Used laptops & desktops sold?

Are there stores in Doha that trade and sell used laptops? Often these computers are sold by reputable shops that even give a 30-day guarantee with the used machines they sell.

Also, in many cities, like in Kuwait, these stores are grouped together in a certain area of town. This makes it easy to compare values. Does Doha have a "computer business area"?

Dunno yet - I haven't arrived in Qatar yet.

But I'll be there soon. I don't know whether or not I'll be issued a laptop by my company so I figured I'd start learning about the computer market now.

Used laptops are like used cars; they depreciate the most as soon as you take them out of the box. After that you can get a good machine for much less than it was new even if it's only a month old.

What is the computer market like in Qatar, then? Are there many stores that sell machines and parts? Are they located generally in one area of town or perhaps in one mall?

Finally, what about software? Is all the software sold in Qatar original or is there a black market in pirated programs? Thanks for any information.
