  • smpantsonfire on 09/07/2014 - 12:53

    Maybe they are doing a Kmart and reducing the things they sell to the core items people want for cheap?

  • gccmelb on 09/07/2014 - 14:20

    No laptops at Sunshine or Highpoint.
    50% off laptops might be considered misleading by the ACCC.

      Damn, they're alright for 200 bucks. My old Dell Studio recently died and I'm kinda looking for a cheap, non-gaming lappy. This would do nicely.

      • bendover on 09/07/2014 - 14:52

    I can only find Dell laptops at my local stores. They don't know the model numbers. They are not clearly marked on the boxes. They don't know the specifications. It's a $200 lucky dip.

    Which is the best out of these two?
    Dell 15 CI3 notebook was $648, now $200. Model: 561202AU. SKU: 8262761
    Dell Inspiron 15ML was $578, now $200. Model: V561100AU. SKU: 8310106

    I copied this info from the BigW website. There might be errors. Ask for the SKU to figure out the model.

    BRAND / Model / CPU / RAM / HDD / OS / BigW SKU Code

      Good job, well done listing these for us. Whoever get's the i3's and i5's is doing well ( appart from you ). Even ex demo/display comes usually with 12 months manufacturers warranty. Good luck getting one early.

    Just in case anyone goes to Southland BigW for the new sale on today looking for cheap games and bedding……the catalogue says 100's of titles for games, they had about 20 different titles for xbox and vita with about 3 ds games. Bedding was even more of a disappointment. DONT BOTHER, THIS IS NOT A REAL 50% SALE i suspect they will all have this deceitful lie

      • McFly on 10/07/2014 - 17:47

        Yeah, just been to Southland - was wondering where everything was!

        At least I managed to get something for the boys.
        We were walking past the toy section and there was a racing car set they took a liking to.
        I said "I don't know, it's not on OzBargain (they know all about it)… I'll think about it."
        So we came back after looking for these non-existent bargains and there were sale stickers on the toys that weren't there minutes before!

  • Shoppingisfun on 10/07/2014 - 09:56

    Just been to Forest Hill…sold out.
    Box Hill, Waverley Gardens and Southland also sold out.
    Lucky for us my Mum got the last one in Bendigo!!! It's a Dell but not sure which one yet.

    • angelkulit025 on 10/07/2014 - 10:15

      wow,,you have been driving around VICTORIA just to get your hands on a laptop..lol

      • Shoppingisfun on 10/07/2014 - 10:25

        Haha!!
        Just drove to Forest Hill and phoned the others!
        Mum and Dad live in Bendigo so they kindly picked it up for me.
        Very limited stock…Forest Hill never had any, nor did Box Hill or Southland. Waverley Gardens and Bendigo each had 3 which were sold by about 915am. Seems it was just any old stock they had out the back they could sell for $200. Good luck to those still trying :)

          Yup I bought 1 in Bendigo, could have brodened the lot as I was in at opening, but took only 1 as that's all I needed and I did not want to be greedy. Saw a lady behind me take another (prob shoppingisfun's mum) and I think another went to a staff member because she saw how happy I was. Mine is new and sealed. Manufactured in late 2012 with win 8.

    Game selection absolutely atrocious, seems the same for most stores based on comments here. Only 3DS games on sale were kiddy crap and silly novelty type games (one had a picture of a red High Heel shoe on the front…), and they were still 10 bucks each. You could probably pick most up from EB pre owned for 5-10 bucks already… Very disappointing.

        • ozhunter68 on 11/07/2014 - 01:05

          Me too. Pentium B970 which is a decent 15" laptop CPU for the price. I have been using an Asus f501a with same CPU, 4 Gig RAM and a Samsung 830 SSD 120 Gig for over a year, and for web browsing, emails and playing some vids it does the job really well. It's a 35 W 32 nm running @ 2.3 Ghz Dual Core with no Hyper Threading like an i series, but performs still better than a lot of these new low voltage ( read also slower performance ). Has a Sandy Bridge HD Graphics, no new gaming there etc, but for usual video is fine, and has a PassMark score a whisker under 2000. To put that into context, that is nearly double of the very popular and respected Asus T100 running an quad core Atom Z3740 with a passmark score of 1071. Ok. it's about 90 % higher score. The Ram is only 2 Gig as opposed to 4 Gig in this Dell. A lot of new laptops under $600 , although most are a bit thinner and lighter, still struggle to match this grunt.

    OK I got one (Inspiron 15 (N5050)) at Brisbane CBD McArthur. A few people came right after me so they're probably all gone by now. Delivered to big w January 2012. But I'm not complaining for $200. More powerful and much better value than a current i3 NUC that would be $400 without an os, screen, DVD RW drive… And I just realized this came with an office 2010 license…. and SD card reader.

      What came with Office 2010 license? Where? I can't see it with my Inspiron 15 N5050.

      Edit: Thanks Phoebus, just found the Office 2010 activation key card included. I was googling on how to transfer my retail version of Office 2010 from an old Dell laptop (accidentally left by my dad in Brisbane) to this new laptop. Now I won't even need to bother since an OEM copy already installed. What a bonus :D

    Snapped up the second last laptop from BigW in Rouse Hill. $200 for the same computer I purchased 3 years ago. Saved over $400 so a good deal. The old one has a noisy fan so will be using the new one in future.

      Wow that was $238 deal that was ozbargained in minutes 2 years ago. Must be dead layby stock. My kids have them, they are okay but once you install all the windows security updates etc, they are bit slow. If you don't use them online, don't update and they are good speed. If you do use then, reboot them each now and then and they run fine for general use. Mine have been dropped from bench height a few times and still go strong. One runs pretty much 24-7, the other daily. Overall a great deal laptops for office, email and internet.

    if you want to install an ssd into these dells there is a video how to on youtube. A bit fiddly but looks easy enough. Undo all back screws then remove keyboard then remove mouse pad plate then hard drive is able to be accessed.

    • Phoebus on 11/07/2014 - 01:22

      Even more fiddly if your ssd is smaller than the OEM 500gb one. Have to install Windows from an windows disk as the dell recovery disc won't work.. Good way to make sure your system is free of dell bloat wear I suppose.

      • eug on 11/07/2014 - 12:13

        You can easily image a larger hard disk into a smaller one with software like Acronis True Image, as long as the used space fits of course.

    • cooperdog on 11/07/2014 - 12:01

      Another option would be one of these. Not sure if it makes life easier, but Windows on an SSD and the 500Gb drive for data is an option I would like.

          No, not for me but should be plenty of keen takers around here for under $300 I would say. I was able to grab a Dell Inspiron 3520 with a i3 2370m/500 Gig/ 4 Gig/ Blue Tooth/ W8 from Robina Big W for $200. They had one more similar with a still decent Intel B970/ W7 also for $200. Both brand new in unopened boxes. I did not take that one, but advised the helpful staff member to buy it as they are a real bargain. Not sure of the outcome, but he indicated that he would like to buy it. I think most of these laptops on the list that might have been on offer, including this Dell are a little older chaise, maybe a millimeter or two thicker ( trade off for a 6 cell batt. ), most with W7 ( for me and others that is a plus ), most probably only usb 2, still very good value for $200, and for those of us getting an i3 or i5 a great buy. Thanks OP.

      Psst paulaus, I think you can easily sell your second Dell to one of those fellow OzBargainers for $250 or more. Make some profit yourself ;-)

    Positive revoked - absolutely pile of crap. Big W Armadale (WA) - no laptops, no discounts on ink, no extra clearance games etc. Total waste of time.

    Just letting people know that the last Drll Inspiron 3520 for $200 that was left @ Robina today has been taken by a staff member. I called to grab it, was there still @ 3.30 pm when I called, but tried to get them to hold for me @ 4.45 pm and now gone. I should have grabbed both Thursday arvo, but had slight feelings of being a " BROADEN ."
