    Sorry folks….silly Q.

    Does this apply to all HN's nationwide?

    • RideCurbs on 29/06/2012 - 13:21

      It appears to be, has been noticed in NSW, VIC and SA newspapers.

    Seems like a fantastic deal. I just rang HN Fyshwick about the U840/00Q. It's included in the sale, its regular retail price is 999, so after cash back it would be $499. It's an i5 2467m, 8gb ram…. okay so it only has a crappy hybrid drive… but still a great deal in my opinion

    • excite on 29/06/2012 - 13:44

      how this compares to HP Envy 6-1010TU?

      • AG_ACT on 29/06/2012 - 13:48

        Depends on your preference I guess. The Envy has a larger screen - big minus from me, more HD space, less ram though…. and is a HP. I have a soft spot for toshibas, so my opinion will be biased.

  • NickDempey on 29/06/2012 - 13:13

    Another silly question. Does their condition 'Goods must be paid for in full before redemption is paid' rule out buying it on the interest free period?

    • hatts on 29/06/2012 - 13:26

      I doubt it, HN is paid in full when you buy it, you owe the money to GE Finance

    • tg on 01/07/2012 - 09:45

      That means you can't just take the Ultrabook home without paying it and then try to claim 500 back.

  • heyrosered on 29/06/2012 - 13:32

    Hooray, returned the bad Sony deal I posted and am getting a cheaper ultrabook with better specs instead. So glad I checked OzB today.

    Just went to Moore Park Harvey Norman and they stated its off ALL Ultrabooks at RRP. No matter how you look at this its a great deal. People saying they mark stuff up please do your research. Average mark ups would be about 15% (give or take) and they are offering $500 cashback on any model. They would be losing money on this deal but I guess it stops the competition selling anything on the last day of financial year in the ultrabook range.

    Moore Park also had other things on sale including 50% off, which was mainly games. I picked up a few recent games at under $20 and will go back first thing tomorrow for a new computer.

      Their terms clearly state that is has to be purchased on the 30 June 2012. Purchasing today will mean you simply rob yourself of $500. Cuz you wont get the cashback

    Any reviews for
    - Aspire S3-391?
    - Envy 6-1010TU?

    Tried digging through notebookcheck, but didnt find any specific to that model.
    thx in advance

    • junk3569 on 29/06/2012 - 16:54

      DO NOT buy the Acer S3. I am one of the guy, who bought the Acer S3 from the first sale batch, from HN. The wireless WIFI always drop out. Got the latest firmware, drivers etc. u name it. You can research on Amazon how ppl think of this laptop about the wireless. You call up Acer support=it is fine, no problems blah blaj.

      But, it is a bargain anyway. If you can live with wireless dropping out once a while. It is OK.

      • superforever on 29/06/2012 - 17:00
        +2

        I have no problem with the WIFI, remember don't download the latest one from ACER. Search for the model and dl it from the chipset manufacturer.

        Also if you have a 300N router set it to 150N but because it is a bluetooth and WIFI combined chipset, so you can only connect at half of the speed.

        • PLA74 on 29/06/2012 - 21:47

          The wifi on my S3 has no issues at all!

      • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 29/06/2012 - 20:14

        My S3 WiFi also works fine, never had an issue. Probably your router man

        • junk3569 on 30/06/2012 - 12:23

          I took my laptop several places-hotel and friend houses, dropout intermittently. So it is not my router. Turned off/on BT make no different. I have a usb LAN adapter, works 3 days no drop out at all. Tried different drivers, BIOS etc….the only thing has improved on the latest version is, it can connect back after it drop out. Anyway, just my 2 cents… my comp knowledge above average.

        • superforever on 01/07/2012 - 16:32

          What drivers u have tried.

      • doze on 29/06/2012 - 21:17

        My wifi is rock solid on my S3.

      • rawflcopter on 29/06/2012 - 22:34

        I had WIFI problems at the start but that was because i was on powersaver and it did not have maximum settings for wifi in battery options. after i changed it, it was perfect. I was also one of the people who got it for $488

        • ibbargainer on 30/06/2012 - 12:42

          Yep. A quick fix was provided in one of the reviews on Harvey Norman's site. Credit goes to the reviewer 'Zeki':

          "Please note that the wireless connection on this laptop dropped out constantly and drove me insane. It would last 5 mins and then disconnect from the router, even though the rest of my wireless devices worked perfectly. It got so bad that i was about to return it.

          Then i did a search online and found a fix which made that laptop work perfectly and now after 2 months of problems absolutely no issues whatoever. You need to go to Control panel > Hardware > Device manager > Network adapters > Right click the adapter > properties > power management > uncheck the save power box."

    None at my local though (Oxley).

  • Zum on 29/06/2012 - 15:02

    Would any of these be Ivy Bridge and is there a quick way to identify a 3rd Gen i5/i7 Ivy Bridge rather than relying on the seller?

    • siuol on 29/06/2012 - 15:11
      +1

      Check the display chipset.
      if it is Intel HD4000 then it will surely be Ivy Bridge.
      if it is Intel HD3000 then it will be the old Sandy Bridge.

      • Merlict on 29/06/2012 - 15:15
        +1

        Pretty much. 90% of these are Sandy

        Samsung NP530U4C-S01 Series 5 is the cheapest Ivy bridge here

        • RideCurbs on 29/06/2012 - 15:38

          That Samsung looks pretty spec'd up

          I'm surprised they are calling it an Ultrabook as it has an Optical drive and discrete graphics card.

        • heyrosered on 29/06/2012 - 15:54

          The Broadway store said there's none left in NSW and only 3 stores in Aus with stock, so good luck to anyone who gets one

        • Merlict on 29/06/2012 - 16:35

          It's really stretching it at 4 pounds. Matte screen, graphics card and a bunch of ports are nice though

    • eug on 29/06/2012 - 15:15

      The first digit of the processor number (after the i3/i5/i7) is the generation.
      e.g. the NP530 above is an i5-3317UM while the Acer S3 is an i3-2367M.

    • Zum on 30/06/2012 - 10:36

      Thanks for the all the feedback. Going to try to score an Ivy Bridge Ultrabook today.

  • Saul Goodman on 29/06/2012 - 15:38

    This will be really dumb, but what's the difference for it to be an Ultrabook? I was at HM today and took some pics of laptops I liked. Would this be a ultrabook? http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg43/scaled.php?server=43&fil…

    • djvkool on 29/06/2012 - 15:43

      In general, Ultrabooks are those one that are under 1.5kg and has longer than 6hr battery life

      • hanofee on 29/06/2012 - 15:53

        On paper. Very few will really give longer than 6hr for normal usage (unless you set all setting to the lowest possible, to the point making things hard to see). Even MBA couldn't last that long. 4-5hr may be more reasonable

    • Associatedspare13 @ Harvey Norman on 29/06/2012 - 18:15

      It will use an intel processro (i3, i5, i7), lighter than 1.5kg, thinner than a certain thickness (forget the thickness), and atm will be an 11 to 13.3" screen (currently no 15" ultrabooks available that I've seen). Also, big point is instant on, will boot on within 7 seconds.

      • atlas on 30/06/2012 - 00:52

    Why are people getting excited over laptops these days, I thought tablets are the future? If you are going for a laptop, why not get a desktop instead, much bigger screen and cheaper. Use tablet/mobile when not at home.

    • riggit on 29/06/2012 - 16:33
      +1

      Tablets are not quite there IMO. Windows 8 tablets, the ones with good performance are $1200+ and the iPad is certainly no replacement for a laptop. I am afraid the games on Tablets suck as well, no depth to any of them, many seem to be for kids or young teens and graphics are ho hum.

      • CuteBirdy on 29/06/2012 - 16:41
        -3

        How often do you do desktop stuff outside of home? You might as well play the games you mentioned on a desktop PC at home, which will have a much bigger screen and better graphics, for cheaper.

        • eug on 29/06/2012 - 17:06
          +4

          Not everyone is like you. Some people do use their laptop for work. A tablet is a joke for those people - you can't open two windows at once for cross-referencing, the keyboards suck, there's no real office suite like MS Office, etc.

        • riggit on 29/06/2012 - 17:18

          Yes that is what I was getting at exactly. I guess there are those of us that just browse, listen to music and watch video then the current tablets are fine but doing any meaningful work on them is a bit awkward.

        • lostn on 30/06/2012 - 11:45

          Some people actually type documents.. You know.. people who actually use it for work, not someone who just surfs the net because they're bored commuting or waiting for the train.

          try and do word processing on a tablet. So slow and stupid.

  • renaldof on 29/06/2012 - 16:43

    A lady just asked at HN Facebook page about this deal. This is their reply:
    "Harvey Norman Hi Lisa, good (you say good, I say AWESOME!) news! Wanted to confirm that, yes, it's $500 cashback on Ultrabooks for tomorrow only! Usual terms will be available in store, and excludes Apple.

    Anyone tried this with the 28 Degrees Mastercard shoppers protection insurance? So say I paid 999 for the HP - claimed the 500 back - then in two months time Harvey Norman are selling it for 799 - do you reckon I'd be able to claim the 200 dollar difference from my insurance even though I'd already claimed cash back? I assume this would be possible - can't see any reason why not.

    Plus I go overseas next month could claim back the GST too - so this looks quite good.

    All the prices shown on the website are DISCOUNTED Price
    The $999 HP one everyone is talking about is rrp $1499
    So i would expect to see the price increase tmr
    And ASUS zen book is a lot cheaper else where.

    So unless they do cashback on discounted price, you're better off buying one from somewhere else…

    ASUS zen book wasn't even on sale.

        Thanks. That's what I was thinking too although HN may see the RRP of the Envy 6 as $1199 (as opposed to the $999 on the webstore).

        Last Q — if the store doesn't has stock (but it can be back-ordered), and I make full payment tomorrow, will this qualify for the $500 cashback?

    • sonic2011 on 29/06/2012 - 21:43

      just as you know for the toshiba one, HN had a sale $790 few wks ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/72054 and rightnow web price is $999 (markup just over $200 already). So just make sure that tomorrow they don't sell it at RRP price which is more than web price.
