Hi,
I came across this deal yesterday whilst looking for the Envy Dv7, at the top was DSE - I'm not particularly a fan of Dick Smith and called Officeworks to question whether they'd price match, they did and took another $83 off making it $1595 which I was told wasn't far off the cost price. Have no idea how much longer they'll be at this price but thought this might be of some use for someone after a high performance laptop. I think Dick Smith have little to no stock (shock, horror) but Officeworks were prepared to match.

Checked my link to Officeworks was working and they've dropped their price from $1999 to the $1679, Still not a bad price though.
