    As the actual price isn't mentioned on Big W's Black Friday Sale Page - I'm wondering if it 25% off RRP or current price…

    • mathew42 on 24/11/2020 - 12:16

      I don't think I'll be cancelling my Amazon order at this stage.

        just wait till tomorrow, snack a cheaper one then cancel :)

      • pramki on 24/11/2020 - 12:21

        If I get at Big w tomorrow I will cancel the Amazon

          sure thing :), gear up your discounted Woolies egift cards too, even not for spending at BigW tomorrow you still can use them later

          • motui302 on 24/11/2020 - 15:48

            @webtherapist: Hey guys, I would really appreciate some help here. My Amazon order has been marked as "shipped", 2 hours after I paid (incredibly quick).
            Does it mean I cannot cancel the order any more?
            If I opt to return, anyone knows how much it would cost?
            With thanks,

              @motui302: That's right, you cannot cancel your order now.

              However, Amazon are pretty good at taking stuff back even for "change of mind", so you could wait until it arrives and return it. You'll be out of pocket for a week or two though.

              • motui302 on 24/11/2020 - 15:57

                @pjetson: Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated!
                I just found out that Amazon charge $7 flat for return.
                If I can get my hand on the Big W sale tomorrow, I'll go ahead with the return then.
                Again, thanks for the help. I hope you've been scoring many good deals for yourself this Black Friday season.
                With thanks,

            • bobvegas on 24/11/2020 - 15:57

              @motui302: $7 I think for return of that size item. just don't open it, they got a restocking fee too if they can't sell it as new. You don't pay for postage, they send you a label, and when they examine it you get your money back minus $7. but maybe they pay for return also.

              • tbgoose on 24/11/2020 - 20:36

                @bobvegas: They have free return shipping if you're inside their parcel connect network. If not then you may have to pay for shipping, provide proof and get the shopping fee reimbursed. Perhaps this hinges on prime status to some extent also?

          • Associatedparta @ BIG W on 24/11/2020 - 15:56

            @webtherapist: Gift cards don't work online at the moment. :(

    • opt on 24/11/2020 - 22:39

      This is already 25% off RRP ($499). Many of the items listed on the black Friday sale page (e.g: Samsung A31, Fitbit versa 2, Lenovo M7 etc.) are already reduced to the listed sale price. Therefore I'm pretty sure $373 is the 25% off price.

      • IridiumFlare on 25/11/2020 - 08:04

        Yep has just been updated on the website. $373 (save $126).

      • ra1k0 on 25/11/2020 - 09:02

        Confirmed, this is the 25% off as mentioned above, the sale has now started and price has not changed.

  • ra1k0 on 24/11/2020 - 12:22

    Wouldn't the 25% off current price bring this to $279.75?

    • ModeratorRichardL on 24/11/2020 - 12:25

      Updated.

    • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 12:27

      sorry, my bad lol, was applying 20% instead of 25% hence the difference

  • Optimist Prime on 24/11/2020 - 12:22

    I was eyeing this duet off, as it seemed good value and good specs, but my old man just needs a tablet that does youtube and facebook calls. Would anyone suggest one of the Lenovo tablets over this at all?

    I've zero experience with Lenovo stuff, so apologies for the dumb Q.

    • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 12:25
      +1

      grab an iPad 8th gen for $499 if you cannot find any discounted deal, safest option for your old man :). if you have school/student kids, take them with you to Apple store for education price or education store (online) for further discount

      • Optimist Prime on 24/11/2020 - 12:26

        Is this based of the high likelihood of my old man being a complete techtard and the lenovo just being less user friendly than the iPad?

        I've been keeping an eye out for iPad deals for a couple months and no bites yet.

        • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 12:45
          +1

          iPad is definitely more user-friendly than Lenovo if your old man is not so tech savvy, alternatively this Lenovo is not that bad at all, totally up to you but I would go iPad if not mainly for productivity

  • distoria85 on 24/11/2020 - 12:25

    My nephew is starting to get into basic video editing for clips on youtube. Would this be a good device for simple edits or would a tablet be more powerful? (hes currently using iphone 5, but a bigger screen would be heaps better i'm sure).

    • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 12:26
      -2

      video editing, it is better to go with iPad Air, Pro or latest M1 chip Macbook if can afford

    • cheapjack on 24/11/2020 - 13:21
      +4

      For $279 this is an unbeatable device!

    • spb on 24/11/2020 - 15:13

      I would say from the age of the chipset on the iPhone 5 this Chromebook would probably be an improvement, but I think you should look at some reviews to see if anyone has even tried to video edit on this Chromebook.

      I would be a bit iffy on the support and performance unless someone has tested it for that particular use case.

    • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2020 - 17:44

      I'd be looking on Whirlpool and building a desktop computer instead. For years there has been a page over there showing the latest system builds, parts stores, and prices. Pick the best one you can afford, anything from a budget build up to a powerful gaming/graphic design desktop. You'll get a far more powerful desktop for less money than any laptop or tablet. And with video editing be sure to try out different software. Years ago I was doing some very simple video editing. I tried some professional programs that took several HOURS to do simple cut and join, then other dirt-cheap or free software did the same thing in just a few minutes. I'd like to think things are better now, but who knows.

      don't worry about it, snack one from BigW tomorrow, then cancel the order from OW (even if they dispatch, just bring it to local store for refund, no biggie)

      • HotPie on 24/11/2020 - 12:54

        Will do. Cheers

      • santomaharaj on 24/11/2020 - 12:55

          yes, they do.

        • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 14:44

          as long as item still in sealed box, all you gotta say was getting a wrong product (like did not realise you cannot download apps etc, or simply play dumb like it does not support iTunes lol)

      • SelfMade on 24/11/2020 - 16:24

        Do you mean snag instead of snack?

        • Cheapskatefish on 24/11/2020 - 17:26

          no, snack. I'm planning to eat my tablet, aren't you?

  • bargaino on 24/11/2020 - 12:31

    So many Duet deals!

    I just want to say, my Chromebook is six years old now, still getting updates and working well for basic tasks.
    Which is the same as a 6yo ipad (Air 2) , definitely not something you'd say about an Android device, or a 6yo budget Windows laptop.
    So this is a worthy competitor to an iPad. Especially if you don't want to be locked to one hardware vendor.

    (of course iPad has faster SoC, but $880 with 128GB and keyboard.)

      I believe it is 128GB as BigW listing price has been the same as other retialers with 128GB storage. Anyway, go in store or ring them to check :)

  • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 12:48

    anyway, can anyone tell me why BigW does not offer Woolies egift card as a payment option online???

    • bajirao on 24/11/2020 - 13:19

      I had the same question. Recently placed an order online only to find out they don't accept eGCs online. There goes another 4% discount

      • webtherapist on 24/11/2020 - 14:44

        not quite, in store still accept egift cards

        • bajirao on 24/11/2020 - 15:32

    Also worth mentioning that if 25% discount applied to all Chromebooks, then the Lenovo c340 11 will hit its history low price of $245.25 too, which is absolutely a steal.

        Not native. ChromeOS is more of a traditional Linux box, and emulates Android for the apps.
        Like IOS apps on Mac, except this has a touchscreen. (why not, Apple?)

      25% of 499 is 374.25. I see that harvey norman have got it for 373 also so its possible they dropped it as a price match.

    If only Chromebook tablets were as tablet friendly as the iPad. I have a HP X2 and while it is a great device, the tablet mode is undercooked. Most apps are poor cousins to the iPad.

    But for $280, this is a HUGE bargain.

      • ozhunter68 on 24/11/2020 - 14:32

        Wouldn't many stores be sold out by 8AM tomorrow if the price gets reduced earlier in night/morning

        and/if there is an online sales grab of the few in stock?

        Edit: If Sale Starting Price hours as stated below at 8AM is correct, then that answers it haha.
