thanks guys:)
Before visiting or calling them, do you know the average price at each of these stores?
(besides the one with a url, thanks:) it seems overpriced :s)

samer

it's about 1.5 times the US price (rough, very rough estimate)

beezer

I WAS selling mine. But I left Lebanon. :P

rolf

There is Interlinks in Freeway Center, sinn el fil. Its next to the back entrance.
You could have good prices on pcandparts... but apparently they dont sell macbooks anymore.

Rody

macbooks are a ripoff in Lebanon, you cannot a good price ....

Charly

true, you can't get a good price, i got mine which is around twice the price in canada ! imagine....

karim-soubra

samer

Our service is currently available only in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and will be soon available in your area. http://shop.appleme.ae/ashop/soon.php

This refers to an upcoming education store for Apple in Lebanon/the Middle East.
Is that remotely true?

karim-soubra

yes very true
tried to get an exact date but no luck the whole thing is very hush-hush
but they promised a surprise

Well if windows 7 is a fail(which i think it will ><), my next laptop might be a mac or one with linux, some OEMs have started distributing ubuntu as the standard OS in their desktops and laptops, but ubuntu still have many shortcomings in the mediacentric side, so if they add more support to their media applications, ubuntu will surely be my main OS, ubuntu 8.10 is the most succesful OS now for internet-centric applications except for flash related stuff(blame adobe :p), i can see those problems fixed in the next releases, i'll keep trying every release until they get it perfectly...

Rody

Man the problem with apple prices in Lebanon is that they are exclusive and their products are proprietary, which was the case with Sony few years ago but now it changed, let's hope Apple will be the same in a few years :)
They allow their distributor to make tons of cash this way especially in Lebanon

beezer

Apple prices are expensive everywhere really. It's a fun computer to use, but I think should only be purchased if you really need it (are a typographer). Especially in the Middle East since support is pretty much non existent, no matter where you are. Steve Jobs hates this area and everyone in the Apple industry knows this.
