Acer eM250 Netbook $198 after cashback - Harvey Norman Saturday 3 April, one hour only

1100

Acer Netbook 10.1ā€ LED screen. Wireless connections. Integrated webcam. Multi-in-1 card reader. Weight 1.1kg. Microsoft Windows XP. 160GB hard drive disc 1GB RAM. Intel Atom processor 1.6GHz. Same as what Coles was selling for $389 earlier this year - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/21689 Pay $237, then claim $39 back from Acer? From what I have read from the Coles offer, it has a 3 cell battery that lasts about 3.5 hours.

For first hour of Saturday only.

Also a Samsung 42 inch HD Plasma for $648, but not limited to the first hour.

My first submission.

        • Hi
          Ok I know your raincheck.
          I will email franchisee now and get him to contact you asap.

          Apologies that you have not heard anything.
          You are on the list.

  • Hi
    We will have the cashback extended by Acer if it needs to be.
    You will not be disadvantaged if there is any timimg issues.

    Thanks,

    Gary

    This still true for people just getting netbooks on or after 29 April ?

    • Hi
      Yes.
      It will be extended for as long as it takes for Acer to ship all stock and for us to fulfill.
      Any issues let me know.

      Gary

      • can you contact me with your email address, it says your email is unavailable.

  • Mine is in the store as of yesterday. Going to pick it up tomorrow, hoping for a 6 cell battery too. HN have been great, with them calling me with an update a couple of weeks ago, and the manager telling me he would sell it to me for $198 if it arrived after the $39 cashback ended. Top marks :)

  • Dang… I got a 3 cell, but I guess getting a 6 cell was an unexpected bonus for some.

    • That sucks! Out of all the ppl to end up without the 6 cell bonus…
      Just a thought…
      Gary isn't there some bonus HN could arrange for Maltopia?
      Or maybe Ozbargain could arrange a bonus for Maltopia?
      The rest of us Ozbargainers benifited bc of Maltopia's post after all.

        Hi Gary,

        O'Connor in Perth. Would be great if you could help out in some way!

        Thanks,

          Thanks Maltopia for having posted this bargain on OzBargain. Best deal in a long time.

          By the way - might be best if your conversation with Gary is carried out via email rather than on a public forum - drop him a line at [email protected] and make sure to include your OzB ID. He's usually very quick to respond.

          Loving my new little machine! So thanks again.

        • Hi Mal
          I have an email back from Ted Johnson who is the franchisee there and he is going to contact you direct.
          Let me know how everything goes.

          Thanks

          Gary

          • @gwhse: What did you end up organising for Mal, if you don't mind telling the rest of us…

            • @bazza236: If the next shipment to the local store includes any netbooks with a 6 cell battery, they will swap mine over. So possibly a free battery upgrade or possibly nothing. I can't complain as it was a great deal regardless and Gary came through with the raincheck.

  • just got an email confirming my cashback is on its way!

    Thanks Maltopia!!!!!

  • just picked up my raincheck, thanks Gary for organising this, all good so far.

    • and the cashback arrived

  • Does anyone know of a way to tell if a particular em250 has a 3 or 6 cell battery from the outside of the box?

    • I wouldn't leave it too long to send in the rebate stuff. Got mine off today - express post - and almost missed out as it is due in on Monday!

    • Not really, as many have got 6 cell batteries, even though on the outside of the box it says a 3 cell. Go figure.

    • Possibly by weight of the box if you can tell the difference between say 2.6 kg and 2.7 kg or have portable digital scales you can take to the shop with you :P
