    If buying it elsewhere is an option, probably do that. Low-tech stuff is stupid cheap in the third world, high-tech stuff tends to be even more expensive.

    probably troll post but whatever.

    go to a market and look for whats available. availability of pretty much every laptop model is unpredictable besides maybe macbooks.

    learn what computer specs mean and play it by ear or get a knowledgeable friend/relative to pick one for you.

        i mean an iraqi would probably know the answer to this already.

        i can’t a picture a real life person, who would expect a useful answer to this question here.

          Did OP say they’re Iraqi? People are sometimes new to a place, staying there temporarily, just want to know, or are asking for someone else. Sure it’s a weird question and not likely to get a good answer here, but it’s infinitely better suited for this community than the constant stream of support posts.

            They did not even mention which city or village they are located in right now (or plan to visit)

            I can not believe a person exists that actually looks through Lemmy posts to determine what laptop to buy in some mystery area in Iraq. It’s kind of a funny post tho.

    What are some good laptops…

    Well as you can see here, I’ve created a list of the top 1000, you can sort by screen size, pixel density, GPU, CPU, Operating System, Price, or a wide variety of…

    that are cheap in Iraq.

    Nevermind. Literally no idea about market forces in the laptop market in Iraq.

    It’s probably easier to do your laptop search and then compare prices in Iraq - ‘good’ and ‘cheap’ are both relative terms. Once you define what a ‘good’ laptop is, then look for something at least that good or better, and find the cheapest one from that set.
