ASUS UX303UB Laptop Availability (Dick Smith playing funny bu99gers)

Llowballs on 01/02/2016 - 20:28

So the ASUS UX303UB laptop was on sale a few times from Dick Smith, but it didn't really matter because there was no stock available.

Now, it seems, Dick Smith has raised the price to $1799, but again it doesn't really matter because there is no stock.

But DS seems to be the only retailer that's carrying this model in Australia - I suspect because they got an exclusive deal from ASUS…

ASUS must be kicking themselves. The UX303UB is the best value/dollar laptop on the market, and it seems ASUS have found themselves stuck in an exclusive arrangement with a retailer that isn't replenishing stock, and isn't taking orders.

Surely ASUS had a clause that let's them void any exclusive arrangement, in the event of receivership?

    I don't get why you'd bother dealing with DSE Liquidators. ASUS ain't kicking themselves. You are going by speculations without solid facts! The fact is, if DSE doesn't have it instock.. don't keep on banging your head against the wall… and move on.

    Dick Smith cannot afford to buy more stock — they are going under. They are not replenishing any stock either.

    As far as I can tell from some Dick Smith stores their laptops are whatever's left in their warehouses, because none of their stock is showing the new 6th gen Intels.

    That laptop is not even that good. Just go on the microsoft store and get one of those signature edition laptops.
    DSE doesn't owe you anything, so stop wasting your time with them.
    It has crap build quality, the hinge is still not good enough, that graphics card is absolutely garbage and it has a slow SSD.

    Anyone still want the ASUS ZenBook UX303UB i7 13.3" FHD 256GB SSD @ $1320 ebay group buy deal? I requested my order to be cancelled since I decided not to have it because I intended to use HTC vivi, but I expect a weekend's time for them to process it, if anyone want one in the interim I can arrange the order be paid and deliverred to you instead.
