So I was looking around for a laptop and I came across this expired deal here:
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/98994

But when I went to the page, the sale is on again? 30% off.
A further 1% off can also be applied if you're a student, Government worker (? - Teachers can get it), and some corporate thing. You need to talk to customer service online. Price would then $890.00!

It has dedicated graphics and it seems pretty good in my opinion.

  Good price. I paid same for the 15.4" version of this (15R) with pretty much same specs, except I have an Intel SSD cache thingie with my 1TB drive.

  For someone wanting a desktop replacement (and dont lug it around every day), the 17R is the way to go.

    Online Price $1,298.99
    Cash Off $400.00

    Discounted Price is ……$898.9

    Would've bought in an instant (and paid some more) to get a version with SSD. Don't think the HDD would last too long if I use it on the bumpy bus commute morning and afternoons.

      The Inspiron 17R SEs don't have an SSD option. But they have a 2nd hard drive bay, so you can buy/install your own SSD.

      I don't think your lap would last too long with this 3.3 kg laptop bumping up and down on it.

  If anyone going to buy this, make sure you upgrade to InHome service warranty for additional $69.05. Otherwise if you need repair, you have to pay to mail to the service centre both ways.

    Should I consider or bother with a 3 year warranty?

      If you're gonna use the laptop for a mission critical business, then consider extending warranty. Otherwise, any MAJOR failures/defects after year one are covered by Australian Consumer Law (ACL)…
