In Dubai, the best place to buy laptops is a place known as Computer Plaza in Bur Dubai. It is a mini mall full of loads of small shops selling nothing but electronics. If you know what you want and take cash, you can bargain a little too.

I don't know about US prices, but I bought my latest laptop (a business notebook with high spec) from a place there and it was several hundred pounds cheaper than in the UK, although part of the saving was down to not having to pay any VAT (sales tax).
