      1 yr warranty for $50 extra, I supposed it's a fair deal, given that the price of Surface Pro 4 / book still expensive IMO - of course, subject to the condition of the actual condition as an refurbished item.

          Use ACL if they refuse to do warranty repair/replace/refund.

          I'd be very surprised if the idea that a ~$600 - ~$1700 tablet should last more than a year is considered unreasonable by ACL agents.

          @MrMaxwell:

          Sorry to hear you had to go to Fair Trading. Did you try their physical store in Sydney?

          Getting my warranty sorted out (I'd purchased a returned product, got a 2 year warranty in the end) was painless. So was getting a replacement Kinect for my Xbox One.

          I think they are aspiring to Apple levels of aftersales support…

        • skegger on 28/07/2016 - 18:02

          @MrMaxwell: That cannot be true. Australian warranties are two years. My Surface Pro 2 screen slightly detached just under two years old. Microsoft not only replaced it with no questions asked, they replaced it with a brand new Surface Pro 3.

          Ring Surface support, they are absolutely fantastic. If it is less than two years old you will have a brand new computer in days.

        • MrMaxwell on 31/07/2016 - 11:08

          @dave999:

          The MS Sydney Store offered me a refurb SP3 for $800 as warranty replacement - the smart arse then had the nerve to say 'take it or leave it'.

          Not my kind of 'Apple' support.

        • dave999 on 31/07/2016 - 11:41

          @MrMaxwell: I would strongly suggest you ring surface support. The warranty on a surface sold in Australia is 2 years. My dealings with surface support has been absolutely amazing.

          I had a surface pro 2 which had crash from resume issues from the day I bought it. When I rang them they said I could wait for updated driver or immediately replace it. I chose to wait, they said they would ring me back on a specific date and time in one month, they rang me within a minute of the time they said they would. The driver update didn't solve the issue and they replaced the SP2 by mail. I had a new one 3 days later.

          After 23 months the SP2 screen was raised about half a millimetre near the windows button. As I was thinking of selling it to buy a SP3 I rang and asked them to fix it under warranty. They asked for a photo, as soon as they saw the photo they agreed to replace it under warranty. A couple of days later I received and brand new SP3 with keyboard and pen.

          As far as I'm concerned there service is excellent. Do yourself a favour and actually ring surface support.

        • MrMaxwell on 31/07/2016 - 15:42

          @dave999:

          OK will do.

        • MrMaxwell on 02/08/2016 - 16:33

          @dave999:

          What number did you call MS on? I can only get through to Asian call centres who are hopeless.

        • dave999 on 03/08/2016 - 12:12

          @MrMaxwell: That is a very good question. The website had changed since I contacted them in February. I'd suggest you go to https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-au/support/contact-us and enter your details of your problem, and then on the bottom right you can request a call back. I'm not sure if that is what you have already done or you end up speaking to someone different.

        • McFly on 03/08/2016 - 12:37

          My dealings with surface support has been absolutely amazing.

          Me too.
          Had a brand new SP3 last year, went into the BIOS for the first time and it had a password on it!
          There was a bit of phoning/e-mailing backwards and forwards (if I was on the other end of the phone I don't think I'd believe it either!) but a few days later I got a replacement and a week(?) to send back the old unit in the supplied package.

      • NickFritz on 28/07/2016 - 16:39

        Ignore the 1 year warranty and demand they honour more than a year.

      • rk1314 on 28/07/2016 - 17:49

        for those who's SP3's have died, it might be due to the issue with their inbuilt SIMPLO batteries. MS have apparently isolated the issue (software) and is working on how to distribute the fix. If you're SP3's still work when plugged in, i'd say wait for the fix.

      • Cap N on 28/07/2016 - 17:57

        If you registered your product you should have a 2 year warranty.

        I bought a Surface Pro 3 that was a returned product at JB Hi-Fi. I scanned the receipt and emailed it and Microsoft gave me 2 years from the date of purchase.

      • hypie on 28/07/2016 - 19:59

        My surface pro 2 had a 2 year warranty standard from Microsoft online.

      • ebosh on 28/07/2016 - 22:42

        They have a 2 year warranty according to the MS website. My SP1 was replaced twice, then I was given a SP3 when the third SP1 started failing with 3 weeks to go from the date I bought the first SP1. Aside from the fact that the SP1's kept failing, I loved them when they worked and the after sales service from MS has made me an evangelist for them. I bought the first SP1 from Harvey Norman and didn't step foot in the store again; all warranty was handled by MS and handled really well

        • hypie on 29/07/2016 - 01:01

          Agreed, microsoft after sales service is fantastic. Better than Apple given that you don't have to actually go into a store to get the same quality support.

    • bluesix on 29/07/2016 - 08:34

      Depending on the age of the device, you may be able to claim under the statutory warranty law which is essentially "a product should last as long as you would expect it to".

      • ryang on 29/07/2016 - 09:15
        +2

        It's a bit more than that.. It's more about value vs worth - if you pay a lot more for a device that could be had cheaper (eg. Brand name tv vs no name) there's an assumptionof quality.

    • FalconKick on 29/07/2016 - 17:33

        These units have not been faulty and then repaired. These units are ex-lease machines which have been changed over as the lease period has been expired. They are fully funcitonal and have come out a a working environment. We test them to makes sure there is no hardware issues and to make sure they are in very good cosmetic condition.

          Technically this IS refurbished, as per an electronics definition, but personally I find it iffy =P (still correct, so no neg).

          For transparency I would label these as "ex-lease".

          @tanksinatra: True. Refurbished most of the times is used for new faulty items repaired and then sold with 1 year warranty and are not used more than few times.
          These are Ex-lease or recycled and used by users for lease period which normally is 2 to 3 years. OP will be able to clarify how much lease was there on these pros.

          So Dell Outlet should sell all of their products as new?

          The website states:

          These item are in near new condition, in fact we would of listed them as new but they have been taken out of the original packaging. Condition will not dissapoint.

          This makes it sounds like the are open-box models that are basically unused; however, you are saying here that they are ex-lease machines!?

          Sounds a bit misleading

          @rebootit: Deceptive sales I would say.
          You an sell an item as:
          - New: Brand new item
          - Refurbished: New, DOA or returned in a week to Manf and then repaired by them. Comes in box sealed: Refurbished.
          - Display stock or Demo or ExLease.
          - Used/Recycled-> anything used for a month or so. everything else.

          There is no definition in place, but it is understood. I laugh at an item called refurbished when all you have done is clean it outside and inside or changed an item if faulty.

          Why don't you call them Exlease when there is a term for that.

    We test the units for functionality and grade on condition. If there is anything wrong with the unit we either replace the part if something simple eg. RAM or HDD and if something major we break them down and they are sold for parts.

    They are classified as refurbished as they have come from a lease agreement with a finance company and were fully functional in a work environment. We test, clean and re-image.

    Yes, the stylus pen and keyboard are included.

      I feel like they aren't familiar with the dismantling process of a Surface Pro 3 … RAM is soldered on the begin with, and even just removing the screen is a dangerous process.

        The comments we made about refurbishing are general comments on how we deal with all the equipment. If units come in where the RAM is soldered, there is nothing we can do in that case - so if faulty, it gets sold as parts.

        Yeap but we will need to see first. cant really solve battery issue with firmware upgrade if the battery itself is the problem.

        • ryang on 28/07/2016 - 19:05

          I'd suggest the real issue is simply the reported maximum charge level. The controller won't overcharge the battery if it's capacity is low, so it would never charge properly.

          That should be able to be controlled by a firmware update… Hopefully.

      If it's got a faulty battery, you return it under warranty. The fix will be out by the time the warranty runs out. It's not an issue.

    Ordered - thanks for the share.

    Will report back on the quality of the 'refurbishment' when I get it

    • trevbreak on 03/08/2016 - 18:43

      Received it today - looks like brand new. Thanks!

    I don't understand how this can be sold as refurbished? Nothing is refurbished about them, simply second hand units.

    • KOBH on 28/07/2016 - 19:12

      That's right, only second hand products come with a 3 months warranty.

    90 day warranty

    No thanks!! Will consider if it comes with 12 MONTHS WARRANTY.

      Agreed, that's the deal breaker for me…adding $50 for a warranty is just price-gouging IMHO…

  • aquanix on 28/07/2016 - 19:44

    For the $50 upgrade to 12months warranty, the warranty is covered by rebootit or microsoft?

      I'm pretty sure its by rebootit.

  • lostn on 28/07/2016 - 19:45

    Windows 8.1…

    You've got one day to upgrade before you're stuck with it. But by the time it arrives, it might be too late.

    Deal breaker imo.

    Just got my Surface Pro 2 replaced by Microsoft after 2 years for "electric shocking" me. Hopefully I can get some coin selling that bad boy and switch over to the Pro 3 :). Awesome timing!

    I wish it had windows 10 though :(

    I'm assuming this will have a GST amount included so I can claim back tax on the way out?
