The back-to-school page on the Xcite website is not an ordered price list but a marketing front, where the same item turns up in more than one tile. The only comparison that helps you is between the two prices written under each machine, not between the percentages.
The laptops on the page
- Acer Aspire Lite 15, Core i5, 16 GB, 1 TB: from KD 179.900 to 149.900, marked out of stock.
- Acer Aspire Lite, Core i7, same memory and same drive: from KD 204.900 to 179.900, available.
- Asus Vivobook 15, Core 7, 16 GB, 512 GB: from KD 239.900 to 184.900.
- Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, Ryzen 5, 16 GB, 512 GB: KD 169.900, with no struck-through former price.
- Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, Core Ultra 7, 15.3-inch screen: from KD 369.900 to 319.900.
Thirty dinars between two versions
The two Acer Aspire Lite models carry the same memory, the same drive and the same screen size, and the only stated difference between them is the processor: Core i5 against Core i7. The price difference is thirty dinars. And the cheaper one is the one marked out of stock — which settles the choice in practice.
Beyond laptops
- HP OfficeJet Pro 8123 all-in-one printer: from KD 44.900 to 39.900.
Before you order
The page shows the same machine in more than one tile across different sections, so it appears twice as though it were two offers. The Asus Vivobook 15 is the example: two tiles, one price. And there is no announced end date for the promotion anywhere on the page.
