You will go to Plug Ins, Sharaf DG, eMax and Jacky's. Because I've seen laptops for these specs at this price there. I'm glad you've decided on those 2 brands, as they're robust.

Yeah they don't reduce the price, they just give you freebies which suck.

there's a mall or kind of a center in Dubai, i dunno the name of the street... but that place is stuffed with PC shops. They have everything and they can even swap your old laptop for a new one!
I think some guys here know it...
