Hello everybody,
I was just wondering if there are any Alienware resellers here in qatar as I plan on purchasing a new laptop, and so far I can't seem to find any.
Any help would be very appreciated,
Thanks in advance!
Don't buy it locally, either go to Dubai and get one there or buy it online and ship it through Aramex. All the Alienwares you'll find here will be outdated or super expensive. But even if you buy it online, for good specs you're looking at 2000-$2500 excluding Aramex fees. Buy an MSI instead, they're fairly cheap and look cool. Or if you're willing to buy online check Sager. I bought one recently and it's been working like a charm.
Well i really wanna go for it, but (you might not be aware of this) since late january Intel has recalled all its new Sandy Bridge chipsets which the new Alienware M17x-R3 is equiped with, so production of this model has been stopped ever since, and it's due to be resumed early march hopefully, so until then my hands are tied!
Never mind I just called them, they have all three sizes, I asked about the M17x (the 17-inch one) and it's ridiculously overpriced, 11800 qar! Plus the specs aren't even that good, for that price you get a great customisation in the USA, same old story here in qatar...
I contacted this person and it turns out that he's a scammer! He was selling it for 600$ so i knew straight away something was wrong, i sent an email to the company he claimed to work for and they confirmed it
Only problem is there is no contact number, and i can't pm since i only just created an account on that website, so all i did was reply to his post, hope it's still available and at a good price
lets say the weight is around 4 - 5 Kgs you can pay around 300 - 400QAR using aramex or dhl.
Make sure you get your items insured before you ship any expensive item from the US, you might pay 100 or 200 more but if it gets damaged or lost you are reimbursed the entire amount !
you can shop in places like Amazon / Best Buy and then ship to a local address in USA where courier services like ARAMEX Shop & Ship or DHL Easy Shop will ship to you in Qatar.
Open an account with them and you can save a fortune !
But remember, more than 700 USD you may have to pay Customs Duty in Qatar i believe is 5% of invoice amount.
suggest you build your own specs and order directly from the US. even if you find any Alienware in Qatar the specs would be limited. I have some friends who directly ordered from the US as they did not like the specs available here. It was mere basic and super expensive as always.

Do you know which alienware it was? 11, 15 or 17 inches ?
I saw a beautiful Alienware laptop in the Virgin store at Landmark last Saturday - I have no idea of the price, I just know I can't afford it!
get your own customized from Alienware :)
its worth the wait !

Found a link from another site for someone selling an Alienware laptop, http://www.qatarsocial.com/thread-4768-1-2.html.
Just thought you may want to check it out.
Do you have details of the full specs and what condition it's in ?
i have one... different specs from the one in virgin villagio...
I know someone selling his Alienware comp with full accessories...
lets say the weight is around 4 - 5 Kgs you can pay around 300 - 400QAR using aramex or dhl.

Best of Luck and Happy shopping
Oh ok got it, I misunderstood you the first time, I thought that I have to pay 700$ of taxes.
Thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it.
One last question, do you have any idea how much to expect for the shipping ?
I think you are confused, any items imported to Qatar more than 700 USD has around 5% tax.
But obviously before shipping you better call Aramex or DHL and confirm them the actual invoice amount so they can confirm to you.
Regarding Dell, i am not sure but on Amazon and Bestbuy you have tons of Alien ware on sale.
Let's say my customization adds up to 3000$, if customs are at 5% then that would make 150$, so why 700$ ?
And can't I order directly from Dell?

I have been looking for an HP i7, DV6 3175 past two months, this great country doesnt have them. You get it in any kiosk in Dubai. Gr8 Qatar
Actually that's what I had in mind, but my concern was does Dell ship to Qatar ? How exactly did your friends receive their laptops?

Dont know about Alienware, but plenty of Slaveware in Qatar, just hit any street in the Industrial Area.

sometime back i saw some alienware PC in PCONE may be they still have it
I saw one alienware laptop at virgin megastore in villagio. You may look for some dell resellers.
