    • Agret on 25/04/2013 - 22:12

      The reason these laptops are going so cheap is because they are old Windows 7 models, say what you will about Windows 8 but it's made all the existing models go down in price considerably.

      • Baghern on 27/04/2013 - 00:57

        Haha no, its because the computer industry is too competitive. New laptops are now starting to have the option for Win 7. People are avoiding win 8 laptops, its a horror.

  • aiyoyo on 25/04/2013 - 12:19

    how is this compared with yesterday "ASUS VivoBook 15.6" i3 4GB RAM Ultrabook w/ 2GB Dedicated Gfx" deal?

    • aznsniper on 25/04/2013 - 12:27

      I would class this a proper ultrabook due to the weight of 1.73kg. This has only integrated graphics however. Racks link below is a pretyt good deal

  • rack on 25/04/2013 - 12:19

    This one is also good. Comes down to $450 if you trade in an old laptop.

      Yes, it should. It's an ultrabook and it has Core i5, so should qualify for the trade in. Obviously ask and make sure before handing in your cash. Now I really wish I had a suitable old laptop!

      As long as it has this code, Toshiba U840/015 14 NBK and SKU PSU4SA-015005, then yes.

      Also the trade in must be:
      1. Working
      2. less than 5 years old
      3. >13"
      4. have adapter and Battery.

        So yesterdays is better for photo and video edit due to better graphics card? I'm sorry I'm not across the graphics spec.

        Also checked HN returns policy and they don't allow returns for change of my mind even though I have not received the laptop yet and it is pickup in store so I'm done with them and won't bother buying from them again (unless it is really a deal for professionals).

      That is what i am worried about

    • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 25/04/2013 - 15:53

      and take note in the terms and conditions…if they are not satisfied with the condition or age of the trade-in, they are allowed to make you an "offer" or will post it at their cost back to you.

      Not worth the risk to attempt to trade in an old dud.

          +3

          The way I found the r500 was to order by newly listed and buy it now only then look for anything with a core 2, find out the processor model number and then go to the intel site and look at the launch date (the processor in the r500 that i got was launched June 2008 so I'm safe).

          It can be very hard to find out when a specific laptop was first manufactured so going based off CPU seems a lot safer.

        • ev3nfl0w on 25/04/2013 - 19:24

    The cashback requires exactly a 13" screen. So I won't bother and imo this cashback process has way too many conditions.

    • chiefbodge on 25/04/2013 - 22:38

      Nope, over 13": "The laptop you are trading in must be fully operational, less than 5 years old & have a screen size over 13 inches."

      • MrBillions on 25/04/2013 - 22:45

        yes sorry i was wrong. my mistake. Again, too many conditions, then also postage to send it in…too hard. HN should just accept the old laptop in store and provide the discount on the spot. Too many hoops to jump through to get the cashback and you don't know exactly if your old laptop is accepted. What are they going to do with these laptops anyway? Surely they end up in the recycling system or bin?

        • mattie on 25/04/2013 - 23:40

    For your Trade-In Device to qualify for the full Trade-In Rebate it must, as determined by the Promoter, meet the Trade-In Criteria. If your Trade-In Device does not meet these conditions then your Trade-In Device will be either:

    (a) valued by the Promoter for a fair amount and the Promoter will notify you of that fair amount. You will have 10 days to accept or decline the Promoter's proposed revised Trade-In Rebate. If you do not reply to the Promoter, the Promoter will automatically accept the proposed revised Trade-In Rebate and process it for payment to you. If you decline the revised Trade-In Rebate, then the Promoter will return your Trade-In Device to you;

    (b) returned to you at no cost.

    • boxall on 27/04/2013 - 20:26

      I purchased mine after yours I think.No phone call.

      So same price??? If so you got a better computer (less mem though)…..well done!

      Better graphic card, but heavier?

      • lopied on 28/04/2013 - 06:20

        I got it for the same price, personally i probably would have preferred the U840 as i am not a big fan of Win8, but after a fews hrs of using it yesterday and it is a learning curve compared to the other OS i am starting to get the hang of it.
        The differences the 940 & 840 that i am aware are:
        940 has a 2meg dedicated graphics card were the 840 had 1meg,
        940 has 4meg ram on board, the 840 has 8meg, im told the 940 is upgradeable
        940 has Win8, 840 has Win7
        and reading boxall review the 940 is plastic construction were the 840 is metal, i dont have a problem with that and wouldnt have noticed if i hadnt read the review.
        Overall not a bad Ultrabook,
        I got mine from HN QV Melbourne.

    • chiefbodge on 27/04/2013 - 22:45

      Same, really hope they can fulfil it - very scared now. Will be pissed if they don't as I would've bought a useless r500. Luckily no phone call yet though.

      Edit: that said if they offer me the u940 with the nvidia gt 630m it's not too bad - comes with windows 8 which I personally see as a positive. If they try to offer the i5 with integrated intel graphics only or an i3 though it's no deal.
