Just came across this deal after seeing an ad on TV.
Specs are: LENOVO G570 i3-2310M 2.1GHz, 4GB, 640GB, 15.6" WXGA, 6370 1GB, WIN 7 HOME PREMIUM
It's $449 but you get $50 cash back so effective price is $399. Very good deal for 2nd gen. i3 plus 1GB dedicated graphics.
not really; Cashback Terms & Conditions: Products must be ordered and paid for within the offer period of 1st April 2011 until 30 September 2011.
The only real concern that I would have is the following:
Claims must be lodged via the website within 1 week from the sale date.
This could be a big problem depending on how has centercom take to ship these out after checkout.
I just came so close to ordering one for my mothers birthday present, but decided after reading the 1 week to claim the cashback, I wouldn't risk buying it online and expecting to get it in time to claim the cashback.
ATI 6370M? Pass. Though I suppose this is a decent deal. Not great, but decent.
What dedicated graphics spec should I look for in a laptop for $400 or less?
Would you prefer Intel HD 3000 instead then? On the otherhand 6370 ain't much better, but still 400bucks for a dedicated card aint't bad.
I suppose the real surprise here is: CentreCom advertise on the TV??
They've been doing it for a while now but it doesn't pop up often. I think I've only seen it once on TV.
what do they charge for shipping to metro areas?
edit: seems you have to go through the whole ordering process to find out :-(
18 bucks to Sydney.
16.5 to VIC, 18 to syd
1% insurance
2% extra with Credit card and paypal
yes, need to use a dummy account to find out
seems ok for a low end machine though, with dedicated video card
hey guys, is this notebook better than the buy1 take 1 from HN for hp dm1z at the moment (thinking of buying it with a friend if HN still has some)
Yes. Hands Down. Amd dual core is apiece of crap. Like comparing a huyndai excel to an Audi A4
Oranges IT have this at same price, and no limit of 1 per customer (15 available). Come on Centrecom…squeeze a bit more.

How is this one compared with Lenovo Edge E320?

I miss the Lenovo BULK5 deal last time.
This one is much better.
Read terms and conditions of payment to Orange - quite a pain. Does anybody know what they charge for delivery, and whether use of a credit card through Paypal is definitely considered by them to be Paypal payment? Only just signed up to Ppal. Excuse my ignorance if that's an obvious question.
cutting it fine on the cash back 30 september
