I appreciate your help Alex, but unfortunately I have been using computers for last 10 years and i did my masters in CS.
I never used Windows, and I am not planning to use windows in near future. I used lots of laptops (Dell, HP, Acer, Thinkpad and Apple), and the only three laptops, in my opinion, which comes with best Hardware are
1) Thinkpad
2) Apple
3) Fujitsu
But both thinkpad and fujitsu comes with windows (I dont want to pay for something, which i won't use). Apple OS sucks, but at least it is a BSD port, so I can be happy with it.
But still I would be really happy if some one can get me the price details of Fujitsu or Thinkpad
Do you really want to buy Apple? Do you really want to spend around 4000 riyals on a laptop?
With that money you can buy... Dell Inspiron 17R with i7 Second Generation, 640HDD, 1 GB dedicated GT525M and 6GB RAM DDR3... That if u're a gamer.
But since you want Apple, that means you are going to use it mostly for Facebook, Messenger and other stuff like it. Therefore a laptop that has an i5 (second generation - Sandy Bridge), 4GB RAM and a hard drive ranging from 500 to 750 would cost you up to 2500 Riyals.
I have some advice and i would really appreciate if you and others follow it:
1. DO NOT BUY APPLE just because u see the bitten apple as a logo. That's exactly what Apple INC. wants you to do. REMEMBER! If u buy Apple you are going to pay 35-50% on the brand name and logo.
2. Buy only from these brands and ONLY from authorized shops (if you don't know about laptops and configurations): ASUS, Acer, DELL, Alienware (only if u're a true gamer and u have the cash for it).
Why only these brands? It's simple... just keep reading.
HP: poor customer support, poor (for the lack of a better word) Driver Database, Components on some models have huge compatibility issues AND most HP laptops have overheating problems. Not to forget the HDD problems on models that use Seagate or Hitachi Hard Drives.
Samsung: Most of their drivers are custom made to suit their components and therefore u have to wait untill they launch a new driver instead of just downloading it from the manufacturers website. Even so... it could be a good choice HOWEVER it depends on the model of the laptop.
TOSHIBA: oh please don't get me started :P. These guys should have kept on making car batteries and toasters.
Their components are of a very poor quality and they don't care if u have problems.
Apple: high price (100% over the price of other brands) and low performance. Not to mention the fact that they kinda force you to use their OS.
Sony: These guys are rather ok... but again... the price is a problem.

Anyway, sorry, I forgot to answer your question.
That particular MacBook Pro model that you are asking can range from around QR5,500 - QR5,700 (more or less). ;)
I never regret any of my Mac purchases. And FYI, I NEVER OWNED any PC in my life. ;)
