Has anyone in QL bought any laptop from Jarir bookstore on loan through Qatar Finance company?

One more thing,what do you guys think about HP laptops?

As i've never bought anything on loan through a bank or a finance company
in Qatar,any ideas/suggestions whatsoever will be highly appreciated.

I am just guessing but maybe just maybe in the 21 months since he posted this, he may have already bought a laptop. Just a guess :)

Payday cash advances are the easiest way to pull yourself out of a financial rut that you may have gotten yourself into due to unseen circumstances such as: an economic crisis, a family emergency, etc. Payday cash advances are extremely convenient due to the fact that you can retrieve them within minutes from applying. In comparison to traditional bank loans, payday loans can be deposited in your account almost immediately and your credit is not a major factor in being approved for one.

It's a crazy economy right now and everyone is looking for money and a cash advance is just one option. Most cash advance loans have a decent APR and payback period. I think they can offer up to 1500.00 dollars with a 12,500.00 credit line. Even people that had good secure jobs are now filing for bad credit loans do to losing their job - it's crazy.

Thank you guys for the wonderful ideas/suggestions and prompt response.I have all the documents required by QFC and i'm quite ok with their comission/interest - 7.5%,which is not too bad.I was just wondering if with all the required documents the processing will be faster.

Anyways,to be sure QFC is my best bet,I contacted Jazeera Finance company(a subsidiary of my bank(QIB)),I was rudely told that their interest rate is 12%.The guy in charge of loan there even told me unprofessionallly when i introduced myself as a QIB customer to look elsewhere to get the loan if i'm not satisfied with interest rate.

What a horrible staff at Jazeera Finance Company!!!

oh by the way, i agree with sanzqa. its better you save up than get a loan. if you can avail of cash advance (interest-free) from your company, you might as well try.

Jarir has an arrangements with QFC that let the customers to purchase laptops and pay back in installments. but their formalities r a bit complex, a lot of documentations required, etc..

I have been using HP for many years. I have no problem and its easy to dispose, it has a good re-sale value too.

I tried ACER once but it let me down in just 6 months of use. after a year monitors give-up and so on so fort.

Hp's are good value like Smoke said already...

 

U should go for the Entertainment series.. which is Dv-9000 / Dv 6000 ... 

 

Villagio or city centre carefoure are much cheaper than Jarir though you won't get the installment scheme..

HP's have very good value for money i feel, bought my HP from Villagio last year, i feel the prices in Jarir are a bit more compared to city center. my laptop specs are 2.40ghz core 2 duo, 4mb cache, 2gb ram, 250gb hdd, dvd writer with litescrub, finger print reader, 1.3mp built in webcam. it looks something like this but i think its a different model got it for QR5299
