          9,000 lines of codes is far more than required. 4,000 tops; including the sense_of_humourx86 v0.1 alpha update. Apparently they had to roll it back due to massive incompatibility with the rest of his consciousness.

        • ausooi on 28/04/2014 - 21:35

          From [Customs.gov.au] (http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page4646.asp)

          To claim a refund you must:

          • Spend $300 (GST inclusive) or more in the one store and retain your invoices.
          • Have purchased the goods no more than 60 days before your departure from Australia.
          • Wear or carry the goods on board the aircraft or ship and present them along with your original tax invoice, passport and international boarding pass to a Customs and Border Protection Officer at a TRS facility.
        • congo on 29/04/2014 - 14:18

          For TRS you cannot bring the laptop back.

      Horize W230SS. We are doing some bulk buying on this model to secure an excellent price. I will update the site when that product is live. I would approximate around the $1300 mark.

    • Store Repjackkel @ Logical Blue One on 28/04/2014 - 17:41

      Sorry, no. nVidia is not refreshing the 745m card unfortunately. So there is no updated model to the W840SN. It has effectively been discontinued.

  • zan5hin on 28/04/2014 - 16:29

    For the price - it is an interesting option. However, I am waiting for release and reviews of the GS60 2PE Ghost Pro 3K Edition which while obviously a higher price than listed above at around USD$2100 plus shipping, it is a much better machine and not much more when you add up all the extras.

    The store rep recommend the 95% Gamut and the AC wireless upgrades on the Horize. If you add those, plus all the other extra the GS60 has:
    12GB RAM, 2x128GB SSD + 1 TB 7200rpm, Windows 8.1 - the Horize would cost $1903.

    Yet the GS60 has an IPS 3K screen instead of 1080P, weighs 30% less, has an 870M which will most likely be Kepler, which among other things doubles the battery life while playing games. Also I assume it will run cooler and quieter.

    While the GS60 has some flaws (touchpad, fan profile when not gaming), for the extra $500 (shipping + GST) it is still a better option. I don't think people dropping money on a gaming laptop want to get second best. Just look at all the poorly specced, high priced gaming laptops for sale on ebay. Every 6 months they just get faster and lighter, faster and lighter.

    • Hellfire on 28/04/2014 - 16:37
      +3

      The W355SS compares more with the MSI GE60 than the GS60. If you want a high gaming spec laptop from Clevo then you need to look at the P151SM1-A, P150SM-A, and above.

      And I think you are confused with Kepler and Maxwell. Maxwell is the cooler and more power efficient version.

      You can spend a really large amount of cash on a gaming laptop but this being Ozbargain I think people want a good bang for buck laptop. That is exactly where this model fits in.

      • congo on 28/04/2014 - 17:05
        +2

        IMO I wouldn't spend $2K+ getting a highend Alienware or similar laptop. It will get old real fast.
        Something like this at the $1200-$1400 mark is much better value.

        Better to save your money and upgrade your laptop more frequently.

        I upgrade post June every year (for tax).

        • flipden on 28/04/2014 - 17:37

    Great deal! I think i'll upgrade the screen but one question is: Anyone knows if I should upgrade the Wireless card to AC? Now I don't see AC Wifi in many places so will it give me better wifi performance if the router is only a wireless N or lower?

      Probably not. It already comes with a dual band Intel card.
