      No, but $488 hairdryers are…

      Honestly, this is one of the silliest sales I have come across. There are good products at great prices, but it's just a pathetic counter to Amazon's promotion. Most products listed are either useless or forbidden in a school environment, and financially completely out of the reach of school-aged children.

      • berger on 23/01/2018 - 14:56

        People complain about no 20% sales and when they get one, they complain!

        • Make it so on 23/01/2018 - 15:27

          I did say there are good products at great prices, but I just think it's weird to call this a "back to school" sale. It's just a "tech and homewares" sale. Not bad if you happen to need one of the products.

    Surface book performance base worth it? Or is there a better alternative? I just need an all-round laptop.

    • Rollins on 23/01/2018 - 12:43

      I have an og Surface Book for work. Whilst the specs are awesome the screen scaling in Windows 10 is diabolical, although gets better with every new build. I would save your pennies and get a Dell XPS or Lenovo Yoga, nice machines. If you want the bling get a Macbook and enjoy proper screen scaling and the feeling of dread you are stuck in the Apple machine for life.

      If it's gaming performance you are after I think the Dell Inspiron laptops are good value for money.

      • czz on 23/01/2018 - 13:40

        Thanks! Will check those out

    • misterpotatomato on 23/01/2018 - 12:48

      I had a 1st generation Surface Book.

      Pros:
      - comes with pen
      - looks nice
      - well balanced
      - fast enough for most things

      Cons:
      - got really hot
      - 6th generation i7 CPU meant middling battery life (also, did you know, the surface book 2 has proper 4 core i7 CPU's in it)
      - SB2 has no fan in the top section, i guess this means they've got a better way to sort out heat issues (or maybe not)

      For the money ($1600) and the nice screen I think its a winner.

      • czz on 23/01/2018 - 13:37

        Cheers yeah 1.6k seems alright for a good built laptop. Cause new gen will cost 3k plus or so! What laptop you use now?

        • misterpotatomato on 23/01/2018 - 14:00

          ACER Predator 15.6" laptop. I bought it for about $2k about a year ago. It was redonk value.

          • 32gb ram
          • 512gb nvme ssd storage
          • i7 something
          • 2tb magnetic hdd

          Clearly a different league than the sbook though.

        • Rollins on 23/01/2018 - 14:27

          I didnt realise it was 1600$ !!

          Prob not a bad pickup then given the spec. Mine was $3800 :) The pen is still sitting in the box in a drawer :) I rarely use it without the k/b attached, altho you can flip the screen to the back which is nice if you have it plugged into another screen. The screen is fantastic tho…. Just a shame M$ are still struggling with screen scaling.

        • czz on 23/01/2018 - 14:55

        • jimbo jones on 23/01/2018 - 18:44

          @czz:

          I have Surface Book 1 (base model - picked up from HN for $998 -ex demo, core i5 gen6, 8gb ram, 128gb ssd).

          Also have the following at home (my wife + kid).
          XPS13 (c2016) 4K screen
          XPS15 (c2016) 4K screen
          XPS13-2-in-1 (returned due to constant voltage throttling when using external monitors)
          Surface Pro 3
          Surface Pro 2
          Surface Pro 1
          Macbook Air 13" (2015 model).

          I find the screen scaling on the SB at 200% is okay.

          Upstairs I run 2 x U2515H external monitors and a Kogan 27". I find the 150% scaling on the U2515H is okay. The 100% on the Kogan is fine. I have the U2515H daisy chained and either plug into the surface dock, or the TB16 for the dell devices.

          It's more or less the same across the board (across the XPS13 and SP range). There are some apps that don't scale well, but the problem is the same across the board.

        • czz on 23/01/2018 - 18:57

          @jimbo jones: dam that's alot of laptops X)

          Which do you like?

          1.6k could buy me a decent laptop and iPad X) hold off for now.

          What you think about Chromebooks? Once they app store is no longer beta it seems like a iPad and budget laptop killer.

        • Rollins on 24/01/2018 - 07:54

          @jimbo jones: Yeah it's fine with a monitor. But I use Hyper-V and RDP a lot for work and its pretty much un-useable as it doesn't scale and that res is very small :) Skype is also a pain. It's a nice screen tho.

          What do you think about the Surface Book vs the XPS 13/15 ?? My Wife also has Surface pro, which I wouldn't go to. Have a Macbook pro 13 also, with Windows 10 so it's useful :) I was thinking of going to an XPS next.

        • jimbo jones on 26/01/2018 - 01:47
          +1

          @Rollins:
          We only have the 4K XPS laptops.
          You are going to get scaling issues on both if you RDP to 2008 servers.
          Supposedly 2012 and later do scaling. I found it okay RDP to servers. Not sure what causes the stuff not to scale.

          Most of my meetings are Skype for Business and Zoom and I find the screen resolution is okay.

          BTW, I don't really use the old Surface Pros much. The 2 had 8gb and 256gb ssd. The SP1 and SP3 had only 128gb ssd, which is a bit tight for normal work.

          I like the XPS13 as I travel and the size is good. But I travel overseas with the SB1 and don't take anything else (apart from my work laptop with VPN and all the corporate stuff).

          Because I have external monitors at home, the laptop screen size don't make a big deal. The XPS15 has the best CPU (fully I7 vs 15w I7 on the XPS13). The XPS13-2-in-1 had a Y7 (which was limited to 4.5W and power throttled when running more than one external screen. Throttling drops the cpu to 600mhz for extended periods of time.

          The Surface Book 1 screen is really nice.
          The keyboard is better than the XPS13 and the touchpad is good. The XPS13/15 don't have pen support, but the touch screen is okay on all.

    • Caped Baldy on 23/01/2018 - 16:50

        You beat me to it,although it's $299.20 after the 20% now, must have reduced in price again.
        Seriously good value, and the performance is quite good. A considerable step-up than anything with an eMMC.

      For $299, I would recommend https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Dell-Inspiron-11-3000-Laptop…
      After the PRAWNS 20% discount, $299, it's on sale the RRP is $499.
      Not for Games, mainly targeted at students with portability.

      Pros:
      - Unlike other laptops in this class uses a proper SSD (replaceable)
      - Decent RAM (also replaceable to 8gb)
      - 4 True Cores
      - Runs Office \ Windows 10 quite efficiently
      - Dell Support
      - Screen is decent
      - Great battery life
      - easy to uninstall the dell crap if required

      Negs:
      - Non-touch
      - May need to replace in 2 years
      - Small form factor (a plus for students)
      - Slow delivery
      - Your not getting the same screen quality or performance of a 1k+ laptop

          My son in year 7 needs a laptop, but all the ones they recommend have an S pen, is that a requirement?

        • [Deactivated] on 24/01/2018 - 11:47

          @Ken1977:
          You need to consult the school policy, as they are not all the same. Most I have read provide terrible overpriced recommendations.

          S pen's are proprietary for Samsung, so they may recommend devices with Stylus, which may be beneficial for arts.

          Most schools will have specialized equipment for arts, so I always advise going with a very basic, affordable laptop.
          Unless you spend a fortune, the 2:1's have lower build quality, often top heavy (as the screen is weighted and poor keyboards.

          While I am an Apple Fan, I do recommend Windows for School to maximise compatibility with the apps and programs. Sharepoint, Onedrive, O365 being used in schools, for now works so much better on Windows.

          And yes, kids do drop those expensive surface tablets, and Macbooks while they are juggling their books, changing classes.
          So only spend what you can afford to replace without insurance.

          @Ken1977:

          My son is going to a govt / selective school. I had gone through the requirement document and there is nothing about S pen. There are specifications about the wifi, ram, OS, HDD, weight, battery etc. Seems the specification differs from school to school

      Thank you all for that. I have seen that one before, but was hoping for something with a CD/DVD player included with a camera would be even better but not necessary.

      Anybody using the Acer Aspire E 15?

    Hmmmm…. Kids who back to school need a Dyson V8 Vacuum? For what? BYO-class-cleaning after detention?

      They need it to do HOMEwork/duty.

      Obviously for parents to do a good clean up after sending their kids back to school.

    C922 Pro with the PUPIL discount works out to be ~$86.40 with postage.. (Less if you live near a Bing Lee and can pick it up).. Seems cheaper than anywhere else.
