      no stylus

    • eug on 27/09/2013 - 11:35

      This one would be better for those who want a Wacom stylus for notes, annotation, or sketches.

      • jakentta on 03/10/2013 - 09:08

        What's a good sketching software? I've never had a stylus before, but want to try it. Obviously works in Paint, but that's not very sophisticated. I downloaded Autodesk Sketchbook Pro trial version, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work. It installs and launches fine, all the toolbars are there, but where (I think) I should see the actual canvas or the drawing surface, there's just some garbled colourful mess. Don't know what's wrong there and haven't had the time to try and figure it out. But could someone recommend some other good sketching software? Preferably freeware, if such exists.
        About the tablet itself, I've got to say I'm pleasurably surprised with the battery life and the keyboard feel. The speed of the internal SSD could be better though. Any ideas if it could be replaceable?

      Correct. It's been on Ozbargains all morning so don't complain that you didn't have the oppotunity to pick one up ;)

      • cornucopia on 27/09/2013 - 12:02

        Aaahhh…it was first posted 35 mins ago and 21 mins before your comment. All morning I think not. Truth is it was out of stock when posted to Oz B.

  • jasey_328 on 27/09/2013 - 11:52

    It seems to be rather discreetly popped back up to $699…

    http://www.dicksmith.com.au/computers/netbooks-ultrabooks

    pricing error very possibly, but it's also part of the weekend deal so not sure..

  • draistlin on 27/09/2013 - 11:57

    so far it looks like the price is still at $349 though it is out of stock, so hopefully its not a pricing error.

  • klosez on 27/09/2013 - 12:26

    I can confirm this not a pricing error. Just saw the same deal at my local Dick Smith.
    So check your local store if you are interested.

    • furythree on 27/09/2013 - 12:47

      nice thanks for the heads up

  • draistlin on 27/09/2013 - 13:04

    which store did you see it at, as i'm not seeing the option for click and collect, only home delivery.

  • jakentta on 27/09/2013 - 13:09

    I can confirm that they indeed are selling it at the stated price and there is still stock somewhere. I Just went to my local DSE (Shepparton VIC), pointed out the deal from their own web site and bought the laptop. Seems pretty nice, even comes with a stylus and a leather folio case. I still hate Windows 8, but other than that seems like a great deal for the price.

    • krisspy on 27/09/2013 - 13:43

      Did it come with the keyboard dock?

      • jakentta on 27/09/2013 - 13:53

        Ah yes, didn't notice that was being questioned originally. But yes, it certainly did come with the keyboard. It feels pretty decent too. I haven't had any trouble with the touch screen responsiveness, it feels fluent and accurate and it does work on the desktop side also.

        • superforever on 27/09/2013 - 13:58

          I could not find a reason to buy it. I have two iPads, two laptops, 2 desktops, 2 HTPC, Nexus phone, 2 Kobo Glo :p

          All I do is checking emails, facebook, browsing and of course the most important is to check ozbargain :)

        • furythree on 27/09/2013 - 14:15

          go to tablet pc forums and make sure you have the latest stable drivers

          the update tool doesnt have the latest ones

          there is a bug with the touchpad on the dock where it disables once you undock

          you have to manually enable via function key

        • krisspy on 27/09/2013 - 14:25

          Thanks for clarifying that, with wacom + the dock this is a really good price.

          Still trying to talk my way out of buying this since i've already got an i5 tablet…

        • furythree on 27/09/2013 - 16:21

          which one?

          i just went to Top ryde DS and bought one
          they guy said he had a returned unit out the back and possibly 1 left

          Sydney CBD DS only has a display unit left for anyone that cares

  • chetsme on 27/09/2013 - 13:15

    guys, confirmed that there is no pricing error. parramatta store has few in stock and a big sign of 50% off.
    I was about to buy but didn't buy it after some unsatisfactory results. such as mouse not responding properly, touch screen was not impressive, when changed to desktop mode in window 8- I found touch screen not working. only in tiled window touch screen working. may be all these problems because it was a display model.

    • furythree on 27/09/2013 - 14:16

      and cause they didnt update the drivers

  • draistlin on 27/09/2013 - 15:29

    just received a email stating that its shipped, very happy i didn't end up pulling the trigger on a note 10.1.

    • Haemoglobin on 27/09/2013 - 15:45

      Still waiting on mine

      • x0b0k7x on 27/09/2013 - 16:02

        What time did u order? I only have "order acknowledged"…

        • Haemoglobin on 27/09/2013 - 16:26

          27 September 2013 11:13:24 AM EST , I have same thing

  • vinnycol on 27/09/2013 - 16:10

    Scored one in store earlier this arvo at West Lakes in Adelaide. One left plus display unit after my purchase….

  • draistlin on 27/09/2013 - 16:25

    order confirmation was 10:30 am, shame you can't see what stock is available, as its been confirmed that there is stock remaining instore. I guess the best option would be to call a store and ask them where there is stock. BTW, where abouts do i go to download the latest drivers, someone mentioned tablet pc forums…

    • CheapCoffee on 27/09/2013 - 16:48

      My order "acknowkedgement" was at 10:27 this morning… still haven't been confirmed yet :(

    • CheapCoffee on 27/09/2013 - 17:37

      hey, would you mind if i ask what your order number was? Mine is #100069973

  • econzune on 27/09/2013 - 16:33

    Sydney's Broadway store had 4 by 2.30pm, I grabbed one of them.

    Seems good value, but before opening it I would like to know how the performance is, say compared to an iPad 3 or 4 in terms of doing some basic things? Is the Atom so slow that it is no fun operating this tablet or is it fine to write a letter in Word and watch a movie using VLC player? How about surfing using Chrome? I guess I will find out later today…

    • Ahan on 27/09/2013 - 16:54

      Will struggle when multitasking, which iPad is not capable of.. So if you keep doing one thing at a time. It will be fine.

      • eug on 28/09/2013 - 03:01

        You'll be surprised, it doesn't struggle with light multitasking of basic apps like web browsers on normal websites and MS Office.

        You might be thinking of the oldschool Atom netbooks which were horrible at multitasking. Or anything, really.

        • Ahan on 28/09/2013 - 06:42

          Fair enough. I was seriously considering getting this but I got a ex demo missing charger Macbook air for only $460 yesterday with full warranty.

    i think the comments mentioned in the previous ozbargain deal are pretty good, http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/117338, for $600 i wouldn't have bought it as baytrail is coming out, but for $349 i think its pretty good value for what it can do.

  • fungi79 on 27/09/2013 - 18:42

    Had no use for it since I've already got 2 laptops and a tablet but I've wanted a Wacom for ages so that got me over the line. Biggest ozbargain impulse buy yet.

    Bought one at the Burwood store at 5:30, might still be a few left + display unit.

  • tg on 27/09/2013 - 22:06

    Thanks OP.
    This is a very good deal!

    larger screen size than normal 10"
    keyboard dock
    warcom pen

    I am glad that I did not buy ME400C from Dicksmith when it was $399

  • JR63 on 27/09/2013 - 22:49

    I was able to pick up one from Highpoint at around 5pm. Was tempted at waiting for the baytrail, but I really wanted the Wacom pen.

  • paulaus on 28/09/2013 - 12:27

    Its $50 more to get 1 year extra warranty do you guys think its worth adding it on .

    This is the most useful demonstration video I found:

    Yes, photoshop takes a long time to load, but everything else looks great I think.

    • Ahan on 28/09/2013 - 20:09

      Very nice!

  • dimagiba on 28/09/2013 - 16:54

    Went to Sydney Westfield store but they were out of stock. I was able to get one on order, though. They should have it ready for collection it in about a week's time. BTW, this deal expires tomorrow.

  • paulaus on 29/09/2013 - 17:25

    I bought one friday and used for 2 days and when i turned up to full brightness it was very bright. But today at full brightness it was a lot darker, i took it back and got another one. Asus live update updated it this morning maybe that caused the problem, anyone else notice this.

    • CheapCoffee on 30/09/2013 - 20:24

      Ummm, I had a similar problem, but when I turned autobrightness off, it went back to normal :)

  • superforever on 01/10/2013 - 13:31

    Expired, now they put it back on their site but $599

    • superpete on 01/10/2013 - 13:39

      Indeed, looks like thats the price in store too.

  • Haemoglobin on 01/10/2013 - 15:06

    Anyone have their order shipped yet?

    • Haemoglobin on 02/10/2013 - 15:26

      edit: Tablet is on backorder :(

  • superpete on 02/10/2013 - 20:34

    I don't suppose anyone knows if it's possible to still get that price? Or a similar price from a different retailer?

  • Haemoglobin on 03/10/2013 - 16:45

    Just got koganned by Dicksmith. No stock available, asking what else I would like to purchase instead

    • superforever on 04/10/2013 - 11:19

      Wait for Asus T100 Baty Trail this month.

  • samlor on 07/10/2013 - 23:32

    For anyone who missed out, I have a spare unopened one that I am willing to sell at cost + postage if necessary. I live at postcode 2035 and work in the Sydney CBD and I have been playing email ping-pong with the store who processed my on-line order and charged my credit card despite telling me they would cancel the order as requested over the phone so I could buy it in-store instead. I only wanted one.

    • ppduck on 11/10/2013 - 13:17

      hi i m interested, can we discuss in email please?
      [email protected]
      thanks

    • samlor on 12/10/2013 - 12:51

      FYI, sold it yesterday to another OzBargainer.

  • ChrisAnderson on 12/10/2013 - 12:42

    Hi,

    I am also interested if you still have it or someone else have one. My email address is [email protected]
    thanks
