ACER 5745G-724G64Mn $1019 ($920 after Cashback) at Harvey Norman, i7, 640GB HDD - Cannington WA

Was at HN Cannington - WA looking for a laptop, couldn't go past this for the price of $1019!

    Aspire AS5745G-724G64Mn $99 Cashback (N625)

    01 Apr 2010 - 31 Jul 2010

    $99

    • Oh wow, 2 days to go though!
      If only this were in Sydney, argh!

    • omg i frikkin love you!!! I thought the cash back deal expired!!!!

    • You can get it cheaper at O.W so ($1019 - $99)*0.95 = $874. OW doesn't offer cashback promotion so if the raw price comes with cashback; OW will have to beat the price after cashback. Have fun!

      • nah they won't price match cashback offers. They might price match the 1019 though?

  • 1,366 x 768p screen which is underspec compared to the cpu, gpu, ram etc.

  • OMG!!! I bought an i3 last saturday from HN cannington WA for $1030 with free 1 TB HDrive.
    Can i return it and buy this one…
    PLsssssss help

    It was toshiba though

    • get a hammer and crack the screen, then return as DOA :P (j/k)

      (but) This is Acer though

  • POWER : 6-cell 2.2Ah battery

    that can't be expected to last long.

  • Can we please get the receipt?! :D

  • Any lucky to get one in Mel with this price?

  • +4
  • Cashback is what makes this a deal

    Otherwise, I would get this for $1199 from CentreCom:

    Wish it wasn't acer.. Not a single acer laptop I've owned that hasn't overheated like mad - it'd like they're designed for use in antarctica (if you're in antarctica, this is the deal for YOU!)

    • +1

      Same here. Our family has 3 acer laptops and they all overheat. It's impossible to use one on your lap for more than a few minutes because they get so hot that it feels like they will burn your skin.

      You can't play any games for more than 10 minutes or they overheat and restart.

  • at this price it is really a good buy!

  • i have been a loyal acer user for years. they are actually just getting better

  • Good deal, pity there's no USB 3.0 ports

  • can anyone confirm if this is available in NSW, particularly Sydney please?????

  • i mean the ACER one, not the asus

  • called up both auburn stores, wiley park, martin place and broadway and none have it in stock. good luck finding one.

  • HN Malaga wouldn't match it because Cannington had none in stock. Ugh.

  • So I took this into Harvey Norman Munno Parra SA, the douche of a sales dude laughed at it, said its $400 below cost and sites like ozbargain are illegal. I lol'ed at him, went to a different salesmen and bought the 5820TG for $1365, $330 below the marked price.

    Then I got back to the car, and realized there is also a $169 cashback. So I won, HN loses :D

  • (my first comment :D)

    went to HN Midland WA, handed the receipt to the woman serving me and she gave a bunch of excuses as to why the guy in cannington sold it so cheap, also said the sales guy got in trouble for selling it that cheap (how true that is, is anyone's guess)

    but they had 40%off laptops anyways, so i ended up getting a core i5 for $779

      That is absolute bullshit. I got a call AT WORK from HN Midland asking me why I put up that receipt. I said I put it up to help anyone who wants a similar deal. She said 'we can't match that price' to which I replied 'thats none of my business, you can do what you want, I just did the right thing and helped others'. She promptly hung up after that.

      AND THE SALES GUY WOULD NOT HAVE GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE THIS DEAL WAS AN ADVERTISED PRICE. HE DID NOT GIVE ME A SPECIAL DEAL. SO SHE ALSO LIED TO YOU.

  • My dislike for Harvey Norman as a whole is growing. The way they pressure things like bullshit extended warranties on the customers is rude and misleading. I was called crazy by two different salesmen for declining $148 for 3 yrs.

    Take your average middle-aged shopper - there gonna fold and get reamed by Harvey Normans scare and intimidation tactics.

    • I recently bought a bunch of stuff @ Penrith and then wanted to return 2 out of 3 items completely un-opened and they forced me to pay 20% re-stocking fee on $1200 worth of stuff…

      They wouldn't budge and I felt trapped shopping there.

      I'm going to price match DSE next time they do that I'm going to waste all the salesmen' time and then buy it there for the same price 14 day money back no questions asked…

      HN - You just lost another customer.

    I had my 13 month lappy repaired under HN extended warranty, replaced the mother board - HAPPY !!

    Hah Purplemonkeychair! You got her after me :-) I went into Midland and saw that girl, she took the reciept and was gone a good 10 minutes, obviously ringing Cannington when she came back she said she cannot match that deal, can only sell it to me for $1300.00 so I said, I'll go to Cannington then and she said They are all sold out so I said I'll just ring them :-) Sure enough, 3 left in stock at that time so went and bought the two I was after, one for me one for my niece. HN Cannington were fabulous, quoted that price to us on the phone without prompt. Don't know how Midland girl can lie straight in bed. Thank you so much wazza23 :-)
