Hi all, I've been looking for a gaming laptop recently and I'm pretty sure this is the best bang for buck brand new gaming laptop you're going to get for around this price. The total price includes fully insured shipping as well. I'm trying to find out if we have to pay import taxes or not, so if anyone can help me with that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Eurocom are running an Australia Loves Everyone promotion, so us Aussies get a 10% discount from this company, which is great :) just put the coupon code into the custom configuration information box.

This model is customisable but the base cost does contain the GTX 970M, which is powerful enough to run most modern games on high setting. It's cheaper than what you can obtain over here from local stores.

Specification -
Processor: on-board; Intel Core i7-4710HQ; 6M Cache; up to 3.50 GHz; integrated HD 4600 GPU
VGA Technology: on-board; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M (4GB DDR5) or GTX 970M (3GB DDR5)

Storage: up to 4 physical drives: 2x M.2 2280 SSD SATA3 6Gb/s (or 1x M.2 2280 PCIe 2x/4x SSD and 1x M.2 SATA3 SSD) and 2x HDD/SSD SATA3 6Gb/s and with Intel Rapid Start Technology; Intel Smart Response Technology and RAID 0/1
Card Reader: 6-in-1: MMC/RSMMC/SD/mini SD/SDHC/SDXC; Push-Push
Keyboard and Touchpad: Backlit full size keyboard with numeric pad; TouchPad with multi-gesture and scrolling; W/A/S/D Gaming key

    Over $1000 AUD. need to pay customs duty.

    • karath on 11/02/2015 - 18:59

      Is it 10% of the total price?

      • plmko on 11/02/2015 - 19:55

        Including the shipping.

      • Nousernamehere on 11/02/2015 - 19:56

        You have to add duty fees on top of the price you pays the GST on the total of that, so it's more like 15-16% more in top of the price you already pay - http://www.customs.gov.au/faq/DutyGST.asp

        Edit - actually from reading on another site, laptops and other electronics don't have duty fees applied apparently?

        • ycon on 14/02/2015 - 19:18

          what other site? Source please- I'm about to order

      • ycon on 25/02/2015 - 21:13

        10% off before shipping.

  • thelastnoob on 11/02/2015 - 19:04

    wrong price after adding gtx 980

    • ev3nfl0w on 11/02/2015 - 19:07

      Yep, add another $295.00 for the GTX980 over the 970.

      You gotta also add a few more $ preferably for some more Ram (only comes with 8GB) as well as a SSD hard drive (default is a 500gb Hitachi)

      All in all - might be better with the Horize deal from Logical Blue from a few days back especially when you gotta pay customs duty on top.

  • Kanasuke on 11/02/2015 - 19:49

    For such a high spec laptop don't you want a 17" screen?

    • tonyjzx on 11/02/2015 - 20:17

      Weight: M5 Pro (15.6") 2.6kg / 5.72lbs
      M7 Pro (17.3") 3.2kg / 7.04lbs w/ battery

      ehhh i'll take the 15" because i'd want to take it places

  • Aethelbert on 12/02/2015 - 00:51

    No metal bottom cover on the GTX 980M model. Only on the 970M model. Only adds 3mm of thickness or so.

  • ycon on 14/02/2015 - 12:55

    I am considering ordering.

    I ordered a laptop from the USA last year (for $1200) from HIDEvolution. I didn't have to pay duty- so I presume he just wrote on the customs form that it was worth less than $1000?

    Has anyone ordered?

  • mightyfes on 24/02/2015 - 11:06

    Anyone end up buying this? Wondering if you got your laptops yet and if everything was good.

    • ycon on 25/02/2015 - 21:11

      Mine is being built as we speak. Incredibly powerful laptop for the price if you're willing to forfeit local warranty.

      I took the gamble.

      • mightyfes on 28/02/2015 - 17:59

        I ended up with Alienware 15 inch with 970m and i7 for $1800. Had a 16% coupon and with the base model if you change the graphics card to 970m first then change the processor to i7 it ends up being cheaper than if you pick the higher model with the same stats. Found the trick in whirlpool; super stoked.

        PS: Dell took my Amex card which gives me extended warranty and a few reward points. The same stats with metabox was going around $19xx for me.
