Went over to check out this headphones deal and saw the massive banner advertising $700 off their current price of $1,999 for this laptop. Only other place I could find with stock of this is JB at $1,998.
Wasn't in the market for one, but have googled the reviews and they seem pretty good: review and review. In summary, at the $1,299 pricepoint this looks like really good bang for portable gaming buck.
Banner says online only, so guessing you can't walk into their Parramatta store to purchase at the same price? Postage is free though. Might pop in to see it in the flesh and then order online. Not sure when the deal expires. Will update on look/feel and expiry when I go in and find out tomorrow.
