      Looking at the prices though, 4GB USB is decently priced, as are the monitors. The hard drive appears to be quite standard priced.

  Decent enough prices. Would like to see the free shipping on more products, but I'm both fussy AND lazy. ;)

  Do you guys price match? Been trying to find the Samsung 1.5TB for $69 but everyone is sold out…. At that price anyway.

  Isn't this kind of thing the reason they got banned in the first place? (I'm not sure, wasn't really following those events fully)

  "Bonus 2GB RAM", but it also costs $50 more.

  So essentially you're paying $50 for 2GB more RAM.

  Descriptions and model numbers same, except for reference to the amount of RAM.

    Oh geez you've gotta be joking me…
    I believe they got banned for sockpuppetting. Here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/32181 - there were a few random positive votes amongst all the negative from users who had very very fresh accounts.
    The misuse of bonus was something Ozbargainers picked up on very quickly from that deal and we all weren't happy with it, but I don't think they got banned for that.

    They haven't learnt, have they? But I guess the laptop you posted isn't targeted at us, because we've already seen that stupid trick. I suppose there are plenty of other people out there who wouldn't chuck such a big fuss over this 'bonus' (or wouldn't even realise), and they are the ones who will end up buying that laptop with no complaints. None of us will buy it.

  Would just like to point out aswell you can get the 1TB harddrive from umart for 67$.. every day price…

  Only decent deal is the USB, and the 2 screens. Even the USB is questionable.. Can just go to any store and get it for 10$ (woolies, officeworks..) So pretty average deals…

  Laptop is a ripoff..

    agree, laptop is a ripoff. however $8 usb flash+free shipping isn't bad.

  Nothing about the poster….

  But, please refrain from this junk, Bought a kingston 4GB from deals extreme for 10$,
  and the transfer speed is pathetic, takes 2min to transfer 14MB file.
  I would spend 2-3$ more and get a Transcend or some other make.
  Guys, if you have any feedback, please let me know.
  Cheers

    I agree with the Transcend comment, my 8GB transcend (years old) compared to my 4GB kingston datatraveler (not this exact model) of a few months old:

    The Transcend's write speeds are 2x faster.
    4.6MB/s Kingston vs 9.5MB/s Transcend.
    Read speeds are identical at ~25MB/s (quite speedy for USB booting of Linux/Ubuntu).

  Read/Write speeds?
