Hi

My requirement is to buy a general purpose laptop costing around 35K. Presently staying in doha Qatar. My usage are very general, using ms office, surfing, reading, office work. I am not interested in gaming, though would like to have an option of watching movies sometimes

As I am currently based in doha, which brand and config should I go for considering my above requirement. Another imp parameter would be after sales service in doha.

I am a software professional in doha and am doing MBA simultaneously and my laptop need would be accordingly. My old laptop conked out on me and my exams are in a weeks time. So this need of mine is kinda urgent.

Thanks & Regards
Adrian.
