Myer Bonus gift card useful with notebook purchase. FYI: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/11148 tells us
"For every $500 gift card you purchase, you will get $50 bonus gift card
For every $1000 gift card you purchase, you will get $100 bonus gift card
i.e. 10% off. It could be useful for easter shopping or wait until financial year end sale. Deals last until 29/03/2009"
So the better value units in their catalog http://catalogues.myer.com.au/portal/ end up being:
15.4" $895 (995-$100 cashbk, plus free $105 bonus giftcard for later use) Toshiba Sat L300-0D5 T3400-2.16 2GB 250G. JB are doing this unit for $987 so could pricematch too..
15.4" $1079 (1179=$1079-$100 bonus giftcard) ASUS PRO50GL-36C T6400-2Ghz 2GB 320GB
16.1" $1559 (+bonus $150 giftcard for later use) Asus PRO61SL-6x013cs P8400-2.26 ATI 4570-512MB 3GB 320G
15.4" $1649 (1799-$150 giftcard when buy $1500 vouchers) HP DV5-1139TX T9500-2.53/3G/400BM/nv9600GT-512
Could also try the 15% off full price on ASUS with Myer One card though it ends today. Would bring it under $1000. https://www.myerone.com.au/myerone/downloads/Bullseye_email1…
