  • Just checked every store within 50km from me for stock on Asus UX21E-KX007V. All were out of stock.

    Guess that saves me a trip.

    Hardly Normal Warrawong (NSW)

    http://www.harveynorman.com.au/toshiba-satellite-u840-00q-ul… for $499 with 8gb ram
    Just bought one of these for my Mum.

    PS. on the box it has a supposed price of $1499.

    NB. If Hardly Normal run out of stock Domayne are also doing the $500 cashback today as well.

  • For folks in WA Osborne Park won't budge from the jacked up prices. City West has the envy 6 for 999 easy. Selling fast tho.

    • osborne park are real avg, what did you end up getting ?

      • Envy 6. Heavy compared to my toshy z830 but with beats being sold on ebay and I5 for $400ish is a good deal in my ultrabook.

  • Where to get the redemption form? It is on their web site?

    • in store they give it to you

      • Damn it! They didn't give me one. Have to go back there now.

  • went to City West (Perth), bought the acer s3 for $839. they had a fair few envy 6 for 999. and was willing to give 500 cashback on any ultrabook which is discounted on the harvey norman website

    • You have made a big mistake for choosing S3 over envy 6

      • +3

        15" is too big, and i only browse the net and go on microsoft word and publisher

    +1 on the Toshiba Satellite U840/00Q for $499 (also got 3 year replacement warranty for an extra $150) after the $500 HN rebate. The bonus is the backlit keyboard unlike all the other ones on offer and it has a single USB3 so I don't care if it's sandy or ivy chipsets… It's half the price this weekend of the cheapest AIR on sale @ JBHIFI with the 10% off sale next door. It has a 16gb SSD so resume is as quick as any UB and with a segate XT hybrid drive upgrade it will be even faster with decent storage options too. Dam side cheaper than a dedicated SSD even with the recent drop in prices…

    I'll get the cheap win8 and give it a look see on another HD and this laptop is my travel and work laptop, if I kill it HN will replac it with the current model for 3 years! Apple can't come near it in value and I have a Mac and would have bought an AIR just for the backlit KEYBAORD USB 3 & SSD, but at over twice the price, well no thanks Steve (RIP)

  • After Samsung NP530U4C-S01 Series 5 Ultrabook… But none of the HN stores in NSW have them in stock!!!

  • went to Aspley and Averton Park, QLD, for Acer 839 one, but only the last display one left. Averton marked 899 for that one. shit!

    • yes, I think brisbane HN is ridiculous. I got s3 from HN carindale for $899 too. They can't match with web price. And no Envy 6 over there.

      • +1

        m8, you were close, there its 839 at albany creek.

  • did they just push up the price for the asus ux21e

    http://www.harveynorman.com.au/asus-ux21e-kx004v-ultrabook-l…

    • +1

      no thats the i5 version. the one ur probably looking for has probably sold out and hence isnt listed. the i3 version

    • No, the guy in HN Averton admitted that, they cannot do web price for that, even for the last one.

  • is that even legal to jack up the price a day before sales?

  • -6

    I just got 2 x Acer S3-391 for $839, 1x Asus UX21E-KX007V for $899, and 1 x Toshiba U840/00Q for $999.

    3 will go to work, and I will keep one. Most likely the Toshiba.

    • where? near Brisbane?

      • No NSW. McGraths Hill. It was the last of all 3 models

      • albany creek had 13" Asus for 999, S3 391 for 839.

    • It's not limited to one per person?

      • NO, only one per invoice

      • Doesn't look like it:

        1. Purchase one of the nominated products on 30/06/12 from any Harvey Norman® franchise and complete a redemption form and mail to Ultrabook Cashback Promotion, Locked Bag 2, Silverwater DC NSW 1811, along with a copy of the invoice. Redemption form must be received no later than 31/07/12. Goods must be paid in full before redemption is paid. One form only per product purchased. Further terms and conditions apply, see in store for full details. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing of cashback. Redemptions are unable to be processed without the accompanying invoice.

        Why is that?

  • Going to pick up 2 x HP Envy 6-1001TX with 8GB ram and 7670 dedicated video card for $1150ea in HN. As this brought the price closer to the 1010TU was the deal breaker for me so very happy, plus I get $500 cash back on each and the beats headphones as well….sweet :)

    An additional 3 yr warranty was an extra $230 which gives you a total 4yr in store no questions ask replacement warranty. Still deciding whether to get this or not….tempting!!!

    • the 3 year is from date of purchase so total is 3years. also, i got it for 140 so haggle

      • The lady explained it was 3yrs on top of the 12 months. I'll have to check into that and yeah $140 is very good. I will definitely haggle and probably definitely worth getting then.

        • If you check the pds it may be incorrect unless they have updated them. It starts after your manufacturers warranty ends so what the lady told you is correct.

        • I was told 2 years on top of 12 months = 3 years.

        • i'm looking at the product care pamphlet they gave me and it specifies Term as "from original date of purchase"

        • as i said that is incorrect. You can call up the policy line to confirm, but it starts when manufacturers ends.

        • It is when the manufacturer warranty finishes.

          What could be confusing people is different warranty lengths are available. 3 year extended and 2 year extended are both options.

        • mine says including 36 months product care on the receipt so is that 2 or 3 years extended?

    • Don't bother, you are too late, out of stock.

    • Have you picked the them up yet pasadena? and do you mind uploading the receipt for us here? Thanks

    • why u bought it at 1150 i bought one as well today same model cost me 1241!
      cheers

    • I just bought a HP 1010TU on Saturday in Perth with 2 years replacement warranty. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit my needs as I need to use it to run heavy applications. Would you like to trade their HP 1001tx ultrabook for my brand new HP 1010tu?

      I'd be happy to pay the price difference.

  • Before everyone sends their redemption forms, can someone please upload a blank one for the rest of us?

  • This message comes to you from an Acer S3. Got it from Bundall. $839 before cash back.

    They had more in stock (1.5 hours ago).

    • This reply comes to you from an Acer S3. Got it from Albany Creek. $839 before cash back. sorry you didnt say copy right ;)

      • Heh, I was at Albany Creek this morning. Picked up two Samsung 900X ultrabooks. They're meant to be $1,588 but the ticketed price was $1,488. The sales guy checked with the supervisor and he said it was fine, so I got them for $1,488… which is $988. That's an amazing price for the ivy bridge 900X.

  • Is there any $899 asus one left in Melbourne?!

  • bought the U840 at HN Dandenong, asked the HP first, no stock, the U840 is actually more suitable for me, just being an Ozbargainer, I always try first for the better deal.

  • Its best to call up the harvey normans stores, its seems some jacked up prices for today sale whereas others have the online rrp prices. If you want jacked up prices Harvey Norman go to Cannington in WA. i asked the sales guy to match the online rrp for the 61010 HP and the sales guy said no. i called up the harvey norman at Belmont Forum and ask how much there were $999. Whoop whoop. bargain :)

  • is the one that i have. first year $0 then afterwards $90 cheap when considering they have complimentary travel insurance which always cost a fortune.

    • the problem with that is when you need to claim you have to pay an excess which starts from $100+. So it may be better to pay upfront for the 2-3 year policy. In my case i got 2 years for $100 which is better than having to pay $100 down the track for a policy which may not even replace the item and opt to repair it. Insurance is usually though Zurich so you may want to read their PDS rather than just relying on what the bank tells you as if you need to make a claim you will be dealing solely with the insurance company.

    Went to Adelaide CBD who had heaps, took a look and didn't buy it.
    Seriously though, is everyone buying the cheap ones just for the hell of it? The specs are pretty crap and all you can basically do is do web browsing on it and use word.

      You check this thread but you have no idea what is ultrabook?

      We want light and long battery hrs not powerful.

  • bought the HP 13-1016tu for the mother. @ $999 ($500 cash back to $499) - seems reasonable - at least a $100 off anywhere else I saw.

    • err but that's a notebook isn't it? So are you sure that included the cashback?

      • No, that's the Folio 13 ultrabook. There's also the 1008 which is an i5.
        And FYI, they're all technically 'notebooks'.

        • was gonna get the folio 13 ultrabook, then I checked my phone and the redemption period for the beats has been run and won. So got the 1001 TX display model instead (well my dad did…) for 1241 with free dvd driver+bag+mouse because it was a display model and we were upset that they didn't have the 1010.

  • Acer S3/Envy sold out at HN - WA O'Connor

    • Same at HN City West WA around lunchtime. They had 4 of the S3s for sale in the morning. Tried to price match at JB in the city but no deal lol

      • The guy at JB laughed when I asked :/

  • They jacked up the prices @ my local HN, smh

  • Guys and Girls,

    I will let you in on a secret.

    You can ask the store to back order the laptop you want and pick up the laptop another day as long as the receipt is dated 30/6/12.

    This means you can claim the $500 cashback.

    My work mate brought 2 ASUS UX21E-KX007V and we back ordered 2 ASUS UX21E-KX007V as well.

    This is help all of you who missed out as no stock.

    • I asked HN Gepps Cross (SA) and they said they can't do this. Poop.

      • depends on store and sales person

    • Make sure you can get it before the CB expire.

    • People get into trouble doing this since they do regular reconciliations of what was sold back to what was in stock. The store cannot sell what is not in stock and should not do so for rebate schemes such as this.

    • I don't think you can do this. I asked it before to get HP Envy. But the sales person said you can't get a cash back with a back order items.
      As you know, you need a serial number to claim the cash back.

      • not sure but sales assistant was confident it was possible and so am i as i have a receipt dated 30/6/12 and it is in the terms and condition.

        Doesnt say anything about serial.

        • Let us know how that turns out. Sounds like a plan!

        • emailed their cash back enquiry. Will let you know

        • what did they response?

    lol, love claiming the $500 ultrabook rebate on my hp envy 6 given that at 1.98cm high, it's actually thicker than the new macbook pros (1.8cm) =P

  • Done, bought one.. best buy ever.. essentially, you could get it for like $300(if you sell the headphones).. best ultra book buy you will ever find.. especially for a i5, not even my friend who works for HP office can get it that cheap..

    guy at the counter said it was the last one and it was like 1200, i said online its 999, he said its an online price.. i was like ok.. well dnno how you can do that.. if thats the case im not gonna bother, he said well will you take it if its 999..
    I said, yeah but you know i'm not stupid, i know people have been coming in at that price because i called up this morning and you had over 10 in stock.. his supervisor was not impressed that he was trying to gouge out more from me.. lol..

  • Question: On ultrabook cashback redemption form, they didn't ask for bank details, how can we get cash back, cash????

    • if its like last time, you get a cheque.

    • They post you a cheque. Apparently thats how it worked last time they were doing $300 cash back on ultrabooks

  • if anyone interested, i am willing to sell my HP envy 6 for $500. When the beats headphones come in, i will give you that aswell….. can pickup in sydney… cheers

    • yep im interested, tried to pm but wouldn't allow me to

      edit: Is the HP 15.6? If so i will have to pass. Sorry

    • how do i contact you?

    • Would be interested in buying it. Can pickup as early as tomorrow morning as i am in Sydney as well.Can contact me on useandthrow123 at yahoo.com.au and will provide you the contact number, thanks.

    • Would u like to swap the HP with my Acer s3? I'll pay extra of course..

    • Will offer $520 if interested

  • To people who got the beats headphones via redemption, how much did shipping cost?
    Since apparently you have to pay them to ship it to you.

    • +1

      $19.95 P&H

    • +1

      From the website FAQ, it costs $19.95 for postage.

      • From my claim email:

        "Once we have your received the above we will validate your claim and, if approved, you will receive an approval email. This email will contain the instructions on how to pay the postage and handling for your Beats Audio Solo Headphones. These will not be sent until your payment has been received."

        So you pay for shipping later on in the process.

  • I purchased $1241 for ENVY 6-1001tx at first HN, they don't have any at front, the guy check the computer and tell me price is $1241. At second HN i saw an advertised paper outside for 6-1001tx $987, I want crying… but I come in store, the price tag on Laptop is $1299, I asked the staff, the guy spent $15 mins, and tell me another guy printed the wrong price outside, and also that is yesterday's price, today $1299 can't be less as it got $500 cash back… All stores different..

    • not just all stores different but each sales person is different too.

  • Anyone know how to claim the Headphone Beasts for the HP envy, i read the promotion on HP website , it said i have to cut the bar code from the box and send it together but there are bar code on the box .

    • Yep, I want to me as well, lots of barcode on my box, which they need

      • Its the black label on the side of the box. Cut that out - just go around the edge with a sharp knife and pull it up and off. Take a photo of the original bar barcode and keep it as a back up before you post. And make sure you send it via registered post.

  • Cant wait till the next cash back… $300… $500… $x00 :P

    1. HP Envy 6 1010 - $999 - $500 = $499!
    2. free headphones to ebay
    3. tax deductions
    4. ?????
    5. Profit!!!
  • Hi guys. I bought the Acer S3 but changed my mind to the HP envy 6. Item not opened, still brand new in box. Any one interested to swap? The hp should also be in brand new sealed condition. Inbox me here or text 0422314256. Cheers. Alan.

  • I purchased ENVY 6-1001tx at $1241, but feel 15‘ is too big for me. So if someone interested it, i can pass it to you on that price. or after I get $500, i can give it to you on $740, i live in brisbane.

    • Hi, would you message me please?

  • For that beat headphone, we have to pay the
    Q: How much do I have to pay for Postage & Handling?
    A: $19.95 AUD

    'Once we have your received the above we will validate your claim and, if approved, you will receive an approval email. This email will contain the instructions on how to pay the postage and handling for your Beats Audio Solo Headphones. These will not be sent until your payment has been received.'

  • I was torn between Acer S3, Toshiba U840 and HP Envy 6-1010TU.
    But there was no stock for Acer S3 and Toshiba U840 in my local Harvey Norman@Belrose.
    So the choice is clear :)
    Before I got HP Envy 6-1010TU, I thought a 15.6" Ultrabook would be a joke as it will be too heavy.
    Once I got it in my hand, it feels good~~~

    Here is a scam in action:

    http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hawthorn/laptops/hp-envy-6-be…

    people buying the machine - selling it for the original price they bought it for. They would have taken a copy of the receipt to claim the $500 AND the Beats Solo Headphones before the next buyer finds out.

    Making up to $650 in the process ($500 Rebate + $150 Beats)
