Hi All,
I am going to Riyadh on Job. Please anybody can tell approx price of starting range of netbook in Riyadh city.
In India it is INR.16000 to 20000
How much in SAR in KSA?
Please help!

Prasad, Notebooks are available in various brands, shapes, and colors ranging from SR 2,000 upwards.

Thanks for information.
It means minimum price for notebook is SAR 2000 i.e. INR 24000
In India notebooks are available from INR.16000.
So its better to buy one in India rather than KSA
Am I right?

musicman

Prasad, prices vary based on configuartions. I have seen some notebooks up for sale at Jarir Bookstore for even as low as SR 1500.

Yes I also seen Jarir Bookstore web site
As I will be their employee I can ask for discount also!
I want something between SR1000 to SR1500.

If you are going to be working for them...I'd wait and buy it here...

Go to philipin souk in BATHA and maybe you can find something for a good price;

Red,

You going to be living in Saudi for a while?  I don't know why but I'd thought you were only here on a temporary visit.

musicman

EXTRA or JARIR are thge best offers for Laptops and PC accessories.

All  the expats at my work place have found that buying laptops in their home countries (UK, USA, India, Pakistan etc..) is cheaper than buying in KSA.

All above recommendations are goood.

But you should also take this in to consideration : Warranty.

And it will only be present at the place where you bought it.

So i will recommend that you buy it from KSA

It would be better to buy it from Jarir.
