Receive a Bonus Xbox Series S 1Tb Valued at $548 with the purchase of selected Copilot+ PC's.

Other machines - https://www.harveynorman.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=copi…

Bonus is valid from 11:59PM 4 December 2024 - 9 December 2024
Bonus Xbox supplied at time of purchase.
Selected Copilot+ PC's only excludes all Microsoft Surface Copilot+ PC's.

Black Friday this was on sale pretty much everywhere for $987, so throw in the Xbox and it is about the same. However if you want an Xbox you can now sneak this past the wife (or your circumstances equivalent) as being "free"!

  The XBox Series S is now about 4 years old, and is the smaller less powerful version of the XBox Series X.

  My take, if you're an awid gamer, you already probably have a PS5, Series X and/ or waiting on the new PS6.

  Good for gifting to a non gamer or ex gamer this Christmas.

  Hmmm, if you return the laptop would you get a refund and keep the 'bonus' xbox? Not much detail in the terms and conditions…

    I think your main blocker here would be Harvey Norman not accepting 'change of mind' returns.
    YMMV with franchises that might have more lax terms.

  2 products that does not sell well, bundled together, Windows Laptop with snapdragon CPU and Xbox. But why is windows snapdragon laptop sales is low? Is it because it is sluggish and not good? Some reviewer actually praised windows with snapdragon CPU, right?

    happydude on 05/12/2024 - 10:59

    Reviewers have been positive but concerned about app, game and device driver compatibility. The argument is for the price why wouldn't you just buy x86? It remains to be been if developers will bother making ARM versions. It does come with a built in emulator but apparently doesn't run everything.

    And it is in not the first foray of Windows into ARM. Previous times failed. So I think the developers are playing wait and see on sales to decide how much native support they want to give, while consumers are waiting for developers to act.

    So it's a bit of a stalemate right now.

    snapdragon’s have been selling well here, would confidently say a third or a quarter of windows laptops out the door are snapdragons

      Do customers know what they are getting? i.e. are they attracted to snapdragon for battery life etc, or is that they are just competitively priced and people who don't know the difference between Intel, AMD, Snapdragon find the overall package and price compelling?

      I do hope snapdragon has legs. I'm on an m1 MacBook Air and even tho 8gb ram it's the best laptop experience ever. I want windows users to have that battery life and apple to have the competition.

        yes, we need to make sure snapdragon will do everything they need it to otherwise they can return under ACL as its not compatible and we recommended it. pricing is all similar when comparing intel ultra 2
        they are amazing laptops, but wish they were more compatible with programs atm.

          @HardlyNormal: Can you expand upon this? What applications or use cases are Intel Core Ultra Series 2 chips not compatible with?

            @duncancan: My son's highschool BYOD specifications says do not get devices such as Surface Pro X as the software used at the school is not compatible with ARM architecture. My take is, for as long as the laptop can't run every possible piece of software is required at school/work, then it's a No for me.

            @duncancan: i think you misread, snapdragon is the only one with compatibility issues

      In terms of broader market uptake, I think happydude’s comment is still correct and the jury is still out as to whether ARM-based PCs will catch on and see wider software support. Snapdragon PCs made up only 0.8% of PCs shipped in Q3 (source) and it wasn’t that Q2 was great - Q3 sales were 180% higher than Q3 (in the source above, though they worded it poorly there. A better worded source can be found here).

      I’m personally still very curious about ARM PCs and hope they pan out, but in terms of the likelihood developers are going to support them, Harvey Norman customers/sales might not be representative.

  This highlights to me how overpriced Harvey Norman is if they can just throw in a "free" xbox

    promotion is funded by microsoft, we definitely do not make that much money on laptops.

    Harvey Norman being ‘overpriced’ is a thing of the past, our prices are extremely competitive due to the current retail market and during black friday we had key items with better offers than competitors, eg XM4’s, Edge 50 Neo’s, MacBooks etc.
    Even for this offer, Officeworks sell this laptop at $1397 without a free XSS.

    You can’t survive in retail these days overcharging for stuff, you need to be competitive in market to thrive.
