To counter the popularity of the Buy Any AMD Laptop Get 1 Free (Deal can be found here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/52934) Harvey Norman Knox City VIC have deals on a vast variety of Intel stock due to shortages with their AMD stock.

Not sure if this is at other Harvey Norman stores around the country, but if you're a local to Knox I'd be heading down there asap before they run out of stock. It's a great deal. It isn't limited to the same laptop too; you can get one laptop and then get another of equal or lesser value for free. They had quite a bit of stock left for several laptops today when I was in there but had already run out of others. Some laptops even have a free RAM upgrade to sweeten the deal.

I was told this deal ends once they're out of stock too.

Happy bargain hunting :)

    I heard that if over $1000 you can also buy one Intel Laptop and get one free.

    • MrZ on 18/09/2011 - 21:49

      What do you mean? Isn't this deal for buy one get one free? You're saying you have to spend over $1000?

        I can confirm that there were several laptops for under $1k that were part of this deal. No idea what superforever is on about.

      • bbyboy on 19/09/2011 - 01:54

    Doesn't the 2 for 1 deal run out today? So getting posted at 8pm a little too late now?

      As is said in the listing, guy at HN said the deal was over when they run out of stock. So no, unlike the AMD deal it doesn't end today.

      • Rumbaar on 18/09/2011 - 20:10

        Fair enough, thanks for posting it. Would have been good if it was done before they had closed for the day :)

        The original deal did not say that. The updated deal said that, once harvey realised how dumb they were just saying "AMD processor"

      • [Deactivated] on 19/09/2011 - 09:49
        -2

        you might want to reconsider "destroy". bang for buck, the macbook pro 15inch comes out ahead. the lamborghini is however a pretty nice machine. But for 3000$ i'd rather build a desktop that had far more power.
        Its not a practical everyday use machine for that price.

    • Josh81 on 19/09/2011 - 01:33

      Change the thermal paste. And if it's a Dell XPSM1330 then you could do the copper heat sink mod, with the tiny square of copper. I did this on my Dell XPSM1210, worked well, no more cooler pad for me.

        I've realised it's actually an XPS 1210 - Shows u how long i haven't used that piece of crap.

        Just lift the keyboard and blow out the fan and heatsink. $10 says it's just caused by a buildup of dust.

        • kasumi on 19/09/2011 - 17:36

          thanks.. I've just been blowing into the fan externally, as i can't be bothered to pull it apart, but still does nothing. It maybe a combo of dust that's lodged further inside the machine, and heat sink.
          Bought my Arctic Silver 5 today, so when i have time, i will pull it apart.

      • Utopian on 19/09/2011 - 12:12

      I recently heard on an ABC radio report that the (first) worlds average standard of living is expected to drop by a around a third when all the economic flow-through effects take seat.

    Going to be another time waster. HN will lift the price up to its retail price and may even be over this. At best you get the 2 laptops at only a slight discount at the end of the day.

  • scoop98 on 18/09/2011 - 22:42
    +1

    It is not.

    Most (if not all)stores have sold out of the AMD based models.

    Most stores then substituted INTEL models from a list.

    Once they have all gone an apology notice goes up. Fair enough.

    That happened at my local HN in Perth.

    They sold over 900 laptops in less then three days at that store alone! 300+ were INTELS.

    They said that some of the cost was beared by AMD/Tosiba/ASUS/ACER etc.

    I bet your local JB/GoodGuys/MSY doesn't even carry that many laptops in the back of their stores or sell that many in two or three weeks!!
