    Nice, dropping in price fast. :)

  • +3

    pricematch yay :)

    • +3

      to the cheap arses who gave me "-", what's wrong with pricematch?

  • Should I upgrade from my tft300?

    • No

      • I have the same question as Hindi… Hm…So you reckon the asus transformer tf300t still better, why tho?

        • The. Bwt value computer is the one you already own, and the performance difference isn't worth upgrading for in the real world for 90% of applications

  • Thank you!
    Wanted to wait another 6 months for more nay trail options but i think at this price its a good purchase…

  • Is this same as the one Officeworks is selling? http://www.officeworks.com.au/retail/products/Technology/Lap…
    Then 5% price matching will reduce the price down to 426.79

    • Ain't 10% price beat at the moment?

      • afaik, the 10% price beat is for back to school stationery items only.

        • +1

          I thought it was for school lists? ("yes, my school wants me to get T100 wink").

  • +7

    Some reason I got 10% off the Myer price at OW so it came to $404.32

    Thanks OP!

    Edit: Just realised it must have been on a school list.

    • +1

      Receipt pls to price match?

      • You don't need one. Just show them the Myer link.

  • +4

    Same 10% off pm at ow. And i paid using ing so further 5% off. And another 10% off when i claim the gst at trs!

    Happy day. Thanks OP!

    • It appears someone downvoted you and me.

      • Yeah. Not sure why :)

  • Did you pm instore?

  • -1

    I wish I got 45 giftcards from scoopon last year:)

  • Will jbhifi do price beat with 10%?

    • +3

      no

  • +5

    bought one a couple of weeks back, top stuff! you're getting about half the performance of a recent Intel Core i5 but with the battery life of a good netbook, i.e about 10 or 11 hours of wifi browsing, one reviewer said 12hr, the bad? although it's very light(~600g tablet only) it's all shiny plastic i.e scratches easy except for screen which is supposed to be Gorilla glass, oh and top part of touchpad has a dead zone, and battery charging is s-l-o-w but lots of tablets have slow charge times as well

  • If these drop below $400 in Aus day sales I'll be snagging one in a heartbeat.

  • Does it allow you to stream flash?

    • +1

      yes

    • It runs the full x86 Windows so it can do anything your desktop PC can do.

  • +3

    that "2GB graphics" is misleading info

  • +2

    Bought T100 3 months back when it just launch to market from US, no complains at all! Love having a tablet with Win8 and traditional desktop

    For those who never used win8 before, strongly recommend to install StartMenu8 (freeware)

  • +2

    Recently had one of these to setup for a friend, very impressive for the price.

    Whatever you do, don't enable drive encryption on this! Windows 8 allows you to easily encrypt the drive, but both times I tried it resulted in a corrupt install of Windows and I had to do a factory restore on it. Probably something to do with the cheap soldered on "SSD".

    Also there is a major firmware update which fixes a lot of major issues. You should do it as soon as you get it in case something goes wrong.

  • +2

    IMO, metro internet explorer on a tablet is the pick for simple, easy to use internet. Same goes for the email app with the auto snapping and resizing of snaps being a great feature. The bonus is, being full windows, you can still use chrome etc (not touch friendly browsers yet) if you run into problems.

    Very tempted to upgrade my ME400 to this.

    • dunno about that, i went into jb had a play , went into bing search and couldnt get out of it. no back key to be found lol

      • The windows logo will take you back to the main screen

  • Was wanting to replace my iPad 2 with an Android tablet of some sort, but this is tempting.

  • I want a 10" Bay Trail tab with 3G/LTE. Any contenders?

  • Got knocked back from OW for pricing matching saying the item wont be available in my area until 21/01. An got told to call back on the 21/01.

    Can anyone find where it say available in store?

    • I got mine from Clarence St, Sydney CBD this morning. Plenty in stock!

      None for Camperdown and Pitt St Store.

  • Got the last one from ow Pitt st Sydney

  • Got one this morning office works Belconnen. 5% off. 2 left!

    Thanks OP!

  • +1

    I just got mine from officeworks Nowra. The school list 10% price match was automatically applied as opposed to the usual 5%. They had stock left too, the operator said they had a "few".
    Thanks OP.

  • No rear camera spoils these for me. Any comparable windows tablet/transformer with similar specs?

  • It will be interesting to see how much the ASUS Duet will retail for when it comes out http://www.gizmag.com/asus-transformer-book-duet-dual-androi…

  • +1

    Be careful guys. OW fivedock charged me $449.25 despite mentioning of myer price. Didn't give me 5‰ off when I checked my receipt. Now I have to go back and ask for the 5% off price match.

    For those who got 10% off, which school list has 10% off price match? Did you have to mention it?

    • +1

      My conversation went something like this.
      note this was after I had showed them the Myer price.

      Me "Apparently it is also on the school list so people are getting 10% price beat as well"
      OW lady "well if it's in the system it will do it automatically"

      She proceeded to enter the Myer price then the system automatically deducted 10%.

      I hope this helps.

      • Thanks. I will try it and report back

      • Ok Lady insisted it was only 5% and not 10%. But receipt says I paid $404.32.

        • +4

          Well then I would suggest the OW lady needs to go back to school.
          I'm glad you got the 10% discount.

        • haha makes me wonder how do they do the jobs at OW.

          Anyways Thanks for your advise on the 10% discount.

    • I got min eform Clarence St Sydney CBD store. The guy said 5% but really on the receipt is auto 10% off.

      My final price is $404.32.

  • Anyone had success getting 10% off at Officeworks in Brisbane?

  • Wow :) Great price. If only it had a active pen support like tf810c I would love to upgrade..

  • Yeap, got 10% off by default at Officework Adelaide St, Brisbane, once i showed them the Myer price

  • Got 10% off at the Auburn store (2144).

  • Thanks to the OP for posting the deal. Got it from office works with 10% off for $405. Myer will be wondering why they aren't flying off the shelves at that price until Officeworks change the price.

  • I got one at northmead with 10% off. I just showed them the myer ad at it scanned in at $404.32 automatically.

  • 10% off at Townsville Officeworks. Chick tried to give me only 5% off but struggled with the calculator and called over the supervisor who hit the 10% off back to school special button on the computer.

  • Amazing everyone is getting 10% off, I argued the point then he said I had to tell him the school list it is on otherwise just the 5%.

    I'm not complaining, going to claim it as a tax item for work and also trs, been hanging on for a decent W8 tablet under $500 and know they will fly out!

  • +1

    Got the last one at Officeworks Greenacre.
    I said, "Do you have the ASUS T100 in stock?" He said, "Yeah, want to price match with Myer? It comes down to $404."

    Cheering! Time to sell that Surface I bought from JB not too long ago!

  • Does anyone know the validity of the (Myer) offer?

  • +1

    looks like most got the 10% off, considering they're giving a $45 discount on top of pricematch(total discount ~$124) i think OW have dropped the ball on this by not changing the price to match Myer as they usually do, or maybe "Barry" the intern who checks competitor prices at HO doesn't work on Sundays…
    ps if you bought a Surface RT i would sell it and walk, no wait, RUN and buy this before stock dries up!

  • looking at getting one of these today.

    can someone who has one please tell me if it does actually have a micro sd slot? it's not mentioned in any of the specs i've seen…

    Edit: my bad, it does say on the myer site. so many instances of "micro" jumbled mah brains :O

  • Out of stock in Five Dock, was told to make the purchase over the phone.

    edit: …the purchase which I'm unable to do due to call being outside of normal business hours…good trick ow.

  • Has anyone tried streaming 1080p over wifi onto a TV via the micro-hdmi? Only found 1 youtube video but she didn't know how to extend the screen and only cloned it, so couldn't max out the reso on it.

  • No luck getting 10% here only 5%.

    The lady said we had to have a school list to get the 10%.

    We also had to order ours in, so maybe that's why it didn't auto price match.

    So $426

    • +1

      Same here, 5% only. Still, pretty good considering I was going to get it for $479 a couple of weeks ago!

      Also for anyone looking for stock in SA, the OW at Gilles Plains still had stock when I bought mine near closing today :)

    • It is on the catalogue the exact same model for $569 "Asus T100" and 10% price beat guarantee printed near the end of the catalogue

      • It does say "on a quoted school list" which as I'm a uni student, not a high-school student, I don't have.

  • went to Kogarah store this morning where their website says limited stock
    asked the staff for stock level then the guy said no, they only have a few faulty units there

    then went to Punchbowl store where their website says in stock
    asked the staff for stock level, the guy had a quick look then said yes
    then I asked if they do price match he replied yes and asked is it Myer and ozbargain?
    no need to explain then he look up Myer's site to confirm price
    no problem with price matching
    BUT when he went to check stock, he took more than 15min then came back and said they have no stock, they only have the faulty units…
    I was like #@$^@#!& and thought he must lied
    then he said he can transfer the unit from other store if I wish
    he called Campbelltown and they confirmed the stock and have arranged the transfer for me

    for those who can't find any stock, hope this help

    • In five dock they said most if not all stores are out of stock and therefore they're unable transfer anything. I bet they'll magically start having stock after myer sale is over…

      • +9

        give the OW staff member the middle finger(with your mind)!

        me: i 'd like to buy the Asus T100 please
        OW: did you want the pricematch with Myer? i don't think we have anymore stock, but i can have a look if….
        me: no i think the Myer sale finished yesterday
        OW: oh yes i think we have one more left, let me get that for you
        [wait]
        me: great! oh wait i was mistaken, the Myer sale finishes tomorrow, and yes thanks for offering the pricematch, i'll take you up on that!
        OW: (grumble,mumble)

        • +1

          You gave it to them well and truly.

          Love your style!

          Make them honour (not worm out of) their price matching policy.

          I have personally taken an Officeworks manager(ess) to task at the front of the store in the present of dozens of customers when she was trying to lie her way out of price matching MSY.

          Make them pay! Be bold!

  • Got the 10% at officeworks highett, Vic, with no issue, sounded like it was there last boxed unit though

  • Are the guys buying Officework units getting the gen 1 with the Windows logo on the bottom of front bezel?

    They removed it in a later manufacturing run as it was confusing everyone who thought it was the windows button.

    • Is that the only difference? The display model at Officeworks had the Windows logo, dunno what I'll get when my order comes in.
      I don't care about the logo, in fact I may even prefer it.

      • I'm unsure if that is the ONLY difference

        We got one from Officeworks which was older stock than a second one purchased at JB. The JB unit had a later BIOS and drivers preinstalled, as well as the (confusing) Windows logo removed.

    • +1

      Mine doesn't have the logo. I was wondering where it went since the reviews I saw had it. I'm glad I got a newer one though since the first run seemed to have a lot of problems.

      • +1

        How do you find the build quality? Ours are a little creaky around the left side, right where you would hold it between palm and thumb (as if the plastic clips are .5mm short). A case will hide that fact though. The volume buttons are a little tappy too, not as tight as on higher-end tabs.

        Still great for the price though.

        • +1

          Yeah pretty good. Don't have any of the issues you have with yours, but my keyboard doesn't sit completely flat on the table (bottom right corner doesn't touch). The touchpad is a bit crap though.

        • i bought 2, one is great while the other has some issue with the track pad (the left click and right click buttons arent very responsive at the bottom corners.

    • mine from OW are the new ones without the windows logo

  • +1

    Also if anyone is interested in some free (normally paid) Disney Windows 8 games that presumably will work well on tablet, check this post:

    Dunno what they are like, however.

  • Share the OzBargain love!
    If anyone wants to try and price-match the +10% discount at Jb/Hn/bing lee etc I'm happy to send you a copy of my officeworks receipt for this deal - just send me a PM.

  • amazing deal so i got 2 from OW for 404 each plus i will be going on a trip next fri so another 75 off from VAT.

    JB Hifi and Bing Lee refused to price match as 449 is below their cost price.

    • First time i heard Myer sale price is below other retailer cost price. Normally is the other way round.

  • +1

    "was $599.00 now $599.00"
    sigh

  • For anybody who missed out on the deal yesterday. Still managed to get it price matched at office works by bringing in a print out from the Myers site(printed yesterday when it still showed discounted price).

  • +1

    I printed this yesterday …. apologies it has my chicken scratching (handwriting) of my local officeworks phone number written on the top

    but hopefully it helps somebody

  • If the Myer price match is a fail, Dick Smith currently have these for A$549 which is cheaper than the OW catalogue price (A$568.) So with 10% off the DS price, you should be able to pick one of these up for A$494 at the very least. Expiry 22/1.

    Hi all - for those of you who have bought the Asus T100TA - make sure you update the bios!

    • Yeah, thats the first thing I'm gonna do when Officeworks gets mine in.
      Patiently waiting…
