    FREE Upgrade to Intel 8260 AC Dual Band Wi-Fi, FREE Upgrade to 2yr Platinum (On-Site Pick-Up) Warranty

    If you looked at the website, you'll see these are included direct from the manufacturer.

    Also, The Division should come free from the manufacturer as well.

    So really, you're offering a 500GB HDD free, and free shipping (although manufacturer offers local pickup), everything else is the same as purchasing direct from the manufacturer. So a $99 saving, but the manufacturer is offering the 1TB upgrade for $99…

    So for the sake of a free 500GB HDD, why else should we buy from you?

    Yes that's correct, I was just explaining all the offers there at the moment.
    The free game redeem ends on the 21st March so the deal ends then as well to coincide.
    Both Metabox and ourselves have a "back to Work/School" promotion that is being advertised until 18th March as well so the Wi-Fi and Warranty should change then. see here - http://www.kongcomputers.com/product-detail/gamers/metabox-p…

    Metabox have the base unit at $1599 without any hard drive.
    The 1TB 5400RPM HDD is now a $49 upgrade with this offer ($1648), instead of $99 on the Metabox website ($1698).
    So a saving of $50.
    The free express shipping is also a saving of $30.

    So all up a saving of $80 if you want the 1TB 5400RPM HDD or $129 if you want the 500GB 7200RPM HDD.
    I hope that satisfies the saving for you :)

      • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 09/03/2016 - 16:19

        Hi ily,
        The Metabox P640RE came out in October/November 2015.
        I don't think there's a new model coming anytime soon.
        Strangely though, we re-sellers are usually the last to find out :)
        Eventually there will be an update once new graphic cards and/or CPU's are released.

          @Kong Computers:

          The Steam program will still give an opinion
          on the system when you run the demo/benchmark.
          eg. my 4 year old laptop is isn't good enough
          because of the CPU, and GPU. :)

      • juzz0 on 09/03/2016 - 16:55

        Minimum recommended requirement is GTX 970. However there have been reports GTX 980M laptops run it as well (at least DK2). Do not think GTX 970M will run it but it is a good deal for non VR gaming potential. Most people interested in VR will probably wait until Pascal release in the next ten months.

    • ruddiger7 on 09/03/2016 - 17:47

      Vive may work, I think it seems to be less fussy and works very well too.

      Says it uses Intel(R) HD Graphics 530, when it's actually is using the 970M.

      2 Screenshots in link using the Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 and the Nvidia 970M.

      Note that my P640RE has 16GB of ram instead of 8GB, which probably wouldn't make too much of a difference.

          Haha, yeah including the PCIe Samsung 950 Pro.
          I guess it's at $1600 with no SSD due to the GTX970M being the main cost factor.

      If it's anything like my Metabox (W230s i believe) they are very easy to customize.

      You would probably be better off grabbing a SSD deal and throwing it in.

    I have also bought from Kong computers before and with my research at the time they were the best value buying a metabox laptop, very smooth and easy process. This was about two years ago though, but from the looks of it still holds true. Also note these laptops are amazing bang for buck the only downside with them is they aren't as sleek as some of their competitors but you pay a lot less for them.

    I have the 13" version that I bought a year ago. Love their customisation options, I highly recommend customising the HDD out for an SSD. Unfortunately, I had an issue with the motherboard that took Metabox over 6 weeks to replace due to some issues with their supplier, but they threw in a gift for the inconvenience - they are pretty good to deal with really.

  • footballfan on 16/03/2016 - 15:17

    Looking at purchasing this computer to replace my W230st.

    Can I use my windows 8.1 disc from my W230st on this so I don't need to pay for the OS?

    Also, can I just pull out my old w230st HDD and use it in this computer?

    Finally, if I order before the 21st will i get the free game or would I miss out as I assume it takes a couple of weeks for the unit to arrive?

    Thanks

    • Store RepKong Computers @ Kong Computers on 16/03/2016 - 16:07

      Hi footballfan,
      Thanks for the message.
      The P640RE doesn't have a DVD drive so as long as you have an external DVD Drive then you can load on your Windows 8.1 onto the P640RE and as long as you deactivate Windows 8.1 on your old PC. You won't be able to use on both systems.
      If you don't have a Ext DVD Drive then you can make up an install drive onto a USB.
      See Microsoft information here - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-8/create-reset-re…

      Swapping over the HDD from the the W230ST and into the new P640RE may work but it is fraught with some danger as drivers may not be compatible. I believe that you wont be able to pre-load on the P640RE drivers. Ultimately though Metabox still support you if you don't buy the Windows OS from them this time and use your own :)
      Someone else might want to chime in here with more advice.
      One other thing to check is the thickness of the hard drive in the W230ST of yours. Is it a 7mm thick or 9.5mm thick drive. Let me know what type of hard drive you have?
      The P640RE only takes 7mm thick hard drives and SSD's.

      Yes as long as you order up until(and including)the 21st March you will be eligible for the free game. Even though it ships out afterwards.
      You download via a redeem code provided by Metabox and then download from your Steam account.

      Cheers
      Kris

      • footballfan on 16/03/2016 - 16:27
