Where can I buy Macs/Macbooks in Doha
By freeyourmind •
Hi All
What's the best place to buy Macs in Doha in terms of prices, service etc. Jarir used to sell them but don't anymore. Is there only one dealer/distributor or several.
If anybody has any stories to share (+ve or _ve) about a particular store, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
how r u?
i think you are so sweety
see u later...
e-Pro Solutions is an Apple Premium Reseller as well as Apple Authorized Service provider here in Doha, they have showroom in The Mall beside Highland Mall.
They are providing a very good and satisfactory service to all customers whether local or international.
Their main service center is located at:
P.O.Box: 24617
Suhaim Bin Hamad St.,
Doha-Qatar
Tel: +974-4478116
Fax: +974-4478117
you can check also their website: http://e-pro.com.qa/
I hope this will help with those people who are looking for Apple Store here in Doha as well as a good service for their Apple Products
from Apple direct.
If you don't need the dual English/Arabic keyboard, then skip buying here and order direct from US.

I order my macs from amazon.com and get it shipped by Aramex. Best price and latest models. Easy.
try www.bhphotovideo.com, it's way cheaper than virgin, ispot and other apple distributors which is also covered with international warranty. they ship here in qatar for only $100-150US. way cheaper than the shops here. I bought a macbook pro for 7500 including the shipping. Where in some shops they sell it for 8500-10000 Riyals.
someone suggested buying one from the US.. its so much cheaper plus you could get the apple care warranty should you run into problems in the future.
I've been a MAC user for a while - I advise anyone looking to purchase one to go to iSpot, they are without doubt the best in Qatar for product knowledge and customer service.
They are an Apple premium reseller - Carrefore/Geant etc are not and connot provide the level of after sales service - I made the mistake of buying a MBA from one of them and getting a minir fault repaired is a nightmare!
sure man, macs are fun!
fewer errors and conflicts, crashes.. etc..
i switch from windows to mac os x years ago..
and i had a hard time adjusting.. Ha-ha!
but i'm used to it now..
probably the main reason is that i don't speak
the i'm-a-computer-geek language.. :D
cheers,

Surely you are not joking when you say
"if you have no experience with using macs..
i'm discouraging you.. its not user-friendly.."
Macs are very user-friendly.
Phone 180 or look at their website - you can find it with Google.
Did you Google it first?
virgin megastore..
and carrefour.. lol!
mac pros costs like $2000..
QR10,000.. something like that..
if you have no experience with using macs..
i'm discouraging you.. its not user-friendly..
but anyway, you could convert your mac to MS OS.
cheers,
paul

U CAN GET MACBOOK FROM ISPOT IN CITY CENTRE , APPLE KIOSK IN ROYAL PLAZA, OFFICE 1 SUPERSTORE NEAR MIDMAC FLY OVER .. ALMANA & PARTNERS ( ON RAYYAN RD )IS THE PREVIOUS AGENT FOR MAC BOOK .STILL HAVE FEW STOCKS.
the Ali Bin Ali store is called iSpot but they charge WAY too much.

where can i find that?
Well, Almana at Rayyan Road is the local authorized seller in Qatar. Besides this you will find them in Modern Home in city center and at Virgin Store like N77 suggested.The Macbooks here have an bilingual Key boards ( Arabic/English). They are over priced here.
freeyourmind, Unfortunately - Edited
my only choices are:
- Almana Apple Store
- iSPot
i compare the price and specifications, The price brackets are almost the same. (more less cheaper in Almana by 100 or 200 QR)
but for accesories like cases or sleeve, go for iSpot.
(located in City Center)

Never go younger by a month, a hard bod is no substitute for wisdom.
Wht type of adjustments and testing?
Wht u wanna do with tht?
wht type of help do u need?
Have A Great Day.....
I know there are LOTs of sellers posting about unlocked iPhones. How to know who is reputable? I'd like to buy one but really don't know where to start.
By the way, I am also a mac user (macbook). I didn't need Arabic, so I bought it in the US and had it sent to me via Aramex. Much better deal that way...
fai077, ive got mine very recently, im still making alot of testing and adjustment. i have to confess im still ignorant about it.
Never go younger by a month, a hard bod is no substitute for wisdom.
Nw im using, mac pro.
Bt fist i used mac pro.
Y?
Have A Great Day.....
The proper inquiry maybe like this: Is there any Virgin here in Qatar selling MacBook? Hehehe...

Have A Great Day.....
I believe the best Apple shop in Doha is the newest in City Center - iSpot! Its the first ever APPLE PREMIUM RESELLER in Qatar.
NOTE: AND BY THE WAY, BEFORE ANYONE SAYS THIS MAC IN THIS SHOP IS CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER, CHECK OUT THE SPECS FIRST. Just a friendly reminder from an Apple freak like me! =) BEFORE YOU CHECK THE SHOPS, CHECK OUT http://www.apple.com FIRST TO KNOW THE CURRENT/LATEST SPECS.
Hey, Apple/Mac lovers! Lets meet! ;)
Macky
652-2069
that number given by Kejri 4494749 is NOT Apple by the way.
@Qatman, Qatar's Apple prices are sadly only a bit cheaper than the UK.
America still gets the cheapest :(

Al Mana & Partners and Virgin at Villagio mall are the other places to buy.
You can call Mr Sahid on 552 0906. He sells and maintains. Prices are better than any ones in Doha. I and many others have bought from him.
They got them in PCOne(Salwa Road), In Royal Plaza, in Landmark(new), in Modern Home(next to Jarir) and Virgin Megastore in Villagio.
Giant Store are also selling mac, there's a sale now on macbook for QR 3999, i think it's only 80GB. For personal use i think that would be enough, but if you're planning to use it for graphics I suggest you buy the macbook pro.
Office 1 and PC 1 in Salwa sell macs aswell. I think cheaper than VIRGIN MEGA STORE
The low end Macbooks are between QR 5-6K and the higher end ones are upwards of QR 10K.
Last time you checked, How much the cost of Macbooks in Qatar?
approx. price?
Thanks kejriwalrajeev....where is their showroom/store?
hahaha its ok!
you're still thinking of me, i know!
TC
Ali Bin Ali is authorised Apple dealer
We seem to have something else on our minds!
I haven't seen the Macs at Virgin recently but it's a good place to start. I have a feeling other stores are selling them too but not sure which ones. The Apple site was not very helpful.
Qatman - I was referrring to the laptops by Apple which are called Macbooks not books about Macs.
Thanks
ooops Apple .... Should say Virgin Book Store doh ! Silly me ... what am I thinking?
"have u seen Virgin?"
I opened your post, i thought it was some topic about 72 virgins or any other hot issues in doha?
Hello
have u seen Virgin?
