hi,I need to get a new laptop.would it be cheaper to buy in Bulgaria rather than uk?.

Generally, no. A higher end Lenovo or macbook will generally cost you between 100-200 bgn more here than the same laptop purchased in England---like a 2000 bgn laptop here would cost about 750 pound. If you are here already, then the savings are negligible when you tack on shipping and the hassle of getting it here from the UK, but if you are still in the UK or going there soon, you will save a bit by buying your electronics there.

To note- when you get into lower end stuff, less than 600 or 700 bgn, the savings of buying it in the UK is pretty small, so it is more buy wherever.

If you buy here, I recommend avoiding technomarket and technopolis and checking out zora, ardes, or local sellers for a better price.

Thanks for the info..

Depends on the model you have selected. So better check the prices yourself, either in www.emag.bg, or technopolis.com, lots of other options too.

There's one important issue, not within the price range - warranty contitions.

And probably another one, though not so important - power supply adaptors.
