Some good electronics deals
I just bought a new plasma over the weekend for a really good deal. LG just reduced their plasma prices a few days ago and they’re the best I have seen. I purchased the 42″ PG20 model (contrast ration 25,000:1) for only KD275 while the 50″ version is selling for KD445. I am not a big fan of LG but my dad purchased one awhile back and when he found a problem with it (used to turn on by itself in the middle of the night) their customer service was extremely good and they swapped the TV for him with a new one no questions asked.
The Acer Aspire One laptop deal is back at Alghanim Electronics. After running out of stock on the low end Aspire One (512MB RAM, 8GB HD) the machines are back in stock and are selling for KD79. I saw two colors on display, white and a blue. Just to give you an idea on how good this deal is, the same laptop with the same specs is going for KD88 on Amazon without tax.
Just to add to this I noticed Alghanim have now started selling Alpine and Rockford Fosgate car sound systems. I wish they had started selling them a few months back when I had to purchase all my items from online.
So Mark,
Is the LG going to your home gym??
yaa man got all ma stuff 2 from alghanim for alpine sound system
but have u noticed th 15 inch sub for around 98kd or something but the sad thing they dont have that big amp to support it..
and 1 more thing while buying these stuff chk everything cuz when i took my alpine player for my car fucking no remote with it so sad and was shocked cuz when i asked the sales man before he told me there will be remote with it. and den he went to the back store to chk it and found out none of them had remote with them in the stock but there is and there has to be 1 with it
Kadavul: no for my gym i got a small 21inch regular LG tv for KD40
LG always breaks down thats why the dont ask qustions
lol i hope not!
I have a plasma lg for last 4 years with no problem.
Gust are selling lenovo’s for 55kd for their students
wow thats cool
Mark,
which shop (&location) did you get the LG screen from?
Is it plasma or LCD?
thx :)
Its a plasma and i got it from the LG dealership in the old salmiya near Alghanim Electronics.
i bought the acer last month it was amazing but there is a small problem i hope that u know how to fix it
the firefox views the arabic font in a very stange font.
hamad:
i think my friend change it by downloading arabic font package on linux or something like that.
I just want to know why when kuwaities ask their government for rising there saluries or or for some ( tamween ) products all the arab people askes to be dealed with them like the same?
mark .. its not personal .. but most of non-kuwaities will conider you like rick james used to say .. I AM RICH B**** ! .
:)
Tell me congrats guys!
I broke the piggy bank and went & bought the LG 42′ LCD.
359KD with wall bracket.
I did some research over the web to compare LCDs & plasmas.
Its an endless debate with variables such as what use you will use it for, size of room, amount of light in room,
Im 50% games, 30% DVD, 20% cable TV, 4×4 entertainment room, no light.
Therefore, for me its best to take the LCD.
Now that the TV is here, next on the list is the magic receiver.
Laterz ;)
i dunno bout LG..ive heard for plasma, go panasonic.
for LCD, go sony, samsung or even sharp aquous!
congrats on the tv!
Regarding the Acer! with what is available these days this is NOT A GOOD deal anymore!
for $345 you can get the new Eee PC 900HD with 160GB hard disk YES 160GB .. and 1 GB RAM
That is a Great Deal !
forgot to give the link http://www.amazon.com/900HA-8-9-Inch-Netbook-Processor-Battery/dp/B001GIPSAM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1225649681&sr=8-1
I got the Acer Aspire 1 a while back, but im facing the same problem with the arabic fonts and typing in arabic as well….can someone recommends a site that I can download these things from….also….will the linux system accept the zain e-go? or do I have to only rely on wi fi?
thanks
Mark tell your dad that he has the auto-on option set to “ON”.
just disable it and he will be fine, I had the same problem and I thought that my room was haunted.
HeartBeat , thanks for the link ; )
Yes, these laptops are cheaper these days and frankly, I usually find many good deals outside amazon. Actually, amazon is the last place I check, that’s IF I check.
Acer Aspire One 120GB/1GB is for 94KD ($349.99) No tax, free ship: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115499&CMP=AFC-C8Junction
Asus Eee PC 160GB/1GB is for 91KD ($339) No tax, $10 ship: http://www.mobileadvance.com/product.php?productid=398
The LG Scarlet Edition looks nice as well. Gonna pick that up in the States for a house warming gift. Check it out on display at The Avenues!!
i want to buy Acer as well! and it will be used for work during long working hours.
Will it perform? compared to Dell because dell is the best for work routine, long lasting! and very rare it gives a problem.
I am not sure about this Acer that you guys are talking about. but the price looks good so please advise!
:)
Hey Randy! I got the LG Scarlet a couple of months ago…. I am so in love with it… I just wish I got a larger one ;)
Most of you are talking about LG, but I have a comment related to Acer Aspire One… I managed to buy that abt 1,5 weeks ago with 79 KDs. Actually, I bought 2, one for myself and one for my daughter.
I have been MORE than satisfied with ACER. I used Linpus Linux for couple of days and then attached external CD and installed XP Pro… Now I enjoy it even more :) And of course I bought 8GB SD card to be a storage expansion, so now I have 16GB SSD.
Now, I just need to get 512MB/1GB soDIMM to expand RAM… Any idea where can I get that? Hawally of course, but if I want to get quality one? Any idea about the price? In Finland 1GB Kingston soDIMM meant for Acer Aspire is less than 20Euros…
BTW, XP tells me that I have dual core Aspire :)
Something is wrong, my comments aren’t being posted :|

please help
so i should assume that i will be ok if i buy Acer, 79 KD for working purposes. Or are there any other good deals in stores around Kuwait?
Thanks!
The TV turning on/off in the middle of the night is ghosts.
i have no tv. & was wondering if there’s any experience shopping @ electgazone or someting like that. they are located off the 60 between 5 & 4 ring? visiting the showroom last night it was very crowded & the prices seemed okay like 300kd for an Akai 42″ LCD. i noticed a bunch of “PRC” china branded tv’s & stuff, tons of PC laptops.
300KD for an Akai when you can get an LG for 275? Doesn’t sound like ok prices..
hi! I’m new to q8..and that sounds like a good deal..
so how do you get to the LG delearship from fahaheel?
thanks..
thanks Mark for this post

and mention please that u bought this T.V from SALMIYAH showroom :):) and they have the best salesman ever u can see in the whole LG showrooms, and i advice Bhavana to come to salmiyah showroom and to check out our T.V’s because we are the biggest showroom and we do have the whole LG T.V models.

HI Mark
I would like to know, what you think about the Rockford Fosgate gear. As i plan to upgrade my car stereo. Do you have any recommendations for good places to install.
