Questions & answers
When do back-to-school deals start in the Gulf?
Early August for stationery and uniforms, with laptop bundles peaking in the two weeks before term starts, late August in most GCC school calendars.
Laptop bundle or standalone laptop, which is cheaper?
If you need Office and a bag anyway, bundles at Jarir and eXtra usually beat buying separately. If you only need the machine, marketplace codes on Noon and Amazon often win.
