Pricematch!!
Officeworks sell this unit for $1098. David Jones has it in their catalog for $989.10 as shown here http://www.davidjones.com.au/images/whs2009/19.jpg So buy from officeworks with a pricematch -5% makes it $940. Then obtain the Toshiba $100 cashback (ends 20/4 so must be quick)for a total of $840. I guess if you don't want to bother pricematching it at Officeworks, can grab it for $989.10 from David Jones - $100 = $889.10.

  • It would be difficult to pricematch it if you don't live in Melbourne, since that is where their only store is because of the company going broke and all.

    edit : Ah, now david jones. here is the catalogue link. http://www.davidjones.com.au/images/whs2009/19.jpg

    • Thank you! I've added the direct link to the David Jones catalog in the main text above.

  • JB Hi-Fi always have this for $987-997 and when they had 10% recently it was $897 then $100 cashback. I bought this a few weeks ago for $900 on 1000 days interest free. Will get $100 cashback, so $800 with nearly 3 years to pay it off with no interest. Happy to hear feedback on this computer though. Also I got them to make it 3GB instead of the 2GB RAM

  • Fairly borderline. I'm going to reserve judgement and search around before I cast my vote.

    • Next closest-priced units I was able to find being the ones below.

      15.6" $898 (after $99 cashback) Acer AS5735Z-422G25MN T4200-2.0/800 2G 250G VHP www.jbhifi.com.au/computers/laptops/

      If you can find a T3400 2GB 250GB notebook (or better) for less, please post at thread
      http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1180291 . The Acer unit represents comparative good value, though there are quite a few remarks about Acer quality on whirlpool threads. Buying from officeworks saves on courier costs too that would be associated with the above G530 unit. So overall, I think the $840 Toshiba L300/OD5 is a great buy. Comments above suggest maybe jb-hifi can do even better?
