UAE throttles a good chunk of VPN services here. Even the popular ones like NordVPN and ExpressVPN. I personally use this thing called Shadowsocks, and it works pretty well. Internet speeds are very minimally hampered. As far as I know though, I couldn't find a way to split tunnel using it.

I'm not aware of a decent headset below 100. I'd suggest you check Carrefour, Sharaf DG maybe they have stuff between 70 to 100 AED. Otherwise used market is your best bet.
But I can recommend this . I know it's slightly above your budget, but its really amazing for the price, and I care alot about the sound quality, it has a good bass as well. Been using it for maybe 3 years now.
FLAIR YOUR POST! (did it already lol its fine)
Im a bit concerned with this - especially the part with "ill be happy to have someone text you the details"
Rules:
> Refrain from posting items that you’re willing to sell. You may use other platforms such as Dubizzle and Souq for that matter.
However for the time being - im curious, why does your friend have a stack of them? You won't be able to sell them at 6k each (they're also slightly less on Amazon right now. Expect a significant price drop soon.
i7-7700-HQ laptops will be a hard sell now. Ryzen mobile is out, as is Coffee Lake, which tear the 7000 series to shreads in a lot of applications. If someone is gonna spend 6k on a laptop with a 1060, they can get a desktop with a 1070, which is far more popular.

4560 aed including shipping. gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ddr4, 256gb ssd, i7-7700HQ. Forget league of legends, you can play witcher 3 on high and get 70 fps. Review and benchmarks here.
same laptop is 6460 on microless. 6450 on souq. An inferior version of the same model (half as much ram, no ssd) is on gear up for 5775.
edit: you might be able to beat this price with some serious serious haggling in computer plaza (even then, unlikely) but i would say this laptop is well worth the asking price even considering the shipping plus you get great amazon support.
I know the struggle of having Asian parents as well but for the amount you're paying you could do a lot better if you're looking for a gaming laptop
Acer Nitro 5 1650
Maybe get a friend to buy it for you and then pay them.
Something similar to these. Please do your own research tho cuz I have never used them. They were just an option I was looking at a while back
i'm sure you'll be better off visiting computer plaza in person and checking out all the different stores for whatever you'd like. there'll be some bargaining room too so don't hesitate to do so. other than that there's a couple 4k monitors going for a pretty decent price right now, that's if you wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a 4k panel. which imo could be worth the extra 150 or so, but tbh that just depends on your preferences and use case.

This is the Q300L TUF edition ( basically Q300L with Asus TUF branding). Amazon often has incorrect product titles when it comes to PC parts.
With that low budget. its difficult u'll find anything good but Lenovo IdeaPad L340 would be my recommendation.
https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B08N5TQD6M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_58CE3QRH8AN5CR8372PG
Also buying in-store would be way more expensive than from Amazon online..
PC's are a no go cuz of the current market situation and your budget.
I was looking at the HP Envy x360 15 and it looks like a good option. I was watching some reviews on YouTube and they are generally positive.
But note that this specific variant with the Ryzen processor is not available here in the UAE, so it’ll be shipped from the USA.
https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B08BS557MX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_FH33SK3MQSZGRJVK5G41
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3
is the best ik... u should be able to get a GTX 1650 at this price.
and incase you go for anything else, I DON'T recommend Asus TUF or Acer Nitro 5... they have bad cooling
this is good https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B07YD58MX9/ref=twister_B086J7SDFP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
also, size does not matter a lot, as you screw them inside. Also, use the SSD for faster load times.
As far as I know, most of the retailers would push bundles. You can check on Amazon as well.
I know why you want alienware.
But hell... Just checked Amazon and found an amazing MSI Katana GF66 (yes, yes, I know) with next-day delivery.

4400!!! 1200$ for RTX3070 laptop.
sorry to ask, your thoughts on this https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Stealth-15M-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B091GGZT1S/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2WJQCRT43YRXI&keywords=msi+m15&qid=1669729554&sprefix=msi+m15%2Caps%2C252&sr=8-4
it is around 5700aed here in amazon UAE, is it okay to purchase?
This is the older model though, The newer model is this which is priced at 1059. imo this is a better deal honestly because of the larger OLED display and improved performance. That 160 Dhs price will be worth it if you decide to get a switch
Sorry I should have said it was over a month ago and the laptop deal ran out of stock quickly. Here’s the link to the laptop. It’s no longer at that price. It was sold by Amazon UK on the UAE site and I made a post about it at the time
I can definitely recommend the LG-27GN800-B, i have had it for quite a while, and i love it!
https://www.amazon.com/LG-27GN800-B-Ultragear-Response-Compatible/dp/B08LLD2QXJ?crid=3LTSIBM3V9M4A&keywords=gamer+monitor+144hz&qid=1667260303&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjMwIiwicXNhIjoiMy4yMCIsInFzcCI6IjAuMDAifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=gamer+monitor+14...
I would recommend these two
Thanks. I actually swapped the 48" for a C2 42" for the slightly higher DPI and made a noticeable improvement. Only took the punt because Amazon had the 24" for 3500 which was too good to pass up.
I got it from Amazon, it has no arm so supports the weight of the monitor without getting the really expensive ergotron arm. The screen can rotate slightly if you knock it but holds the vertical height no problem.

PS3 Amazon US 830 DHS incl shipping - 120 GB
PS3 Carrefour 765 DHS incl shipping - 500GB
Try searching in Dubizzle, you might find some people selling it brand new for cheaper. Iydm why are you searching for a brand new PS3?
go for an asus tuf trust me its good just recently bought one for 5,600 AED https://www.amazon.ae/ASUS-FX517ZR-HN028W-I7-12650H-RTX3070-1920X1080/dp/B09WJ2VZ8D/ref=asc\_df\_B09WJ2VZ8D/?tag=googleshopp09-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=406576610622&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6506453047896111810&hvpone=&hvptw...
What if I get this 5G router for example and put a sim card in it?
Will it be good enough? or if you know any alternatives that would be good too
So here are your options:
1: You could get this which is cheaper than 4k with basically perfect specs (unless 500gb isn't enough for you) BUT, you'd have to wait atleast a week for the delivery since it ships from the US. (I bought this one so I can personally vouch for it.)
or
2: If you can't wait a week then you could get this and have it delivered in 1-2 days, but its more expensive (400 aed more) and has a weaker processor.
OR
3: You could look for a laptop yourself, look for an RTX 3060 and a 6-core processor (preferably 10-11th gen intel since they're better for gaming) and 16GB of RAM.
This has the same processor as the Dell you mentioned, and an RTX 3060 for ~400Dhs more, which is worth it in my opinion even if its a tiny bit above your budget.
As others have said, a GPU with 4GB of VRAM is not really future-proof which is why an RTX 3060 is highly recommended since it has 6GB of VRAM.
You can order This laptop from amazon UAE it is from amazonUK so total with import price will cost you 3501, review says that the listing is actually misleading it is not 2k resolution and it is 144hz not 165hz even after all this i think its great gaming laptop for your price range
this is a similar laptop at the same price: it has a better CPU and a much better screen, but 3060 instead of 3070 and its 15.6" instead of 17" https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B09RMTNY28/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_XXPXT1JQ93CKQ3HFJZ2C_0
you could definitely go for better laptops in other models though
For value, this is better. Its under 3200 AED and has 2 years warranty.(https://www.amazon.ae/Gigabyte-Gaming-i5-10500H-GeForce-warranty/dp/B09N3X97VV/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3R4A2OTILBJ3O&keywords=rtx+3060+laptop&qid=1661438075&refinements=p_36%3A-400000&rnid=15397626031&sprefix=rtx+3060+%2Caps%2C210&sr=8-2).
For that price. No. The laptop I linked below is not my first choice but it's around the same price and is way better. But you can get better if you can spend around 4k.
check Amazon. They have an Elgato listed for around 970 https://www.amazon.ae/Elgato-Stream-Deck-XL-CUStomizable/dp/B07RL8H55Z/ref=asc_df_B07RL8H55Z/?tag=shoppingstd03-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=372426472257&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10197245575163511901&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1000013&hvtargid=pla-757664119843&psc=1
Ahh... when people say case fans i always assume RGB. My bad.
WTS Gaming Laptop timestamp included
Bought in 2020
Used for occasional gaming.
Selling as I don't have time to game anymore.
15.6'' FHD-144 Hz Base Model,
Intel Core i7-9750H 6-Core,
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, 16GB RAM,
256GB SSD + I installed a 256GB WD Green SSD
Chroma RGB Lighting - QWERTY US-Layout
Comes with Box and Original Charger
Usual Scuff marks on the laptop as expected for standard use -> Razer has a matt finish which attracts scratches easier
Glued these stands on underneath for heat management during gaming
Asking price is AED 4,000 but willing to take REASONABLE offers.
Extremely difficult to find anything of quality at that price range. I suggest bumping up to 200-300.
This is a great value wireless headset.
I would recommend Check this out! https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B09NL4ST42?ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_dp_7AQYV2DCD1ZK758BE2JC this dell one or Check this out! https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B09SP8BJ8S?ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_dp_TCWHGGWTG456GMHPVSJW (Only down side with this one is it doesn’t have a webcam and is 4 cores)

This is also a solid option, and more than likely has superior build quality and thermals to the HP though I don't know for sure.
https://www.amazon.ae/HP-Display-i5-11400H-Graphics-Keyboard/dp/B09QS7QT16/ref=sr_1_16?crid=2N7X6H7HKA57U&keywords=rtx%2B3050&qid=1658163313&sprefix=rtx%2B30%2Caps%2C493&sr=8-16&th=1
Pretty solid for 2.8k, 3050 is significantly better than 1650 and also has DLSS support. Might want to spent 300 more for 16gb ram and 1 tb ssd but since its upgradeable your call.
I ordered a new 3060 card for 1350…on Amazon…and recieved it today….and it was all good and sealed….so if you are looking for one…here you go….3060
https://www.amazon.ae/ASUS-Zephyrus-GA503RS-R7-6800H-Moonlight/dp/B09S9PQKJF/
sold and shipped by amazon, and comes with 3080 non-ti. I wouldn't say its the best one yet, but i think itll do just fine for gaming and 3d designs.
dont buy from jumbo, they're usually overpriced. old tuf a15 and f15 have inferior and bad cooling compared to the ideapad gaming 3, and your best bet will be that.
https://www.amazon.ae/Ideapad-7-5800H-WINDOWS-Eng-Arb-Backlit/dp/B09Q94364X/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2Z9RL1IA29XBJ&keywords=lenovo+ideapad+3+120hz&qid=1656834274&sprefix=lenovo+ideapad+3+120hz%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-2 this one has an rgb keyboard if you care, and great cooling + a decent processor and gpu. if you want a better gpu then get a 3060 laptop on sale or get a desktop
There’s this on Amazon. You might not get warranty for here since it’s shipped from the UK, but the Legion 5 series are very good laptops for their performance and thermals, and I haven’t been able to find other laptops with similar specs for this price. Usually other ones tend to have lower performance parts of the same name
IdeaPad gaming 3, good cooling good battery life 120-165hz screen, good color gamut, RGB keyboard on newer versions There's this one (unsure about the refresh rate) https://www.amazon.ae/Lenovo-Ideapad-5-5600H-WINDOWS-Eng-Arb/dp/B09Q965JM2/ref=nav_signin?crid=OO2C2GHSGIMC&keywords=ideapad%2Bgaming&qid=1653744865&sprefix=ideapad%2Bgaming%2Caps%2C201&sr=8-3&th=1&returnFromLogin=1
Check this out OP. Damn good card, on par with EVGA FTW3, amongst the best in 3080-12gb variants.
You can get one on Amazon for 4.5k-ish. Legion 5 with 5800H (it competes with the i7 11800H, with slightly worse performance but better battery life, otherwise similar performance), and 16GB, 1TB, 165Hz 1080p screen. There are some for 3.8k or so on Amazon too if you are fine with 512GB storage, but it’s sold by third parties.
AED 4533 for 1TB (from Amazon US so it might not have warranty here): https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B09QLF33NQ/?coliid=I1V04WJ1WIUEYM&colid=2ENHNBGGLVG4X&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it There are others for this kind of price but you can surely go below 4k with other brands for the 3050ti and i7 or equivalent. 512GB is somewhat common online, but some laptops let you add on an extra SSD.
Do check in stores here. Some say they offer better deals than the mall stores and even online, but I haven’t been to them so I can’t confirm it. Mall stores do tend to have higher prices for these laptops though.
i5 10th gen + RTX 3060
i7 11th gen + RTX 3060
some options in your price point, I didn't do any comparisons so you'll need to do that yourself
high end laptop prices are just all over the place, your same spec can be found via different seller at the price you got here
this one is really really good
only issue is that its 8gb ram and its soldered but everything else is top notch for the price and ssd can be upgraded
After looking around this seems to be the best offer on amazon. But it seems too good to be true? How is a lenovo 3070 gpu amd 5800 processor the same price as a lenovo 3060 gpu with i7 11th gen.
I thought that it could because the 3070 had a low tdp. But according to the seller, it is a 130w 3070 card.
Any idea what the catch could be?
It’s just a good deal. Some laptops have lower wattage on their GPUs and so can sell for cheaper than laptops with higher power GPUs. Aside from that though, you do have to see if the laptop has good thermals and other features. The best way would be to look at reviews and comparisons to get a good idea. Some YT vids show all the features and also compare performance in games. Sometimes the same wattage may not mean the same performance on different brands. I know Legion and Asus ROG laptops are good though. This is the link to the Legion 5 with 3070: https://www.amazon.ae/dp/B09SGD1RJH/?coliid=I3IDFONKMM2N1R&colid=3ID9B2CHDB2EY&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Screen is not too great (there are G15s with 144Hz displays that look better), but the battery life is excellent and has a high power 3060.
There’s also Legion 5s with 3050ti. Not as powerful, lower VRAM, but better screen and build for sure
Theres a better laptop on Amazon.ae with a 10th gen cpu and about the same price:
Yes i have seen these guys selling the TUF 3060's and 3060TI for super low prices. They look like such an obvious scam. the seller i saw doing it was CAKOK.

price: 4200. yh not Ryzen 7,but Ryzen 5 5600h is more than enough for gaming and unless you actually utilize the extra cores the difference is negligble.

hey, thought I'd help as I was in the same position a couple of weeks back.
Was planning to get a legion 5 with rtx 3060 but can't dish out 5500+ for it.
Luckily, I after a search in Amazon. I found this one https://www.amazon.ae/gp/product/B09QPT6TZJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and several days of reviewing later I decided to buy it. got it fo 3300 btw.
Been playing FF7, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk at max with no issue. FANS ARE LOUD. but then I discovered Whisper Mode in the settings and it's god sent, graphics still great without a jet engine blowing in my laptop.
PS. with the saved money, from getting a Legion 5, got a PS5 this week for 2300. Perfect combo!

the hyperx alpha is a solid choice for the price and the sound stage performance.

they go for 250 usually, maybe even lower on discount days.
MSI GF65 is a good choice for your budget.
https://www.amazon.ae/COLORFUL-i7-12700H-Graphics-DDR4-3200-Keyboard/dp/B09VGFGP8N/
That is also within your budget but with slower GPU. You do get the latest 12th gen Intel CPU, if that is what matters to you more.
Razer BlackShark V2 X - solid budget headset.
No, but you can find pretty cheap USB adapters
a good entry level headset , very good discounted price.

Yeah, its always a premium with new ones but honestly in dubai, i think if you are patient enough there are good enough people who throw hard earned things like ewaste , we can buy from.
buy yourself an Asus RT-AC68U. it's used by a lot of e-sports players, and me. tons of features, aimed at gamers, lowest possible ping.
lots of vids out there on the router but do take it from a former csgo pro player who relied heavily on this router performing on 2ms ping for the last 5 years.

That’s gotta be the apple version of monitors, 100hz 1440 ultra wide res, for 1400 USD…
You’re better off with Gigabyte G34WQC, VA panel for the colors that will contend with oled in performance and 144hz in the same resolution for the half the price of that monitor.
