With the euro currency – dollar favorable, many are Spaniards who dare to visit Manhattan and, incidentally, make some purchases at more than tempting prices. Electronics is one of the main attractions, because already in itself is cheaper in New York and, in addition, with the change in our favour resulting price could be a bargain. But we have to be careful, because many European consumers associations have denounced that some Manhattan shops have no qualms in selling imitations of low quality of electronic products of prestige, so we will have to avoid shops that give us few guarantees. To buy electronics in Manhattan, the most prestigious shops are J & R Music and Computer World, in front of the Ayuntamiento (City Hall) and B & H Photo Video New York Store (at ninth Avenue between calles 33 and 34). J & R are specialized in electronics in general, cameras, mp3 players, portable computers (Laptops) while B & H specializes in photography and video.
Also purchased DVDs in us only work in devices of United States and Canada. If our goal is to buy a laptop, as well as J & R also you can visit Compusa who has a shop near the Empire State building and the other on 57th Street with 8 Avenue.Other interest stores are Best Buy on 23rd Street and 6 Avenue and also competes with Circuit City in Union Square. When you buy any electronic product in New York we have to take into account that this does not have to be equal to the ones we have in Spain. In United States the devices work with 110 volt power, while in Spain we have 220, and plugs are flat plug, while in Spain it is round. These problems can be solved with an adapter which transforms the current 220 volts and have round pins. But there is compatibility that are insurmountable, as the sign of the VCRs, that in United States is NTSC, while in Spain it is PAL, which means that camcorders, game consoles, and any device that uses video, not shall be compatible with appliances bought in Spain.
