I was after an Asus n61jq-jx002v yesterday and got it for $1433 + a free XBOX 360 Arcade from Harvey Norman.
I thought I got a good deal.

Today I went to JB Hifi at Castle Hill and they had it marked $1,451 less 10% bringing it down to $1,305.90

  • That is a STEAL for a laptop with these specs:
  • CPU - Intel Core i7 720QM Processor (1.60GHz)
  • Chipset - Intel HM55
  • Display Panel - 16" LED Display
  • Standard Memory - 4GB DDR3 1066 (2G x 2)
  • Hard Drive - 640GB HDD 5400rpm
  • Optical - DVD-Super
  • NetworkingWireless - bgn
  • Graphics - ATI HD5730M 1GB
  • Bluetooth - Yes
  • Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
  • Battery - 6 cells battery
  • WARRANTY - 2 year warranty

Castle Hill had 2 left as of 2pm. Not sure if other JB HiFi stores have the same deal as their web site says it is $1693
http://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers/asus/16-inch-notebook-sku…

The same laptop is at DSE for $1444
http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4c145d93029f274…

If you can get Harvey Norman to match JB Castle Hill you will get an XBOX 360 Arcade thrown in….

Good luck.

    I have this very laptop. It has a bluray drive as well … bought it in the DSE raster sale. Awesome laptop. Battery life isn't great but its hella fast. Glossy screen that's a little reflective but besides that… awesome device.

    • Alzori on 13/06/2010 - 14:57

      What's this like for graphics performance? Looking at a laptop more for a portable gaming machine… so yeah.

      • ragflan on 13/06/2010 - 22:45

        Its really good. Played Splinter Cell Conviction on highest settings and was not a problem at all.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 13/06/2010 - 15:00

    5730M is pretty good for gaming

    It is near the top of class 2 rated cards

    See http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-HD-5730.238…

    If you want something with a higher res, bigger screen and better video, try http://www.logicalblueone.com.au/store/292-asus-g73jh-rbbx05…

    • manbearpig on 13/06/2010 - 16:26
      -2

      Or this for $1200. I have this one and the GTX 260M is no slouch when it comes to gaming.

      http://www.logicalblueone.com.au/store/227-g51vx-rx05-.html

      Just get the 320gb HDD since you can get a 640gb HDD on ebay for $100. It has 2 HDD bays so you can use both. 3 yr warranty is good too. CPU is maybe not the best but it's more than enough for most games which don't heavily depend on the CPU and you can always upgrade it if you need to. i7 is good but you won't notice that much of a difference anyway in most cases. An SSD upgrade is more worthwhile.

        MASSIVE drop in CPU performance with that suggestion.

        • manbearpig on 13/06/2010 - 23:10

          For gaming? Hardly massive. The GTX 260M > HD 5730 which is more important for gaming. If you read who my comment was directed at you'd know it was for someone wanting a portable gaming machine.

      • Trance N Dance on 13/06/2010 - 17:15

        Better to spend the extra $100 and get a i7 (which is a much better option than the one in that)

        • manbearpig on 13/06/2010 - 23:04

          Alzori wants a PORTABLE GAMING machine. My suggestion is perfectly valid. It's better for gaming as the GTX 260M is much better than the 5730M. The i7 won't make up for the weaker card. C2D + GTX 260M will perform better in games than the i7 and 5730M. That Core 2 Duo is more than enough for most games. I have it. I know.

          My suggestion wasn't directed at anyone looking at the deal. It was only directed at Alzori since he asked for a gaming machine…

          If gaming is not your priority then yes, spend the extra for the i7.

  • tonyjzx on 13/06/2010 - 15:19

    JB have 10% off on all laptops so it's a great time to buy

  • Balls on 13/06/2010 - 15:23

    wow great deal awesome graphics

  • YesPleaseThankYou on 13/06/2010 - 15:26

    Just remember that Harvey Norman can be incredibly difficult to deal with in the event of a warranty issue.

    I wouldn't recommend Harvey Norman to anyone for this reason alone.

    If you have a choice, purchase from elsewhere.

  • tonyjzx on 13/06/2010 - 15:48

    why would you deal with HN

    deal with Asus… they are generally fine

    • chansthename on 13/06/2010 - 20:59

      yep asus aren't bad for warranty however it may take a while (they took weeks for mine to be done)

  • A Banana4scale on 13/06/2010 - 16:14

    dude thats a great steal - I have the i5-520M one with other specs same and got that at this price. BTW where can you get 9 cell battery for the n61 series?

  • hongxinl on 13/06/2010 - 18:55

    you are lucky, i cannot find it at the same price in vic
    if i can find it in mel at the same price as yours, i would buy it right after that…
    good price, really

  • Trance N Dance on 13/06/2010 - 19:37

    When does the free xbox promo run til?

    • GreatWhiteHunter on 14/06/2010 - 08:05

      XBOX 360 Arcade promo ends today (Monday 14 June)

    I got mine last Thursday for $1320 on 6 months deferred payment with free Xbox. That $1306 from JB is a great price to match if you can with a free Xbox

  • vmathews2204 on 16/06/2010 - 15:45

    I bought this laptop (n61jq-jx002v)from Good Guys on VIP Sale yesterday for $ 1260! Beleive it is around the lowest you would get for this model for now.

    • ragflan on 16/06/2010 - 17:31

      Agreed. This laptop is being sold for almost 1700 in most places. Infact, right before this deal was published, I saw it last week in JbHiFi for 1600+

      • p0c1 on 17/06/2010 - 12:37

        Wow…!!

        That's really cheap …

        I got mine $1464,- with extra Laser Mouse + Laptop Bag..

        =…(

        I was thinking going to get the N61JQ-0021X before..

        but the price difference for the extra BluRay Drive is around $300,- (not worth it)

        Probably going to get external BluRay Burner later..(2-3 years..)

    • fellator on 22/06/2010 - 20:19

      possible to get a receipt?

      • vmathews2204 on 07/07/2010 - 09:23

        see the post below this. have uploaded receipt.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 16/06/2010 - 15:59

    Those XBOX Arcades aren't worth what they were a week ago given you can get an Elite for $249 now….

  • anarky on 28/06/2010 - 18:48

    Can I get a receipt please? Going to buy one…
