  • Where to buy new laptop in Lebanon now?

Hello,

I need to buy laptop to my son. PC&parts have limited options on laptops at the moment. Are there any other computer shops in Lebanon with reasonable prices on laptops?
They sell for 6 million to 9 million. Those aren't "reasonable".
Looking for an affordable laptop too for a friend

well it's not their fault is it ? what are they supposed to do ? sell for a loss ?

The worst laptop you can get won't be less than 3 million.
Are the stores themselves buying their stock at bank exchange rate or black market rate?
Black market. Only who was buying at bank exchange rate are subsidized items, and even them have hard time getting dollars.

black market ofc
Can't stores simply refuse to buy stock at black market rate? Surely the skyrocketing prices are cutting into their profits.

This is not how it works, stores used to buy their stock using USD and still, nothing changed, it is just that our currency has degraded to very bad levels.
VincentKeyboard wroteWhere do stores get their USD from to buy their stocks?
My guess as everybody, call exchange houses, friends, scrap here and there.
At least some stores who import and i know.
