Intel Pentium Dual Core P6200
The eMachine model is priced very competitively at $498 – over $100 cheaper than other online IT retailers including Techbuy.com or iTech.

The Acer 5742, priced at $697, matches and in a few cases undercuts rivals, when compared on getprice.com.au, which could see the beginning of the high street retailer carving itself a bigger slice of the Oz electronics market if its maintains this huge price assault.

The new site is offering delivery for just $10 and is facilitated within 3-5 days via its relationship with China Post in conjunction with Australia Post.

There is also a postal facility if customers wish to return goods.

    It's NOT Myer Online Shop, it's myfind (Myer Sourcing Asia Limited)

    you can't return it to Myer, myfind is a separate company…

    • c64 on 28/02/2011 - 18:00

      yes, i assume there is no australian warranty, only through myfind.com. it doesn't even mention the warranty period in the item info.

    You DO earn Myer One points.

    There is NOTHING that CHINESE and INDIANS cannot do cheaper than us.

    This is disgraceful!

    Did seem a bit strange so I did a quick whois, URI was registered in 1999, but contact email is myer.com.au so seems kosher. Surprised I've never heard of them before.

      MYFIND only started actually Trading this year.

      Myer is only let this happen because of the Harvey Norman bullcrap with his GST for $1000 controversy.

    I wonder if Australian consumer protection laws apply to them? Would they argue that since they're not in Australia, they don't have to obey them?

    Not to be nitpicky, but a similar eMachines eME730 equipped with a Core i3 processor can be had for around the same price. (assuming that the cashback offer expires today — last day?)

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/40077

    However this one apparently has AMD fusion graphics, so not really a fair comparison.

    • dyziplen on 28/02/2011 - 17:42

      how can a fusion be paired with a pentium? fusion is a integrated cpu/gfx set

      I think this is the same specs. It says integrated Intel video. Myfind is very thin on details and only 2 laptops to choose from? Could get better offer from OW.

    • camelgrass on 28/02/2011 - 18:09

      Yeah, most likely Intel HD Graphics paired with the Intel Pentium P6200 processor.

      • StewBalls on 28/02/2011 - 18:26

        Yep, I agree with you guys, I can't see a Pentium Dual Core being matched up with AMD Fusion; nor can I find any other references to this spec/model in searches.

        I'm negging this based on the misleading nature of the specs, not necessarily the fault of the OP, but certainly Myfind.com have dropped the ball on this one. Gonna be some mighty unhappy people thinking they're gonna get Fusion under five hundred bucks only to be disappointed it seems!

      • camelgrass on 28/02/2011 - 18:40

        Most likely the specs will be similar to this:

            Intel Pentium P6200 processor (2.13GHz, 3M cache)
    2GB DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM
    Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset

    Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n

    10% difference …. not sure.
    Not much of choice like commented before, and it is already hard enough to deal with Australian sales people,
    I don't need non English speaking customer service people on the other side of the phone.
    Sorry No-Go.

      I don’t need non English speaking customer service people on the other side of the phone.
      Sorry No-Go.

      First of all, all support/enquiry communication for myfind is by email so you won't be getting either English-speaking or non-English-speaking people on the phone.

      Second, all the overseas call centres I have delt with over the years (TPG, 3, Vodafone, Dell, et al), they do actually speak English well. I have never come across a call centre where they do not speak English.

        I didn't realise there were so many camels on Ozbargain! Anyone seen a cameltoe?

        Most call centre's these days are quite good with their English, occasionally you might get some issues with telemarketers but most support (Netgear, Dell, Optus) seem to be OK for me.

    dont give these crooks any more money.
    we already have them here, overpricing everything.
    if you're going to bring something from overseas, buy from another company, and let them know what we think of their price gouging.
    most australian large retailers should just dissapear, they're stuck in the past and are not willing to change.

    mmm this aint much better, if better at all, than the other 500 lappys around.

    • muzzamo on 28/02/2011 - 18:25

      do they do 720p/1080p decoding like the AMD fusion does?

      I've been waiting for netbooks with these sorts of specs to start appearing for a while now.

      • dyziplen on 28/02/2011 - 18:43

        as a couple of posts above, this doesn't seem to have Fusion at all. Its an integrated Intel, however it should have enough grunt to decode 720p at the very least.

        • StewBalls on 28/02/2011 - 23:40

          Yep, the Intel HD graphics do a fine job of 1080p as well, that's been a feature since x4500. Even the old x3100 would do 720p easy enough IME! ;)

          with the 4500 alot of the work is placed on the cpu, on my c2d p7350 1080p is fine but on c2d culv u2100 720p is the max, both are 4500

    Personally, I find this effort by Myer a cheap shot at local computer shops trying to give us the best deal while making a buck (ok, so a bit more), I'd prefer to buy from local computer shop.

    Orange IT is one of those companies. I'd prefer this system:

    It's a Lenovo, so feel more confident. ($469)

    Wow, do men's t-shirts cost $65 in China?

    • thushan on 01/03/2011 - 10:10

      you think thats expensive? It would cost a few billion in Zimbabwe!

  • Garlic on 01/03/2011 - 08:52

    stuff is not even cheap….can find better price on ebay
