    The Dell Middle East site doesnt quote prices. I'm from India.Here Inspiron 6400 costs around $1170. Will the prices be cheaper in the Middle East?

    Good luck buying the Inspiron 6400, the support in the middle east is the worst you will ever see ( Emirates Computers), it took me 2 months to fix my problems (under warrenty), actually it was one problem (motherboard) and after fixing it I get 2 new problems... a cd/dvd rom which isn't mine, and a whole LCD backcover filled with scratches! I had to open a fight with them to change the LCD backcover and it took them 6 weeks to replace it... believe me I have never seen worst then this. I have dealt with many companies but nothing like this... my suggestion... dont buy a dell from the middle east till they get a new agent to support/sell their products!
    and for the price I bought mine a year ago (Core Duo 2.0, 512mb ram, ati x1400, 80gb hdd) for $1498 (5499 AED), now I think with a core 2 duo and more hdd and ram you would get it in the same price.

    $1170 is not a bad price (outside U.S) if the configuration is good. Don’t buy from another country for a $100~200 difference unless you are going to stay there for a long time. Because you may end up paying a whole lot more if something goes wrong.
