All laptops are made in China. Only a limited number of Sony VAIO are made in Japan. You can get one for like QAR 8,000 or QAR 9,000. Also, they are planning to discontinue the production in Japan. So, if you want a Japanese laptop, you need to hurry.

Almost all laptops now are made in China. you can ask the sales person in any shop and you'll find the same answer. Others parts of the laptop may come from other countries but still the laptops itself is made in China. Ranking of the Laptops here in Qatar is like of the ff:

1st. Dell/ Toshiba/ Sony/ HP

2nd Acer/ Compaq/ Fujitsu

3rd Lenovo/ BenQ

Mine is an Acer Laptop. It really works for me and it does not give me any headache. It's cool. Its in the matter of how you take care and use your laptop.

Good Luck and all the best!
