  • I am also seaching for this , If they can provide Tax invoice with ABN number we can claim $70 from powerbuy , I check their ebay store , they are providing tax invoice but not sure about the ABN , Also I am leaving overseas so I can claim GST as well ,

    • +1

      What else you plan to buy to make your invoice over $300?

      • Thanks for the Advice , I will try somethink from their store

    • +2

      A tax invoice will have an ABN by definition.

      • +1

        Yes, accoording to the eyes of ATO, a proper tax invoice needs to have an ABN printed.

  • Is this ebay product eligible for powerbuy cashback?

  • i already bought one, i think its still a good price even without the cashback consider its a 3g + wifi model

    • Did they provide TAX invoice

      • the deal hasn't activated yet so once its activated they will send me email regarding to payment and then i will see what happen

  • I don't think we can claim cashback, the cash back clearly suggests that,

    " providing you buy new and from an Australian store."

    So, Ebay is not included.

    • I receive this answer from powerbuy
      Yes you are still eligible, please double check the tax invoice that the seller will provide you with has an ABN on it. Without an ABN on the tax invoice you won't be able receive the cash-back.

    • the seller is in Australia though

  • Yes, I've chatted with them as well.

    ABN is essential, but I remember last time, my receipt from Ebay is very very simple. Can anyone advice your receipt for that?

    • I have sent message to the ebay seller regarding to the ABN, I will report back once seller reply

      • Since seller is Australian, isnt he supposed to give tax invoice with ABN.

        • Sometimes, they can simply post it from overseas, with invoice from that country.

  • No details on shipping fees, does it mean free shipping? I think Acer iconia a501 is also $299 with $100 e voucher, which one is a better deal?

    • Postage and Payment Options

      • PayPal, Bank Deposit

      • Free postage Australia wide

    • it said free shipping Aussie wide , Acer a500 is selling for 248 in EB games, but I prefer the thinkpad tablet because I like the pen and i can do drawing on it :D

    • Acer iconia a501 is also $299 - where is this deal ?

  • if there is not ABN on the tax invoice, then this tax invoice is invalid.

  • I guess this is kinda like the poor man's note 10.1 right?? How well does this compare other than no quad core?

    • I had one, it works pretty good, very smooth under Android 4.03.

      The only problem is the power button, it is poorly designed and quite loose. It is the most serious quality risk for that tablet, which I believe is the reason for the crazy price.

  • The main selling point for this tablet at this price is 3G. It is sufficient enough to run normal web browsing and perform non graphic intensive tasks like 3D gaming and watching 1080p videos.

    • +1

      ".. and perform non graphic intensive tasks like 3D gaming .." ???

    • 1080p struggles to play on Tegra2… Let alone 3d games lol. I get the occasional frame skip on large MKV files and the audio desyncs.

    • oops, forgot to put ()

  • Can we put custom ROM on this?

    • +1

      Very hard to root it.

      • +6

        Well at least buy it dinner first.

      • +1

        If the firmware is ROW version you can root it, there is a new way to root this lenovo. I just did it few days ago. just head to xda forum. I'll write a "how to root" step by step tutorial over there.

  • New question: Is there a GPS in this wifi+3G model??? That's quite important for me. The datasheet said , assisted GPS in it.
    But this description is not clear enough.

    • Hi, assisted GPS is GPS using data network to get a GPS lock, so that will take around 10 seconds if you got a 3g connection. The normal GPS is still there, just with a faster locking feature if you have 3g.

      • Thanks, so glad the gps chip is including

    • In my Wifi one, GPS works perfectly!

      • I used to have a nokia that takes 1 hour to get a GPS lock if I don't use 3g to download GPS data…. LOL, but I guess newer phones and tablets are not too bad, probably few minutes if didn't use it for long.

    • I have one of these and it definitely has GPS. I have downloaded Navionics marine charting and it works well. It also has a compass.

      I also have a Wifi only one. There are a few reports about GPS not working or poor performance in the WiFi version. I had to send mine back for warranty fix for GPS and it also is now fine.

      They both came with digitiser pens. Mine were direct purchases from Lenovo a couple of months ago.

  • deal is on, so great that the Digitizer Pen is included

  • AFAIK the powerbuy cashback expired end of August.

    • No not yet!

      Site says: Limited quantity available. Expires 30/09/2012

    cool bananas. the lenovo shop has a special on the dock (recommended) and BT keyboard at the moment.

    If you look up past sales its been selling for $299 since early aug.

  • +1

    So, it looks like it is $230 after $70 cashback from Powerbuy.

    Hi,

    Thank you for the message. Yes, our ABN is on our tax invoice.

    • I received similar message, no problems with tax invoice.

      Can anyone ensure that Power Buy will honor it?

    • So… is the tax invoice is electronic or in paper form?

      • no ideas.

      • It should be in paper form. Seller is located at NSW. He may send you electrnic version if you want.

  • Still hesitate because I've already had a WiFi one. But 3G tablet only 230 is tempting.

  • Well, I just bought one. Can anyone recommend on where to buy a case for this? eBay is turning up a few for $17, but i'd prefer to buy from somewhere that offers tracking via EMS.

    • I bought one too…. If you have friends in Hongkong, case is not a problem.

      • the native case is linked here for about 40 bucks and the KB with case $60 (free shipping)

        I bought mine during the 2:1 deal and picked up some cheap samsung 10.1 screencovers from JB in their clearance bin (2 for $5.) easily modified to fit the lenovo (out of all the standard screencovers) as not many shops here in country Vic seem to stock lenovo specific.

        hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to play DivX,avi,mp4 files on this Tablet.

    • Thanks..

  • Just got one. Lets hope I can get the cashback

    • Any update on cash back

  • Is there any possible that I bought one more thing from the store and the total payment is more than $300.
    And I can get cashback , and then get tax refund in airport when I leave AU.????

    • You could add postage with tracking for extra $8.

      • Where's the option to add postage with tracking? I'm in the same boat!

        • +1

          I ordered mine last night with just the simple procedure through the group buy screens with no options but paying and the mail I received at 9:15 this morning was:


          Seller: futu_online ( 51751 )

          Item title
          Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 10" 16GB 3G Wifi Android Webcam Mini HDMI + Digitizer Pen ( 230847385872 )

          Price AU $299.00

          Postage price Free

          Paid on 13-Sep-12

          Posted on 14-Sep-12
          AusPost Parcel with tracking and signature
          Estimated delivery: September 18 - September 25, 2012


          So as you can see the price includes tracked and registered postage - you do not need to add anything for this purchase (even if you want to :)

        • Too bad you are $1 short from claiming gst back if going overseas in a month.

  • Hey can someone please point out to me where it says have to spend more than $300 to get the deal?
    Thanks!

    • What I mentioned is tax refund when you leave australia, every invoice with ABN large than $300 can get nearly 10% tax refund.
      I will depart australia soon, so I might can get twice refund…….

  • Does anyone know if I am individual not a business, am I still eligible for the cash back from Powerbuy?

    when I register for powerbuy, it ask if this is for business or home use and I tick home use

    thanks

    • yes - I got a similar deal about two weeks ago from Centrecom and got my $70 with home use ticked

  • Mine is shipped. That was quick

  • yahoo….just brought mine, very good deal….

  • Just bought one. How to claim 70? The powerbuy website mention $50 and today is the last day!!

    • +1

      You get an extra $20 refund if you pre-register for the cashback (there's a button).

      • Thanks.
        My one shipped..

    • Can't believe they just changed the end date to the cashback to today "due to overwhelming demand". Surely they can't do that?

      Anyway, just ordered one but hopefully the receipt will have today's date on it or else I might miss out on the cashback!!!

  • Damn you OzBargain! I certainly didn't need this, as I already have a HP Touchpad, Samsung Galaxy Tab and a new iPad, but still ended up ordering it! Well, it's already shipped too, so the kids will be happy, wife won't. Now I am just hoping that we really do manage to get the cashback, otherwise the deal is not that good.

  • +1

    Mine shipped too….

    • mate, how do you know it's already shipped? you get notifications?

      • You get an ebay notification when the seller marks it as shipped.

  • Yes, got notification from ebay this morning

  • Received mine this morning.

    • Can you claim your money back from Powerbuy?

    • +1

      What does the invoice looks like?

      • +1

        Invoice has company name, address and ABN.

    • have u claimed yr cash back from powerbuy ?

      • i already reserved yesterday so will upload receipt tonight.

        • Did you get your cash back ????

  • hmmm… does anyone know the item number for this deal on ebay? (http://groupbuy.ebay.com.au/?clk_rvr_id=386393754294)

    i earn velocity points for buying from ebay but only if i can get the item number will i buy it :)

    thanks!

    • Item number is 230847385872

  • i can buy from anyone as long as they have an ABN and still be able to claim cashback with powerbuy right?

    Thanks

    • we all are confuse i guess, no one has claimed yet so got no idea !!!!!

  • I will wait until I can confirm that cash back works. No need to risk for that tablet.

    • +1

      But Powerbuy just changed the cashback end date to today! So AFAIK if you don't buy it now you cannot claim anything…

      • -1

        They say you can reserve/claim this offer and then have 30 days time to provide the receipt. But the date on the receipt needs to be today (or earlier).

        • Where does it say that the invoice needs to be dated today?

        • +1

          "If you reserve/claim this offer before it expires you have 30 days to upload your valid receipt (from the date of your claim). " That's what it says. But now that I read it again, it does mean that the 30 days starts to count from the date of the claim. Not as I first understood it, that the receipt should be from the date of the claim. Oh well.

        • +2

          I 've talked to them, no need for that! You can buy it later, but you cannot reserve cash back claim tomorrow.

  • +1

    Can anyone try the cash back as quickly as possible and advice us?

  • Hope this works, just pulled the trigger.

  • Just got email from the seller that an invoice with the ABN will be included in the order. So the cash back will be no problem.

  • -1

    Hmm just bought a nexus 7

  • Just ordered. Procrastinated for most of the afternoon. Really a bloody good cheap 3g Tablet. Now hopefully get invoice dated today before end of the night.

  • i bought aldi tab and refunded now for this deal:)
    Hope get the cash back..
