We've learned prices for new Macs, still unofficial.

were these models available during GITEX ?

Available to buy? No, the MacBook and MacBook Pro were on display.

the MacBook Pro 2.4/2/250/9600 is here at itechia sold for 8999SR

the MacBook (new look, lowest model) is for 6999SR

We heard at GITEX from several people that the prices of the new notebooks would be closer to the US prices than the products through ABM have been before. If these prices are the real ones then that doesn't seem to be very true.

Apple's resellers in this region continue to rip us off. Now with the drop in the exchange rates, even Europe and UK are cheaper than us. I was in Germany last week and while the new MacBooks aren't out there yet, the price on the white MacBooks has now become much cheaper than here due to the low Euro, and that's even before the VAT refund.

I emailed Fusion Logic, Apple's reseller here in Oman and they gave me their prices:

2.4 Ghz/2Gb/250Gb New Model R.O 760
2.0 Ghz/160GB/1GB New Model R.O 650

RIP OFF

Don't buy the RAM from Apple.
Get it from Computer Plaza.
