Best Computer Shops In Nairobi
So what are the best computers / laptop shops in Nairobi. Based on the parameters we had discussed earlier, i.e, Price, Stock size and quality, here are some of the best . This list is not exhaustive but at least contains the main ones.
Bright Technologies.
Located along Kimathi street opposite New Stanley hotel, Bright Technologies computer shop has probably the largest stock of laptops and computer accessories in Nairobi. They have laptops with price ranging from low, to very high. Their laptops have different operating systems and you choose what suits you. Their prices are very competitive compared to other computer shops in Nairobi.
Another plus for them is the customer service offered. Staff are always available to offer assistance and clarification and are also sure not to be obstructive when you need to do some window shopping alone. When planning to buy a laptop, this is the first place you should step into. Their website is also quite something.
However, this is not the place to come shop for a desktop PC, they have almost completely specialized in laptops.
Ebrahim Electronics
Directly opposite Bright Technologies, is Ebrahim Electronics. This is one place you cant miss. They are always ahead of the park when it comes to latest gizmo. Unlike Bright, here you will find numerous Apple products. With about sh 100,000, you will get yourself an apple computer at Ebrahim. They occasionally have sales on selected products and this is a perfect time for you to grab yourself something from Ebrahim, because any other day is not very good.
This is one place where you should visit if you are in need of accessories such as flash disk. Theirs are straight from the manufacturers and often come with warranties.
PC World
You cannot talk of laptops in Nairobi without talking of PC World. This place has a big name but I cannot say the same of their stock, last time I checked in. Located along Mpaka road, Westlands, and at the Yaya Centre, PC World is synonymous with top of the range laptop computers. That may explain why I did not love their prices. You may visit them to window shop, but to shop, nah nah.They also have a nice website you may visit.
Other computer shops you may visit include the following:
Bestsell Computers Limited,
along Karathi street :-
reasonable prices.
Arctic Computer Shop,
2nd Floor Kenwood house, Kimathi Street.
Dont expect to find the latest here.
Starcomms Computer.
Norwich Union Hse, 1st Flr Mama Ngina Street
Not a wide range but does not hurt to pay a visit. Prices are average.
This are a few shops located mostly within the CBD of Nairobi. Other suburbs have numerous computer shops and physical window shopping is always best.
