Have been hunting-about for one of these for ages, but couldn't bring myself to spending $100+

Wandered into my local (Alexandria) Bing Lee store today and spotted a shelf FULL of them for $49.00ea. I almost fell over. But my patience was rewarded when I walked another 300m up the road and asked Officeworks for a price-match. Walked out with one for $46.55.

I reckon my first OzBargain is a good one ;-) Other pricing information below.

The item ($149.00 AU rrp):
Logitech N700 Speaker Lapdesk

Best deal I could find online ($97.00 plus $11.00 postage):
Greenbox IT
http://is.gd/k3v8w

Best in-store deal I could find ($99.89)
Officeworks Alexandria
http://is.gd/k3vx3

MOD: Price-matching with officeworks isnt a deal, so i've deleted that bit from the title. The deal should be judged on the origional deal, not the pricematch discount.

      That's not the N700. The N700 has speakers and other shit.

        lol @ "speakers and other shit"

        can you be more specific ?

      FYI - that's the N500 (no speakers/amp or fan).

      That model is $38.92 at Officeworks http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Per…

      I'd be happy to proxy-buy for people, subject to stock still being available later this week, but suspect the $15-20 for postage (it's a big box!) would turn many people off.

  • ace12 on 04/01/2011 - 15:09

    Hey mate do you by any chance know if prices across the different Bing Lee stores are the same? Might go over to the Chinatown store if it is.

    • ash2000 on 04/01/2011 - 15:17

      Good luck finding them on George St….being the smallest Bing Lee in the country, they stock a very limited range. If your in the City, head to Officeworks Wynyard and get them to price match it.

      • ace12 on 04/01/2011 - 15:39

        Cheers for the reply Ash, do you think OW will price match it if the closest Bing Lee is out of stock? Just feeling lazy to walk all the way there after work knowing I'll probably have to bargain real hard with those staff…

        • ash2000 on 04/01/2011 - 20:09

          Officeworks is EXTREMELY easy to price match with …. I done it at least a dozen times over recent years.

          They'll price match any store within Sydney (and suburbs) no need to haggle, no questions asked, just give them the number of a store with stock and the model of the product and your done!

          I remember price matching a mouse once that was $119 on the shelf, and the matched price (less the 5% off they give you) was $28.50.

    • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2011 - 16:14

      Hey ya. Absolutely no idea. Haven't seen a Bing Lee catalogue in ages and, indeed, wasn't even expecting them to have any when I went browsing at the Alexandria store today.

  • ash2000 on 04/01/2011 - 15:13

    Nice write-up and good bargain!

    Great post! I was considering one of these (my laptop usually fries my balls off) so will grab one of these. How does Officeworks's pricematch work? Do you need the printed catalogue? Or will they call to check?

    • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2011 - 16:06

      I just showed the Officeworks person my mobile and they phoned the Alexandria Bing Lee store to confirm the pricing/stock availability.

      • calcium on 04/01/2011 - 16:07

        Are you in NSW? Just trying to work out if OW Vic would do it.

        Oops… didnt realise you were the Op. Ignore question.

          +3

          Yes, mate, I'm in Sydney. The Officework LPG (ref http://is.gd/k3RhA) does not stipulate that it has to be a local store with stock. For your reference, the following store has 12 units in stock as at 1.15pm today:

          Bing Lee Alexandria
          Homemaker Centre Shop T1.8
          49-59 O'Riordan Street
          Alexandria NSW 2017
          Telephone: 02 9317 2677

          Hope this helps.

    Just picked one up from bing lee George st, the guy at the store said 150 then I said is that the best? Then he said 79, then I said bing lee Alexandria is selling it for 49! Then I got it for that! Thanks again for good deal!

    • [Deactivated] on 04/01/2011 - 17:31

      Will probably check tomorrow.

    • mcwatcher on 05/01/2011 - 17:56

      Belconnen doesnt have any in store - but they are shipping one over from Fyshwick for me. Price is 49 dollars in their system.

  • kingwang on 04/01/2011 - 18:25

      I use it with an Alienware m17x - width is more than ample but it hangs over the back about ~1cm or so.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2011 - 08:38

      17" no no problem at all, but you start encroaching over the speaker on each side which may affect the audio a little. My largest laptop is only 15" otherwise I'd take a happy snap for you.

    • happykamper on 05/01/2011 - 14:52

      Thanks for the replies, I think I'll grab one!

  • snippy on 04/01/2011 - 23:11

    I saw a couple in the Auburn OfficeWorks. I got in at like 10pm when they just closed the register so they are holding it for me till tomorrow. I pray that they will price match! Great Bargain!

  • spida on 05/01/2011 - 09:51

    Went to Strathfield OW yesterday afternoon + printed receipts from OP. Salesperson called up Bing Lee and was apparently told its on sale for $99 there :(

    Im going back today with the Bing Lee alexandria store number and see how that goes.

    im just going to go to the city officeworks at sydney cbd, see if they have it - if so get them to match price and give them alexandria bing lee contact number and the printout to see how that goes

    top find, will be good for sis

    EDIT: ok scratch that, alexandra doesn't have anymore as I called to confirm just in case, guess i'll go bargain hunting for a BL that has them still

    • prankster on 05/01/2011 - 11:02

      investigation: penrith doesn't have them on sale, cabramatta said it was 149 , will do special for me 99 lol
      casula don't have any, liverpool also don't have any

    • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2011 - 11:10

      Wow! Officeworks at Alexandria had LOTS in stock when I was there yesterday, I'm wondering if they've pulled stock from the shelves until Bing Lee has finished their sale?

      • prankster on 05/01/2011 - 11:19

        investigation, if you plan to it at OW, you should call them just in case because theres not at the city, he did say there were 6 at blacktown so might try my luck there + depends if they want to match price too =p

        • phil1234 on 05/01/2011 - 14:35

          Just got price matched at the Blacktown OW for $42. Thanks for posting this.

    Notice everyone in the promo photos is using the trackpad..

    This thing without an additional mouse pad = fail.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2011 - 14:53

      FWIW, if the laptop is less than or equal to 14 inch, there's heaps of room for a mouse. If it's fail for you, just don't buy one. Simple :-)

  • justtoreply on 05/01/2011 - 11:50

    Uh nevermind, I thought Dick smith was selling for $49 too, but the photo in the catalogue doesn't look like it has speakers and doesnt give a model number.

    http://dicksmith.com.au/offer/logitechbacktoschool if anyone was curious but I'm sure theyre not the same.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/01/2011 - 14:50

      Definitely NOT the same. That's the N500 (which OW has for under $38.92 http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Per…). No speakers. No cooling.

      There's also an N550 which is a smaller version of the N700 - same speakers & amp - but with passive cooling instead of a powered fan.

  • emptypocket on 05/01/2011 - 12:02

    Damn I really wanted one was gonna go in and get one today but Alexandria are out. Does anyone know if u can still get it for 49$ from anywhere? Coz ow and the like won't do it without stock available

  • aznice on 05/01/2011 - 14:33

    Just bought 2 from south strathfield officeworks, it is already priced at $49, there's one left so be quick! No need to pricematch as it's already $49 for some reason!

    • prankster on 05/01/2011 - 15:13

      • jtb on 05/01/2011 - 16:51

        I just got one from the OW at Glebe (Cnr Parramatta rd & Ross St). It's priced at $99 but scans at $49. There was one left at the Glebe OW when I was there (an hour ago).

        • jasey_328 on 05/01/2011 - 17:12

          Yep, can confirm that too. Officeworks CBD sold out but they had it at $99, but Glebe (thanks to Sydney Buses finally!) had three at $49 and i got one. Looks like they'll be sold out, but if it scans @ Glebe, surely somewhere else will scan @ $49 too

        • prankster on 05/01/2011 - 17:17

    As far as I know, Blacktown and Carlingford (both NSW) also have stock.

    Update from my next-door neighbour (as at ~5.25pm today when he went out to grab two for himself):

    Officeworks Alexandria NSW - NIL in stock. Empty shelf still showing $99.89 (hehehe)

    Bing Lee Alexandria NSW - five (5) in stock. Sale price of $49.00 still shown

    • emptypocket on 05/01/2011 - 21:22

      Alexandria store is stupid… I called them this morning to check if they had any and they said they didn't. I ended up just going to ow in Carlton, nsw n they had it tagged at 99 too but scanned up as 49. They were going to beat it too :( but I'm still happy for 49 :)

      Which store did you find some in?

  • furniturefetish on 06/01/2011 - 17:13

    We just ordered 2 over the phone from Officeworks. Although the lady I spoke to didn't realise why some stores were scanning at $49 since they are $99 on their system. However they matched the price due to that reason. Only cost about $4 delivery for 2 of them which was great.
    Thanks OP

    • covert on 06/01/2011 - 19:46

      What state are you in ?

      • furniturefetish on 07/01/2011 - 17:18

        We are in QLD. They just delivered them to our warehouse today actually which was quick considering we ordered on the phone yesterday afternoon.

  • furniturefetish on 06/01/2011 - 17:14

    By the way that was by calling 1300OFFICE not by calling an actual store.

  • spida on 06/01/2011 - 17:28

    This is crazy! I've been calling & running around looking for this product with no luck! Saw the same product at Wireless1-Parra for $136 & they refused to do price match :-(
    Finallly today, I called BL in Haymarket, was told they sold out but I can 'order' and pick it up early next wk with same price. Not bad.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/01/2011 - 16:28

      I just called the Haymarket store and they told me I can have it at the $49 when it comes in if Logitech gives them the same deal.
      Let me know how it goes for you and I'll rush over.

      EDIT: BL Rockdale has 2 in stock

  • depthcharge101 on 07/01/2011 - 14:36

    Tried Melbourne CBD Officeworks, no deal =/ The guy said the reason is because Bing Lee doesn't ship to their store.
