q.R only]. The difference in price would you will pay it for the shipment cost to here. I don't think that Apple's international warranty covers the middle east. It is better if you got it here so you can benefit from the support when you need it.
Other computers got different prices, if you are going for a normal branded model [HP, Dell] it will cost you with the monitor from 3500 - 4000. If you are looking for assembled ones then it will depend on your budget and the specifications that you want to see in your desktop. You can get a very good gaming desktop here for 5000 - 7000 Q.R.
You did not specify what exactly do you want so I can help you better. Take care and good luck my friend.
Best Regards
