Just received an email from PayPal advertising Harvey Norman will be having a 15% off Microsoft Surface sale until end of June.
"Starting tomorrow Microsoft Surface will be 15% off at Harvey Norman. That’s 15% off the normal ticketed price of Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, Surface 3 and all Surface Accessories! Offer valid 16th – 30th June 2016."
Clipping of the email: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/61870/40202/harvey_nor…
Just tried to sign up, looks like the maximum number of people enrolled already. Thanks though.
they seem to have removed the surface keyboard from the website so can't get 15% off it…or am I looking at wrong?
even though "accessories" are supposed to have 15% off
I searched this morning and keyboards for surface are there but looks like it was somehow magically taken off…

Looks like they have all of the normal ones under the same page
Bit off topic, but is that your Evo?
Was before I sold it :)
No!!! What are you driving now?
Bought a Benz C250 CDI (just before it won COTY! Good pick eh) and then sold it when I moved to Singapore where I can't afford a car so I take a bus or train everywhere :) … Or a taxi since they're cheap anyway.
@jace88: Yeah I heard the about the hefty costs associated with owning a car in Singapore. It was from a mighty car mods video actually, lol.
Seems like harvey norman doesn't have the surface 3 4gb non cellular in stock anymore. Is this a sign that maybe the surface 4 isn't too far away?
Incoming SP5 announcements soon I guess!
Not necessarily… I suspect it's EoFY sales
I'd be happy with either tbh.
Pretty good price on a Surface Pro 4 i5 128Gb. Due to Harvey Norman having their one day only sale and taking 15% off Surface models to coincide with Microsoft's own sale,
Can get Officeworks to price beat for $1121.95 so effectively 20% off.

JB are still selling this for $1272 which is dearer than Microsoft themselves oddly so can put the saving towards a type cover as it already comes with a pen.

I ordered over the phone as there's no stock in any of my local stores.
Stack it with multiple Amex $50 for $350 spend makes it even cheaper again.
How do you stack multiple?
Split payments. Perhaps multiple cards.
I have two separate Amex cards… not supplementaries for the same account. I'm sure some other Ozbarganites have more than two Amex accounts. :P
Can you do price matching over the phone?
That's what I did as no local store had stock so I called OW customer service and said I wanted to order over the phone and price match. Ordered and paid $1121.95 with no issues.
Nice!
Not that great considering you can get 15% on MS Store if you are a student.
Key word is "if".
Ugh, got one just a week ago. Didn't think they would better the 10% off.
I like the unit but there are some hard to ignore gripes. Battery life is not good. Seems to auto dim at 75%, and possibly again at 50%.
Accessories overpriced. The Dock (http://www.harveynorman.com.au/microsoft-surface-pro-4-docki…) costs $255 and is not discounted by the 15% off accessories. It's the only way you're getting more than 1 USB port. Keyboard cover normally costs $200. Other covers are also very expensive.
The screen is a dust magnet. Very difficult to put a screen protector on before dust gets underneath it.
Hm I thought it's meant to be on sale. How odd. I personally have the dock and I enjoy the single cable approach but it's nothing which can't be achieved with other third party USB hubs/port replicators/etc - only thing you miss out on is the power cable.
If you really want the dock, maybe look online as sometimes they go on sale overseas too.
I personally have a glass screen protector and STM Dux case on mine which helps keep it clean but also makes it a bit thicker… so am thinking of taking the case off again since mine has dbrand vinyls on it anyway (yes I do watch the Linus videos!).
A hub will use your USB port. The Dock uses the charging port.
The dock is really good, but I just wish it didn't cost so much, because they're clearly making a killing on accessories as all manufacturers of mobile device accessories do.
True, but a hub will usually offer more USB ports for you to use (thus negating the loss a bit). There are quite a few inexpensive Surface Pro docking station alternatives available out there (some offering Displaylink, LAN, audio, etc)… but if all you care about is USB ports, maybe all you need is a powered USB hub.
The official docking station is obviously the nicest all in one cable solution (and the dock itself is quite nice and weighty) but at $200+, it's not for everyone.
I thought i'd jump on the dock if it was 15% off, but was disappointed to see that it wasn't. Even at 15% off the price is ridiculous, but I thought I might be able to justify it. Boo!
I'm hoping China makes a knock off version for a fraction of the price.
Plus Amex offer, https://offerenroll.americanexpress.com/enroll/EnrollmentSit…, probably a good deal those who are holding off.
