I'm sorry but I seriously have to disagree with some comments.
It seems that people are not good at shopping around.
Tech products in Qatar are VERY cheap. Sometimes they are more expensive due to the fact that you get a comprehensive or international warranty.
In most shops, tell them you DONT want the warranty and the price will drop amazingly.
With 'some' products it's cheaper in the US.
American people have to remember, there are alot of people that complain America is so expensive (or complain petrol is expensive when you're petrol is 1/4th the price of the UK), but the US is cheaper than so many countries in the world when it comes to actual goods (then again, you get lower salary and have taxes too).
Now for some stats. (I compare prices like crazy before buying anything)
I bought an HP 6500 model for 2000QR for my baby sister, however it cost 600GBP (4500QR) in the UK and 3200QR in the US.
My mother's LG T1 express cost her (4000QR) however the price in the UK was 6700QR and it was 5600QR in the US
My Macbook (Max spec) cost me 5100QR in the UK but it costs 4500QR in Qatar and 3900QR in the US. (Apple's used to be cheaper in the US than any country, however Qatar's prices are catching up.
Now when it comes to general electronics, I'll tell you that 85% of them are cheaper than most countries (except in stores where you have RIP off owners)
