Hi there,

Last week, I found an incredible deal on Officeworks website.
It's a deal : Samsung XE700T1A-A01 Slate PC at Price $299 with Dock and Bluetooth Keyboard

I didn't realized that its price was far below its value, but after a few mins I checked all other websites, e.g. JB Hi-Fi, Dick Smith, Harvey Norman, MLN, MSY, EBay, even Samsung's official website. All clues pointed out that this Slate PC worthies more than AU$1000(that's the PC only price, no mention the Dock and Bluetooth keyboard).

Dock worthies : AU$79, Bluetooth Keyboard : AU$99

I even did a comparison between this tablet-like PC with other Windows tablets e.g. Acer Iconia W510($498) and Lenovo ThinkPad Tab2($894). The hardware configuration of this Samsung Slate PC far outperforms its rivals.(Please see the comparison of hardware screen shot). And it's a 64 bit PC with 4GB memory, 64GB hard drive, Intel Core I5 2467M CPU!!!

The only disadvantage(maybe an advantage for somebody) might be : it's a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS. But I don't care about it, because I still have one extra Windows 8 Pro which I bought half a year ago when it's just US$14.95.

I just couldn't figure it out why it's so cheap(Samsung official website: AU$ 1699.99, other rest of others range from AU$800+ to AU$1200). I think it's a wrong price tag.

Btw, I got it one the same day when I put my order. (1AM ordered, 4PM received)

I am still so excited about this deal, can anyone tell me why it's this cheap?

  Looks like a pricing error. Can't find it on OW website anymore.

  Looks like that is an old/discontinued model. The new ones with the model number ended with 1c instead of 1a. You are lucky to get the last one. ;-)

    ha, yes, I guess it's old model. But no matter how old is it, look at its hardware configuration, it's undervalued haha :)

      Well. You are lucky anyway. Officeworks always reduce discontinued items to unbelivable only if you can find them.

        do you know any other companies which do this policy as well?

        I'd like to develop an app to scrape the relevant data from their websites :)

        Btw, its hardware is much better than the mainstream windows 8 tablets on the market.
