Toshiba Deal from Dick Smith $595 for a Intel Core i7-2630QM (2GHz)

520

Seems a good price to me for an 2nd Gen Core i7 all-rounder brand name computer. I am tempted to get one.

Key features:
The integrated TV Tuner lets you tune in to analogue and digital TV.
Resolution+ upscales standard definition DVD to near-HD. It also improves standard TV and online videos, noticeably improving the quality.
Harman Kardon speakers combined with Dolby audio processing deliver extraordinary soundscapes and immersive gameplay.
Sleep & Music lets you play your MP3 player through the P750's speakers even when the notebook is asleep or powered off.
USB Sleep-and-charge makes it easy to recharge electronic devices whether the notebook is powered on or in sleep mode – leave those AC adapters behind.
Toshiba's PC Health Monitor lets you actively monitor and tune your notebook via an interface that's as easy to use as the dashboard of a car.

    Want it but must resist. Must resist! I've got a laptop I bought 6 months ago after getting overexcited here- I've used it less than half an hour.

      I'll borrow it, mine is falling apart.. Lol

      What is it and do you want to sell it? Mum needs a new computer…

    • +2

      Just get rid of it on eBay. The sooner you sell it the more you'll get for it!

      Then recycle the money into the latest OzBargain deal… :D

    no stock anywhere in WA, don't know other states

  • Yeah I was looking at this laptop earlier as well. Still haven't made up my mind. It's missing USB 3.0, a backlit keyboard and the graphics card isn't great (which are important factors for me). But now for this price I might just bite the bullet and get it

  • pretty sure that is the exact model that i bought for 1100$ (day it got released as a catalogue special, came with office 2010 & stuff) … if so, it does have one USB 3.0 port …

    • Flip your laptop over and check the model number, this one is P750/02J yours might be the same or 01J or something etc.

  • slow hdd no hdmi and no usb3 kill it for me

    • +1

      HDMI Out Yes

      sandy bridge so not current

      and the 1,366 x 768 screen makes me wanna poke my eyes out

      gt540m isn't all that good (its 40nm crap i beleive)

      i hate toshiba but you wont find faster for cheaper

      • Oh it does have hdmi, well spotted i missed that!.

        Toshiba definitely has better build quality now, and slightly more reliable. They even have their own repair/drop in centre in each state.

  • no stock in brisbane

    Not Bad. I'm in the market for a new laptop at the moment. The Toshiba Satellite L750/0LM is going for $149 more.
    With that comes extra 4gb ram, 2.2GHz 2nd gen i7, extra 1gb graphics and one usb 3.0 (don't know if the P750/02J does).

    I posted this in the forums 4 hours ago, Not much stock so didn't think it was worthy of a listing :(

    Great deal though for anyone that gets one.

  • +2

    No stock in SA. Which state does this apply to? None?

    • Canberra has stock. Although I'm not in need of a laptop.

    • VIC Southland has stock.

    • A few store in Sydney have stock
      Ashfield, Broadway and Roseland

  • Is it the old i7 CPU?

    • 2nd gen sandy bridge

  • This is a hard decision, just another $100 more can get the latest ivy bridge Dell or lenovo, buying a laptop with so many choices are such painful experience !!! Which one should I get???

    • +2

      IMO, it wouldn't matter much for a computer of this size.

      Ivy has minimal performance increases and is more focused towards energy efficiency - which doesn't matter in a laptop that would use huge amounts of power and have battery life is 2-3 hours anyway.

      • +2

        good point.. :)

    • +1

      It depends on the chipset on the Ivy Bridge laptop.
      Assuming the new laptop uses the new H77/Z77 chipset, USB3 is provided by default, so is SATA3. In that case, there is no reason for the laptop makers not to offer them. P.S. Apple offer USB3 on their latest gen laptops because intel throws them in for free in the new chipset.

      Ivy bridge CPUs only provide 10% advantage at best…

  • service is down atm

    As other deals from DSE , there is not enough stock to back it.

    • +2

      Clearance price - not exactly a "sale".

    • yeah man this was a discontinued model - we sold our last one today

  • Can anyone tell me which stores in VIC have stock apart from the one in southland, which is the closing down store and hence, cannot reserve order through the website? I have been trying many stores but none of them comes up with available stock

      Just put in random post codes. I did it for vic this morning and im pretty sure there was like 5+ stores that said "Low stock".

    • +1

      Epping (Northern suburb) is showing Low Stock. The postcode there is 3074, I think, if you want to check.

      • Epping is 3076, I think 3074 is Bundoora?

        • Your right, Epping is 3076, thanks (Lalor is 3074, Bundoora is 3073) Cheers and go Miami :)

        • Reservoir is 3073 lol. :D HEAT!

    There is a pretty good deal here:

    If you are after a laptop and cant get one of the Toshiba's.

    • The Toshiba deal is price driven. I don't think most people here will want to fork out another $200 for this hp i7.

    • +1

      Deserves a post on its own IMO!

  • +2

    All these laptops are now fantastic prices because of the rise of Ultrabooks. That one from JB is a 3rd gen i7 and under $800, wow. Really depends on how long you want it to last and still be relevant. You'll have to be happy to live without SSD's and USB 3.0 for these prices.

  • the link is dead…i think the ship has sailed.

  • dick smith rhodes had one.

    Is this deal dead after a single day? Thats pretty lame!

  • Dead - Lame, lame, lame

  • Just found this $597 from DSE

      shopping express had this with 8gb ram for $499 plus $12-13 shipping a few days ago but it's gone now.

      • Thanks fchis

        I am looking for cheapest laptop with 4GB memory, processor at least i5. My budget is $600.

        Is there any other shop that offer better deal than this $597 from DSE?

        Any help from other OzBargainers are welcome…
