    :) I just ordered myself one… Soooo Tempted to get a second one as its such a good deal. Looks like the peeps who hop on OzBarg early in the morning will be able to snap one of these up before they are sold out.

  • tomsco on 06/02/2010 - 01:21

    I'm very tempted (for the 6 cell battery alone), but unfortunately i'm going away next week.

  • GreenGuava on 06/02/2010 - 01:33

    Nope. It's not but it did include $20 worth of delivery costs. Still cheap for that spec. But… I think I just bought the last one. Thanks vid_ghost. Now I got my dad a present :) I was like you very tempted, but then I ended up buying the last one.. :)

      I posted the deal and yes i did get one for $289 online computers sell it for $359 as a standard price! so i dont see how $289 is so unbelievable it's just a really good deal

      • pw2002au on 06/02/2010 - 09:06

        Thanks - just checking as it looks as though they bumped the price back up … its a great deal and definitely a +ve from me @ 289

  • leesangyee on 06/02/2010 - 09:01

    it is a pricing error — the price got changed right before my eyes: one minute it was $289. after I clicked on it to add cart, it became $389. Then I went back to the main descriptive page and it got changed to $389…

    wtf

      Not in stock though. It's "On-order"

    i was about to buy it as well, it was 289 when i first open the site.. did some reading first and decided to buy it after 20mins of checking reviews and specs.. all of a sudden, price went up to 389!!!

      you should probably retract your vote then. :)

  • Benmc on 06/02/2010 - 09:36

    Just wondering. With the R620 they have on there. Does it come preloaded with Windows 7? Because that same laptop at MLN has Vista Preloaded and is only upgradable to Windows 7 by Disk.

    Haha, TopBuy Strikes Back. I wonder if they will offer to ship the one person who got it 3/4 of a laptop and a $5 limited voucher instead of what they bought. Now I can't wait for "Return of the TopBuy".

    Either way, definitely not a bargain if they only had a couple in stock at this price. Maybe we need a new category on here - Bait 'n Switch.

    • peter on 06/02/2010 - 10:17

    I've decided to revoke my vote as it's very hit and miss but congratulations to those who got the bargain. Perhaps there will be a round 3, which may last more than say 20 minutes where I could snap one up.

    • samfisher5986 on 06/02/2010 - 10:34
      +3

      Nobody got the bargain, they will be getting $5 vouchers which they can use on the overpriced items they sell but not on their steal of the days.

  • guezz007 on 06/02/2010 - 10:36

    I bought the EeePC S101 @ MLN 2weeks ago for 299 only. Same specs also even more beautiful!

  • Koonit on 06/02/2010 - 10:36

    Oh wasn't I pissed after reading the title of this bargain! :)

    I just ordered one yesterday for my little sister.. hundred dollars cheaper, I was ready to call up and complain!

    Hopefully it was a pricing error SOMEHOW.. Not sure why they'd change it half way through the deal for a limited amount of time. This is also the second time they've run the same deal & same price. Doesn't make sense..

    Can we get an official response from G_Man or another rep?

  • dishwasherlove on 06/02/2010 - 10:46

    Sounds terrible

  • saine on 06/02/2010 - 10:57

    • Koonit on 06/02/2010 - 11:05

      Bait 'n switch necessarily implies that Topbuy would offer a substitute item. Which in fact they have not.

      Hence the term "switch"

      • stumo on 06/02/2010 - 13:15

        Yeah, in topbuys case the switch is offering you half of what you purchased plus a $5 voucher.

        Agreed.

        I did see the deal last night (with no interest in purchasing) while selecting my items for a $200 odd purchase order. But guess what? Top Buy has just lost my custom on that order as I was going to place that order today. They're obviously a business who engages in shady business practices and cannot be trusted to keep their word. As far as I'm concerned, they are certain undeserving of our customer, well mine anyway.

        Being a repeat offender, I am boycotting them from now on, regardless of what deal they offer!!!!

    • Koonit on 06/02/2010 - 11:27

      You can't be serious.. They have offered some pretty unreal deals in the past once such deal I can think off the top of my head was the $179 22" LG Monitor to name one.

      They've only been operating for a short period as well..
      Compared to COTD, they're saints. :P

    I'm not so sure this was bait and switch. The unit was definitely available at $289+P/H last night when this deal was first posted, and it looked like it had been going since midday 5 Feb 2010.

    For those who are suggesting bait and switch, did the pricing change from $289 to $389 during the sale period (ie before noon today (6 Feb 2010)?

      What state do you live in? You do have rights in this sort of instance — the seller essentially has to rectify this situation for you. I recommend seeking out what tribunals are available for recourse. In Victoria, it's the Victorian Civil and Administration Tribunal.

  • cmcv on 17/02/2010 - 01:02

    Ok netbook is quite good, have all my apps on it now & deleted the rubbish stuff. Battery lasts as stated around 7hrs. Still have to change the ram to 2GB so when thats sorted it should be sweet. I see a higher capacity 3rd party battery is available on ebay so am tempted to maybe order this also as it wud prob be 10-12hrs for net usage & 14-17 for general document etc usage based on its current power consumption.

  • Koonit on 18/02/2010 - 00:54

    Absolutely awesome netbook! I got one for my sister for her birthday. She's really impressed with the quality of this unit as am I.
