Mombasa laptop prices – what does a laptop cost in Mombasa?

It depends on what sort of laptop you are looking for, where you are seeking to buy it and how you are going about purchasing it.

If you are looking for a brand new laptop in Mombasa, you should be looking at something upwards of 35,000 to 50,000 (some of the high-end laptops in Mombasa go up to 100,000 and possibly even 150,000). Yeah, but for an ordinary laptop in Mombasa, you would be looking at that range – around 35k to 50k. So that applies for someone say, looking for brand new HP laptops in Mombasa or someone looking for brand new Dell laptops in Mombasa or yet still someone looking for brand new Lenovo computers in Mombasa. The dynamics are a bit different for someone looking for Apple laptops in Mombasa -- that is, the so-called Mac machines in Mombasa -- as those tend to be much costlier when brand new.

Of course if you are looking for a notebook, the price (for brand new) could drop to as low as 25,000.

If you are looking for a refurbished laptop in Mombasa – and indeed most of the laptops on sale in Mombasa seem to be of the refurbished variety -- then you would be looking at anything from 12,000 to 20,000.

If you are looking for a ‘third’ hand laptop in Mombasa (one that was originally brought in as a refurbished laptop, used by the original buyer for sometime and is now on sale), then you could be looking at anything from 8,000 to 10,000 though the reliability of such a machine may be dubious at best.

So what becomes clear is that in the Mombasa market, there are laptops for all budgets. You could get a laptop for as little as 10,000 and as much as 150,000.
