    anyone got any idea about the warranty? usually this type of laptop of HP is 3 years international warranty. Not sure how about this one.

  • tonyxu on 02/08/2008 - 08:27

    bought. too cheap to not buying. cheapest i can find is 2,499 with 3 years warranty and 4gb memory, vista business. But price almost doubled, with that amount, u should be able to do anything… +1

  • elcheapo on 02/08/2008 - 10:09

    hey.. direct link to the deal.. I think the price is awesome too

    http://www.officeworks.com.au/technology/computers-screens/n…

    • bender on 02/08/2008 - 10:49

      2.5 ghz?
      When I searched for 8710P C2D at the site, the one on sale for $1249 did come up.

    • Noslee on 02/08/2008 - 11:22

      This direct link seems to goto a C2D T7500 vPro version plus wireless N and more video RAM, i think that's a more expensive specs, also you cannot add to the cart :( but for home user, the C2D T9300 as used in the current macbook pro is a very good choice for the price, enjoy!

    • gabbyh on 02/08/2008 - 13:29

      The direct link listed is incorrect. This is the direct link http://www.officeworks.com.au/technology/computers-screens/n…
      Also the product code does not come up in the Office Works site search for me anymore so hope they are not sold out for all the people that want one.

  • bender on 02/08/2008 - 10:26

    So this has a hdmi video output port?
    Am i reading the specs correctly?

    • tonyxu on 02/08/2008 - 17:09

      Yes, it's little bit strange for a business laptop but yes, 1080p hdmi

  • addo on 02/08/2008 - 12:10

    Most people are selling this unit for $2400+ I think its a typo price. I ordered 2 great desktop replacement, for the kids,

  • elcheapo on 02/08/2008 - 12:13

    I think it's typo too.. but .. $1200 is too much to spend.. sigh.. :(

    • addo on 02/08/2008 - 12:44

      you can buy 2 sell one to a friend for 2k say its kick ass laptop (which it is) which will make ur one less than 500 :P better than a eee pc :P

      • Jarvis1 on 02/08/2008 - 15:18

        addo,

        Remind me not to become your friend ;)

        Excellent deal Noslee. Thanks!

        • addo on 02/08/2008 - 15:35

          Truth is you are not ripping ur friend off at all, just selling it to him at the normal price.

          • jashjash on 02/08/2008 - 19:47

            @addo: but he's your friend!

            better off selling it to someone else, and keeping your friendship!

  • gabbyh on 02/08/2008 - 17:48

    Can't find anything on their site re shipping charges to country areas… or are there simply none but it is not overnight? This one seems to be a drop ship anyway so do they charge or is that automatically free?

    • Noslee on 02/08/2008 - 18:03

      I suppose their delivery service isn't cheapest for big and bulky items
      $29.98 for all metro delivery zones.
      $49.98 for non metro / regional delivery zones.

      Don't forget to use Flybuys, and take the free online gift on the login page.

      • gabbyh on 02/08/2008 - 18:21

        So the delivery charges for non-bulky items are indeed free to country areas and also free if the non-bulky item is drop shipped?

        • gabbyh on 03/08/2008 - 08:20

          Found an answer to my own questions… Free delivery for orders of $50 or more is available to metro areas in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. For orders less than $50, a delivery fee of $5.45 will be charged. All other areas will incur a flat delivery fee of $25.95 (incl. GST)… A nominal handling fee of $3.95 is applied to all orders. This fee will not apply to 'replacement orders' or 'returned' items.

      • POWERevolution on 02/08/2008 - 18:53

        Arh! Forgot about Flybuys but where do u enter for Flybuys, I can't see any box to enter at checkout!?

  • ShortyX on 02/08/2008 - 23:15

    I was given one of these to use in my job - it is an awesome laptop and this price is amazing.

  • AussieMark on 03/08/2008 - 17:31

    Enter these codes when you buy

    Q67-PRBEIGEB
    Q67-PRTUMBLER
    Q67-PRFTPACK
    Ei7-PR2PRED

    =)

    I searched around for ages for them. Once you add them you can see what they are. Basically luggage bags and pampher packs. Silly me actually found some of them after I brought =(

    It seems you can only get flybuys if you use the coles myer card when you buy? correct me if I am wrong =p

  • villemus on 03/08/2008 - 20:36

    i bought 2 ….. ^^

  • BigKev on 04/08/2008 - 14:07

    Is this deal still on? Tried adding the laptop to my cart from the direct link but it just went
    to this page saying "The product you are looking for could not be found".
    I also tried doing a product search using the above product # but no luck.
    Could the guys at OW fixed the pricing error?

    • Noslee on 04/08/2008 - 15:50

      Both the direct link plus the search are unsuccessful, so I believe they have fixed the error.

  • villemus on 04/08/2008 - 16:18

    it's finished… you can look it up from the laptop menu, but it has not price attach to it..

  • brutus on 04/08/2008 - 18:39

    Guys, I didn't need one either, but couldn't resist and bought one!

    And not it's an error, just a stock clearance.

    • villemus on 04/08/2008 - 21:16

      they have certainly cleared all their stock haha

    • POWERevolution on 04/08/2008 - 21:45

      Did you get the confirmation from Officeworks that this is KV009PA?

      • brutus on 04/08/2008 - 22:17

        It can only be the KV009PA

        GT646PA: 1 x 1024 MB DDR2
        KV009PA: 1 x 2048 MB DDR2
        GT647PA: 2 x 1024 MB DDR2

        GT646PA: T7500 2.20 GHz
        GT647PA: T7500 2.20 GHz
        KV009PA: T9300 2.50 GHz

        see the pattern?

    • Noslee on 04/08/2008 - 22:26

    If anyone would like to sell any of their orders, please let me know. I am looking for one for my girlfriend.

    Please click my name and then contact me if you are interested.
    Thank you.

  • brutus on 05/08/2008 - 12:43

    It depends who you believe, I tend to believe the HP site

    Look at this example

    HP T9300 17W 250GB 2GB DVDRW WLAN BT VIS+XP PRELO (both xp and Vista preloaded!)

  • bargainprice on 05/08/2008 - 23:45

    This is expensive, i can find a laptop with 320GB with the same price. but thanks for posting anyway.

    • POWERevolution on 06/08/2008 - 00:33

      Goodluck with finding with the same specs as above
      If you find it & post up share with us I'm sure you have very high chance of winning weekly price :)

    • tonyxu on 06/08/2008 - 19:52

      Yeah, with lousy model and material

      pls understand the difference between quality business laptop and home entertainment laptop.

  • tonyxu on 06/08/2008 - 19:52

    Has anyone received the lappie yet?

    • Jarvis1 on 06/08/2008 - 20:12

      Not yet, just a "Paid" Tax invoice coving the handeling Fee of $3.95 from OW. Still waiting…

  • POWERevolution on 06/08/2008 - 21:14

    What's going on…My account got blocked! Anyone have the same problem? I haven't received free gifts nor laptop. When I order the free gifts show it will arrive by 5//8/08 but now no sign of it :(

    This user cannot be used, it has a blocked status.
    Please phone the call centre

    Updated:
    Rang them…They can't fix the problem. They asked their department & was told they mistake randomly blocked some accounts :-o

    I also email them…And here's their response.

  • warcom on 07/08/2008 - 11:50

    Interesting.

    I received my invoice(s) also.

    I spoke to someone on the phone yesterday and she advised it takes 10 days deliver the orders (2) as notebooks are large items, lol.

    I guess we'll wait and see what happens!

  • search on 07/08/2008 - 13:40

    It is back with different Product code INHCN0424 and price http://www.officeworks.com.au/owbd/b2c/mainFS.jsp $2,899.00

    • Jarvis1 on 07/08/2008 - 20:23

      INHCN0424 (as opposed to INHCN0436, which I ordered) has an updated O/S; with the Vista Lic. But this does not justify the $1650 difference in the price tag!!

      It reads: Operating System: Windows XP Preloaded - Windows Vista Licence Included

  • Jarvis1 on 08/08/2008 - 17:49

    I got my laptop today guys! It's awesome! Brilliant quality notebook.

    It comes with XP Pro - Service Pack 2, no HDMI cable :( (as per HP site specs),

    1 x Power pack and cable,
    1 x OS CD (XP PRO) and
    1 x Application & Driver Recovery DVD)

    … and most importantly, no dud pixels!

    • brutus on 08/08/2008 - 19:53

      how much warranty?
      no vista upgrade?

      • Jarvis1 on 08/08/2008 - 19:58

        1yr Warranty and no Vista Upgrade :(

  • tonyxu on 12/08/2008 - 14:59

    well, lucky u guys, I just received mine yesterday. Quite good, poor packaging though. Solid machine, so nice!
