        The base model 1.3ghz iMac is out of stock too. Pity you can't use the iMac as an external display for xbox, it would be amazing then.

        • sniper on 31/07/2014 - 10:14

          @deano: I think that only works from thunderbolt to thunderbolt (i.e. from Mac with thunderbolt display out into the iMac)

        • timmypete on 31/07/2014 - 16:03

          Target display mode has existed in two forms since 2009.

          From 2009-2011, you could use it with another Mac, mini-Displayport outputting devices, or HDMI devices (@720p) with an adapter installed.

          In 2011 Apple moved from mini Displayport to Thunderbolt, and now this feature is effectively computer-only, as there is no compatible adapter/signal converter.

          More details here, especially at point #6.

  • tomleonhart on 31/07/2014 - 08:44

    previous price $1439, new price $1299. Something tells me that's not 15% off.

  • forgivensinner on 31/07/2014 - 08:44

    what is the real difference between the models? … clock speed for previous gen is 2.4 ghz and now it's 2.6 ghz. Haswell processor?? Worth saving some $$ and getting older gen or newer gen?

    • webtherapist on 31/07/2014 - 08:51

      for the top range of 15" Retina model, it used to be $3199 with 2.3GHz, now is $2999 with 2.5GHz and was just released yesterday, so, not much different with this model but price, very good price for newest model lol

      • pull the lever on 31/07/2014 - 09:05

        Does this come with 512GB or 256GB SSD?

        • busterau on 31/07/2014 - 09:10

          The $2999 model comes with a 512GB as stated on the Specs page.

        • ozhunter68 on 31/07/2014 - 15:37

          The older lol MBPro 15" top model with the 2.3 Ghz. also comes with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M, 16GB Ram and 512 GB SSD, so at $2499 your only saving $50 for an 8 to 10% performance reduction. Hm,….

    • ShamelessBargains on 31/07/2014 - 09:05

      All 13" models now come with 8gb ram standard and all 15" models come with 16gb ram standard. The clock speed will make a very minimal difference but the upgrade in ram for the base 13" and 15" is worth it as the prices have not changed.

    Heh, just bought a 13" Air on Monday when it was still 10% off. Guess I'll call them and ask for the difference back. Does anyone have any experience with price protection from DSE?

    • Randxyz123 on 31/07/2014 - 09:57

      They won't let you I bet…

      • augv on 31/07/2014 - 10:23

        On the phone now, they've got no idea what I'm talking about. Yet on their website's price matching page, it says this about price matching with others: "Dick Smith will match a competitor's advertised price within 7 days of purchase if it complies with the conditions set out in the Price Matching Advertised Prices Policy."

        Not that hard, I would have thought.

        • Randxyz123 on 31/07/2014 - 10:30

          Just take it back to the store and say your circumstances have changed and you don't need it… They used to have a 14 day return policy….

        • augv on 31/07/2014 - 10:38
          +1

          @knick007: Bought it from their website, so with this being online only I didn't think I'd have an issue. They wanted nothing to do with it. Only $60 but the fact that they dismiss price protection for their own prices but not competitors is a joke.

  • Randxyz123 on 31/07/2014 - 09:57

    I bet they will start canceling orders for some bullshit reason…. Those who have ordered keep refreshing your email and of course once the order has been canceled, you need to get through to the idiots at the call center then the product you want will be out of stock….

    • highdealer on 31/07/2014 - 12:58

      If they are good enough to send us stuff for free and make a loss, not sure why they would bother canceling order that they will most definitely making a profit on.

  • cakesy on 31/07/2014 - 10:03

    The big differation between Macs is the specs, which for some reason Dick decides to hide on a second tab. Whereas these features should be front and center.

    There is a huge price difference between the 13 inch models, and that is hidden.

    • ozhunter68 on 31/07/2014 - 15:44

      Good point. That is if the exact specs for the model your looking at are listed at all. With the Mac Book Airs they just list a broad range of specs, and only really tell you the screen size, clock speed of CPU and size of SSD. A bit vague of both Dick Smith and also the way Apple likes and promotes their range of computers.

  • skeeo on 31/07/2014 - 10:09

    Do Apple Stores price match?

    • pull the lever on 31/07/2014 - 10:12

      Sometimes, they do. I've heard people successfully do it at the Sydney Store.

    • rmk on 31/07/2014 - 10:18
      +1

      In my experience only if the discount is 10% or less than the price they have listed. Have tried when it's been more and they've said no!

    • Randxyz123 on 31/07/2014 - 10:24
      +1

      No, physical stores won't go lower than 10% off(at least the Doncaster Apple Store won't). I've never had any luck with getting 15% off. According to the live chat person you can order by phone and they will price match most things. Individual stores are up to the manager of that store. Phone number is 133-622 if you want to try. They usually do these 15% off deals on the weekend so I've never bothered to call them because they won't be there but would be worth a try…

      • Obake on 31/07/2014 - 15:40

        really? I haven't been able to find a way to enter in the card details during checkout… or maybe vouchers are different from cards? I meant I have a gift card, not a voucher.

        • Cupa Bundy Drinker on 31/07/2014 - 15:53

          I've just paid with gift cards.

          Just check "I would like to use a Gift Card(see example)" at Checkout Page -> Payment Information.

          PS it was not available in their mobile (android) app a couple of weeks ago.

    I got the 2.6/128/8 13.3 MBPr for $1359. Went to the Apple store in Adelaide and would've paid $1440 for it, but they wouldn't price match after telling me over the phone they would. Screw them, if DS is willing to put up prices like these and honour them, they can have my business.

    I even told the Apple store staff that I would also be purchasing a Time Capsule and Applecare, they could not give a shit and told me to pay retail or go home empty handed.

    It seems the New Retina Macbooks have disappeared from the site with it been updated to full retail pricing, I am now waiting for the Price Error Email.

    I am pretty sure, those who purchased new models will not receive them (it undercuts the retail price too greatly…)

      I see you ordered the mid 13" rMBP. Check your screen for image retention. My base model 13" passed (A018 screen), but the mid model 13" failed (A020 screen). Both were ordered at the same time, and are the new model.
