the difference we pay in bahrain is almost equal to a mac-mini
so its like buying 2 computers, yours and a mac-mini
isnt that horrible?
not to mention lack of hardware and software availible, and if ou want anything
most of the time you will have to wait two weeks to get to you
imachines are way much better than apple-center. apple center are a bunch of rip-offs pure and simple
i once ordered a bunch of software from them , and i swear they multiplied everything by 2 and gave me the bill
so basically the $24 quicktime pro turned into $48 product. When i talked to the indian guy there he was like its supposed to be like this, these are the prices.
it was more like i am a big rip-off, i am stealing your money.
not to mention a non-wireless modem i bought from them with price of 1000 riyals with one ethernet port.
the modem looked like it was from the 1980's.
i had to buy it wouldnt work with the USB speedtouch modem.
i had to order this software cause i didnt have a credit card and iregret it up to this day.
imachines are much better, but their prices are still high, not because their rip-offs but because prices are really high, they dont sell much because no customers are there and they have to pay rent and wages.
i also believe they hardly know anything about the computers they sell,both of the stores. We dont see software for the macintosh, support is dull, and its more like nobody cares
which brings me to think, if they are such careless people
why do they open apple stores in the first place?
we have a lot to complain about really, and the only place i think it can be successful here in the GCC area is to open a store in saudia arabia or dubai, they are the only two countries with potential to have numerous customers
saudia for their great population number (20+ million)
dubai due to its high number of foreigners which has higher probablity that they use macintosh than arab customers
