Mac Book Prices in Kuwait
Posted in I went the other day to Marina Mall after having a quick visit to the dentist. And it wasnt a bad visit to the dentist, but I dread going to the dentist for any reason! And after I was done I went for a quick visit to Marina Mall since it was empty. I wanted to take a look at a couple things at the One, but on the way there I stopped inside the Apple Center just to see how rediculous the prices of their products are.
So after finding out the price of the MacBook I decided to try finding how much the other places sell the MacBook for based on Mark’s previous information gathering on the MacBook Pro. Thank you Mark. These are prices for the matt black MacBook
Apple Center
590KD = $2034.00
Solize
Not Available
Kamal Al Sultan
Not Available
zMacShop
550KD = $1896.00
And none of them have it in stock yet, everybody told me another week or two. So anyone with their right mind would by it online and wait for it. Since they are using the usual Kuwait pricing scale when selling these products.

I think it’s availble in the MAC store at ibn Battuta, but again what’s the use, it’s here in Dubai..
The prices are like this not only in Kuwait because of the currency, but all over the GCC..and Yeah, it’s better buying one online.

Just for your info, I stopped by Mac City yesterday and their price from the black MacBook is 595 KD (they have them in stock). Still too expensive though (438 KD from Amazon).

chr0nik: My friend has it and I tried it a little while back! Its a great computer if you just want to do some usual stuff, even some photoshop, and movie editing.. but not getting too heavy. Its really useful to get used to a mac, but you could do also is get a MacMini and connect your current screen/keyboard/and mouse to it. I wouldnt recommend buying it here. Just buy it online from apple, and put your USWS address.
