    Even at this price, still seems expensive (I guess the 'Apple tax')

  • scienceman on 19/11/2012 - 20:03

    Same price as Big W, Dick Smith's and The Good Guys.

    But if any of those happen to drop their price, even by $1, a price match would be good ($25 off)

    • bigosmallo on 19/11/2012 - 20:20

      But until they do, this is not a bargain.

  • dyziplen on 19/11/2012 - 20:05

    Not a deal, as thats the standard price at big w, target etc, and you can price match at apple stores as well.

    And its online only as well:(

    • stonedewok on 19/11/2012 - 20:33

      Given the convenience of OW store locations (compared to Apple), late opening hours and their return / refund policies, this is probably a good deal for many (along with scienceman's point about their price match policy).

      • dyziplen on 19/11/2012 - 20:48

        The convenience is out the window when its online only, although you do have the option to select local pickup.

        Otherwise Big W and Target are probably as common as Officeworks.

      • kanisius99 on 19/11/2012 - 20:53

        What's wrong with Apple return/refund policies?

        • tg on 19/11/2012 - 21:07

          Once you bitten the apple, you cannot return it to the fruit shops.
          Oh, you meant Apple…

    • ca6leguy on 20/11/2012 - 06:46

      Didn't know you can price match at Apple Store.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2012 - 20:09

    That's the price that Big W were selling it at. I ended up going back to the Apple Store just to compare. They offered to price match so I got it off them just to save another walk. So just go to Apple if they are near by and they will price match.

    • lan on 19/11/2012 - 21:24

      I think officeworks only beat the price difference by 5%

  • russta on 19/11/2012 - 20:28

    Is this the new iPad, or the new new iPad?

    • Highster on 19/11/2012 - 23:18

      In all seriousness I wonder what they will call the next ipad? Not "new new iPad" I hope.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/11/2012 - 11:03

        The new (2) iPad 5.

  • superforever on 19/11/2012 - 20:32

    They just don't want people to go there to price match.

  • FXx on 19/11/2012 - 20:34

    So this thing is officially called the 'iPad with Retina display' now is it? Not 'iPad 3rd Generation' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad_(3rd_generation))? Or is it 'The new iPad'??? WTF?

    For Christ sake… Apple's marketing of this product is ridiculous. I just hope when all the 4th gen models are out (incl. cellular models), they are called iPad 4, NOTHING ELSE!

  • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2012 - 20:34

    ipad 3rd gen = the new ipad
    ipad 4th gen = ipad with retina display

    so i guess this is the 4th gen ipad.

    • ozhunter on 19/11/2012 - 20:37

      Yep ipad 4 as it has the A6X chip.

      • FXx on 19/11/2012 - 21:58

        iPad 4 (cellular) also has 4G capability, none of the others do. That's what I'm waiting for.

    • ops2000 on 20/11/2012 - 05:31

      Both New ipad 3rd gen and 4th gen have retina display.

      Difference between the two, the 4th gen has A6x chip and a 1.2megapixel front facing camera. "Everything" else is the same.

      It's not a big difference hence the price difference is only around $8-$16 if you can find a retailer still selling the 3rd gen New Ipad.

      • endotherm on 20/11/2012 - 08:28

        Don't forget the new one uses the new Lightning connector rather than the traditional 30 pin dock connector.

        • ops2000 on 20/11/2012 - 09:36

          That also and also the 10gram difference :)

  • Peace Maker on 19/11/2012 - 20:42

    Sorry OP but I am tempted to neg based on your excessive use of exclamation points in the description (! for those from Gen Y)

    • ozhunter on 19/11/2012 - 20:46
      +5

      Tempted to neg you for thinking Gen Y don't know what are exclamation points. :) And for those that don't know, isn't it Gen X's fault?

      • Peace Maker on 19/11/2012 - 20:48
        +4

        I think they know what they are, they just call them 'those like stick things you know, like with the dot on the bottom'

        • Ace on 20/11/2012 - 03:16

          OHH, you mean upside down i's?

  • snajper on 19/11/2012 - 21:13

    how confusing…. ipad 3 had also retina display….

    • zelda707 on 19/11/2012 - 21:28
      +2

      the only difference is the processor so you have to look at the specs each time

      • Ace on 20/11/2012 - 03:18

        No doubt someone will be tricked into buying a 3rd gen thinking it's a 4th gen.

      • endotherm on 20/11/2012 - 08:29

        Faster CPU, better camera, lightning dock connector.

  • forest318 on 19/11/2012 - 21:15

    price match for 32gb? $636.02 over there, they have a real store.

  • robotdad on 19/11/2012 - 21:20

    Nice to know (for later OW price-beats), but I call BS on the current price.

  • jatin.lad on 19/11/2012 - 21:22

    excuse my lack of knowledge, but may i ask what the difference between the iPads being sold at Officeworks and the iPads sold on Kogan is? Are the Kogan ones grey imports or am I way off?

    • zelda707 on 19/11/2012 - 21:28

      the kogan ones are grey import but it shouldn't matter as Apple has worldwide warranty (i think)

      • Cap N on 19/11/2012 - 22:37

        That's correct

      • lplau on 20/11/2012 - 06:24
        +1

        Apple's worldwide warranty isn't really as worldwide as you think it is.
        There is a clause in there which allows them to selectively deny warranty in certain countries. For example, Apple in HK will not honor international warranty from iPhones bought in Australia.
