The coupon is from the Centrecom.com.au Facebook page.
If you missed any of the earlier Asus 32gb Transformer with Dock offers, here's another bite of the cherry.
While they still have stock, it should be good for a - PRICEMATCH - with Officeworks, etc, etc!
Good price, unfortunately already bought the Xoom like 2 days ago!
I think the keyboard makes this deal really worth it otherwise I think both tablets are pretty similar.
The link says $639 for me…… ?????
you tried the coupon?
ASUSFBSPEC
This is me slapping myself slap.
SLAP. I did the same thing. The stupid me.
Lol! This is me slapping you slap
wow such amazing prices with the holiday season to come
Very good, pretty cheap and not 32GB as 16GB+16GB as the other deal.
This one is real 32GB SSD version + Keyboard Dock.
And cheaper than:
- Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 16GB Tablet $399 at The Good Guys (two weeks ago)
- Asus EeePad Transformer 16GB + Keyboard Dock + 16GB Micro SDHC $468 Shipped at Shoppingsquare
What the….. Such a good deal…..
I want to sell my 2 month old Acer A500 and buy this one
Then you'll have to change your ozbargain user name too.
You can try and get officeworks to pricematch before they run out. They do pricematch online deals but they will add the shipping to it (I think it is $17 on this one)
This is a really good deal and I think it will get ozbargained!

Not sure if i should wait for the Prime or get this… decisions decisions
if price is your main concern, this one will still nail it. I rekon at least 300 bucks different.
Oh, this is not going to last long! :)
Shipping to WA is "from" $45 which is a joke!
Great price on the tablet though, thanks for sharing.
If you really want it I think Officeworks would be a good place to try and match it. You might get someone whou will accept to do that for you and forget about shipping.
I think this will become standard price once the new tablets are out.
K.
That is if they still have any stocks left by then. ie. the samsung galaxy tab for $299 from Telstra was like once off deal till stocks ran out.
yeah shipping it a bitch….it'd be cheap to organise a courier yourself.
I wonder who'll be the first to get Officeworks to beat it?
how to organise a courier?really want to know,in case i may need it in the future
you have to goto the checkout & add the coupon…tempting
Awesomest, Can't believe I bought this for $550 a month ago :-(. No wonder that the Transformer Prime is coming in like a week this one is just going to keep going down.
Or is it???? Cos at the time of the release Prime will be priced for around $800 (with the dock) if I'm not mistaken. What do you guys think?
not bad amonth ago 550 for 32g+dock is a bargain price. I bought my 16g+dock for around 540 2month ago
Yeah the prime will be at least 2x this.
For what I want, this one will do nicely.
Can always gift it to the missus next year and get a new Prime once they go sub 500.
Let me know when you do. Will probably be able to reduce shipping :)
500$ for prime,150$for dock,$50 for delivery.$700should b enough to get a set from Amazon online
At best. Otherwise should be 600-650 for the stuff itself, 150 more for the Dock (if you want Oz stock). And it is shipping exclusive.
Bagged one. Thanks for the heads up.
Does anyone know how long postage to Vic metro would take? Are these guys quick?
dunno, but since they're couriering it from vic metro you'd imagine within a day or two.
Of course it also depends on how you pay…Paypal is instant
My local OW is willing to price match but want to ring just to confirm they still have stock. They don't open till 10 so the guy from OW will call me back.
Might be risky. I just called the Elsternwick store, and they said it's definitely an online only special. The online store does not have a direct phone number, only email enquiries.
I got one too.wonder when will i get it in sydney.paid by bank deposit to save 2% surcharge.
same man But Im starting to regret now……..cuz i have no ideas how long is the delivery and I should go officeworks get an instant one:(
Got one, thanks.
Just note they charge 2% for credit cards / paypal.
$18 shipping to SA
$11.37 (Paypal fee + insurance)
$396.37 all up delivered to SA, thanks.
missed this deal at least the bar is set from now on
400 bucks inc delivery inc 16G + dock
anything less is not worth a blink
Thanks
It's actually the 32Gb model in this deal.
my bad i read the above comment incorrectly
Hestitated… now sold out
Bah, sure another deal will pop up before xmas
Likewise… gutted!
No, this is the last deal, no more deals for this will ever happen, period :P
(Cue the next deal for this for under $350 delviered and all of us that got this one go d'oh!)
(Cue the next deal for this for under $350 delviered and all of us that got this one go d'oh!)
haha so true
may happen tomorrow
where to put the coupon?
You can put it anywhere you like now, it's dead.
At checkout worked for me, but now the coupon is worthless. Deal over.
because I dare not hit the button confirm - with $639 price
Soldout !!!!
out of stock :(
Hmm… Got one but now the order status is 'on back order from suppliers'. Wonder how long that will take?
Yeah my order says "Awaiting Confirmation (PayPal)"
And the items say "1 on order"
Maybe this will be like the shoppingsquare SGS2 I bought that took over a month to be delivered - I hope not!!!!
OK, looks like paypal IS NOT instant, from their FAQ:
PayPal payments are updated once per working day, this is done manually each afternoon by our accounts department. Your order will be automatically put into "Awaiting Confirmation" once you have made payment via PayPal. No additional steps are required on the customer's end. Our accounts department will notify the registered email address once they have confirmed the payment and updated the order to "Processing".
Did you actually get redirected to payPal to actually pay for it?
It didn't for me & now I'm also Pending Paypal.
I hope it's not a "waiting stock" otherwise i might just cancel as another deal will come in.
Yep, got redirected to paypal, did the xaction there and have a receipt from paypal too.
Maybe that is why they do a manual check, maybe they don't auto detect that payment is completed when paypal is selected.
I emailed & got a response along with an email from Paypal prompting from payment.
So I guess it was just a hiccup. Bring on the toy!
I remember last year I waited in line for the Black Friday Thanksgiving sales at Best Buy in the U.S. to get this for $US399 without the dock and I missed out. The price went up to $US499 and the dock is additional $US150. I licked my wounds and settled for the Optus Mytab V9 tablet for $99 from Dick Smith when I came back and wait for the Aussie prices to come down. Now after waiting for a year I am able buy it both tablet and docking keyboard for less than $399 !! Now if only Hard Drive prices will also go down….
Bollocks - these weren't even released a year ago! Liar liar pants on fire…
I'm relatively new to both tablets & Android…
So, I want to know: Is this thing's 1 GB RAM enough?
With my netbook, I was quick to learn that upgrading it to 2 GB was a way to improve performance…
What about this puppy?
Is it easy for a User to upgrade its RAM (& what's the max)?
TIA
It's not a laptop. No matter how hardcore you are, you cannot upgrade the RAM.
It uses Android. With Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich) coming out, the performance might be improved.
Comparing to other Android tablets, advantages with the Asus Transformer + Keyboard are
1. Extremely long battery life, because keyboard has battery built in.
2. Keyboard has full size USB (Acer and Toshiba has it too)
3. Keyboard supports 32MB Micro SD, Tablet itself supports 32MB Micro SD, Tablet has built in 32MB, 96MB in total
4. Keyboard for easy typing, of course
Think you might mean GB not MB :P
ivi, u r not "relative new" to tablets,u simply know nothing about tablets,but it'stotally fine.while iconia replied very welk and straightforward, i stilk suggest u to do ur homework first.a "shortcut" is from whirlpool forum where mountains of useful informationavailable
Time for a new keyboard bro, spacebar only working half the time. A shortcut is the search box on the top right of ozbargain - look for the new logitechshop deal :)
i only need to switch back swiftx on my sgs2. but i did order and receive a k900 from logitechshop this monday :)
Does it has browser with Java & Flash capability?
I want to access skillport online training site on the train…??
ASUS site mentions Flash… I didn't notice Java.
Isn't there an Open Source version of Java?
Maybe it works under Android…?
Yes and yes
Miss it again. Grrr
I missed too.. :(
Had one saved in my cart so hopefully it goes through.
My order has been dispatched. I thought I may have missed out. I had one sitting in my cart from about 9:45 waiting for a reply from OW. Then saw sold out messages from about 10:15. Got the call from OW about 10:25 saying they won't price match. I tried to complete checkout but I got logged off. When I logged on again it was still in my cart and I was able to complete checkout. Lucky.
My god ozbargainers are quick. I missed this one also…Grr!
Where is the ozbargain spirit? Centrecom sold out before OW!!!???
What makes this worst, i was in the store at the time and heard staff talking about a Cheap Transformer and i paid no attention to asking how cheap :(
This world is so so so cruel mate…
This tablet has been such a tease, with it's apparent 16 hour battery life (when the dock's connected)! But I'm waiting out on the new transformer tablet coming soon I heard
I am going to cry. I so want to get a Android tablet and get rid of my iPad. I used a 10 inch Samsung the other day and the browser is so far ahead of the apple one.
Which iPad? Spare iconia in the family and that member wants an iPad. Maybe swap?
Miss Covert has her eye on my iPad 1 64GB 3G……
I WANT THIS !
We wait for another promotion by another seller for ASUS Transformer 101… :)
Paid $607 2 months ago for this 32GB + Dock, Was very tempted to buy another one!
good deal but ALL gone…oh well better luck next time!!
Anyone elses order still showing
"Awaiting Confirmation (PayPal)"?
Edit sent a query email, now it is "Processing" woohoo
Don't stress robinsoa. Go to the following account and click on "how is my paypal payment processed?"
http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/faqs.php
EDIT: Never mind :)
DAMN!!! i missed it again!!!!!!!
Arrrrrrrrrh! Missed Again!
This Tab with this price now feels like: 'Ok to look, but no touching'
Mine has been dispatched and shipped. Two thumbs up.
Mine too. The email states "sent via TNT".
Mine has just arrived. Is the dock and tablet included in the same box? I can't open it to check because it's a present for my partner.
That was fast. What state are you in ?
Yep, tablet and keyboard are in the box
Thanks. Victoria.
mine also dispached
Received delivery this morning. :)
Thumbs up to Centre Com!
Which payment method did you use? I went with the bank deposit as didn't want to provide all those details to verify my credit card…
I used credit card. Extra 12 months warranty.
Mine has arrived, intact.
Mine also arrived Friday afternoon. All happy except I find the adaptor/usb charging unit hot when charging the tablet. Is this normal ?
I don't think it should be too much of a concern. My charger for iphone runs pretty warm, even more so for laptop. Which state are you in btw?
Any in NSW received theirs yet using bank deposit?
Count me in. Sydney.
I am in Sydney and received mine on Friday. I do work at Homebush Bay and the courier depot is on Carter St., Homebush.
my order status is awaiting stock :(
Fantastic price. Get it quick if you're after a good tablet.
