Killer deal spotted by user scoyzt. The downside of this laptop is high delay ms screen and brightness is not good enough (Jarrod said Aus market get worse panel than the US market). This laptop has Advanced Optimus + Mux. I would said this is the best 4060 laptop deal i have ever seen.

Note: Stock at supplier with no estimate time of dispatch from Scorptec. From Scorptec: Items marked as At Supplier mean we do not currently have stock immediately available, but we should be able to get stock within 2-5 business days of ordering. Then the regular delivery time will apply.

Mod: Orders are being cancelled due to price error.

    possibility that they put the wrong price on there. a few others are selling for $1999 save $700

    wireless1 $1999
    Computer Alliance $1999
    JW $1999

    When all these guys have a sale of Asus / Msi laptops they generally all have the same price/discount as they get special deals from MSI/ASUS etc

    if you look at another Asus Tuf Laptop
    FX507VV4-LP080W

    Scorptec $1899
    Wireless1 $1899
    Computer Alliance $1899
    JW $1899

      You might be right, price error where I should be $1999 not $1199

  • sskanth999 on 17/12/2023 - 22:46

    I bought one as well as i was looking at one good gaming laptop and ASUS TUF was quite expensive and not less than 1500$. Do they give any extra warranty if we pay more like HN or Binglee?

    • Brrrrt on 18/12/2023 - 05:27

      Extra official warranty is purchasable via MyAsus once you activated the machine with your Asus account.

      Last time I paid for my zephyrus duo, it is a '1 Year International Warranty Extension (for Standard 2 Year Warranty Model)', on a NZ sku that cost me 169 NZD.

    • StarPlatinum on 18/12/2023 - 10:09

      Idk if u need extra warranty considering we’re covered by the ACCC in which devices are protected to last a reasonable period and jb hifi recently is under investigation for selling “useless” extra warranty

  • prayforjojo on 17/12/2023 - 22:46

    Purchased one. Hopefully they honor it and with no delays!

    • TurnipHead on 17/12/2023 - 23:01

      You did notice the whole "awaiting stock delivery" status right? Best case scenario, it takes a couple days for them to get stock and given it'll be XMas, you'll get the item after XMas. More likely scenario is that it'll take a while for them to get stock or they'll cancel orders.

      • Nash171 on 18/12/2023 - 00:55

        If they cancel the orders later, we gonna miss other offers too! :-(

    I slept on this deal, now I'm regretting not jumping on

    • Clear on 18/12/2023 - 06:48

      You might not if they cancel all the orders. Considering it's "in stock at supplier" Synnex/Ingram or whichever distie may decide not to honour the price.

  • voldemort on 18/12/2023 - 07:23

    Do I need 32GB RAM or 16GB enough for most tasks?

    • OZKap on 18/12/2023 - 07:28

      Definitely wait until you actually get the laptop either way.

      I found 16gb to be plenty in my Nitro 5 (10300h, 1650ti), especially since this laptop already comes with a 2*8gb config

      What you will almost definitely want is another nvme ssd for storage, 512gb isn't a lot when considering modern games

  • custom on 18/12/2023 - 08:45

    Waiting on a cancellation email. I notice the sold out website now shows on sale for $1999, especially as 1999 lines up with the on sale prices on the previous page

          After seeing all the horrible stories above on this Scorptec, worry that they will screw us around on delaying the refund by BS during holiday period no one working on it. Will it be easier to ask Paypal to revert it instead?

        If they are such a d|ck & pain to deal with on warranty claims, you think they will do this? No way!
        They better refund me asap and I will neg this deal and won't ever buy from them anymore.

        • slothhead on 18/12/2023 - 10:55

          I hope they took legal advice before making this decision!

            +6

            @slothhead: There's no need when the law is black and white. They have no legal obligation to honour a price error under ACL. Nor do they have to provide compensation. Anything more than a refund is good will.

            People say shit about reporting to ACCC everytime this happens and it never goes anywhere. Seen it more than a dozen times over the years already.

    • HomeAlone on 18/12/2023 - 10:53

      Reminds me of that time when they had a TP-Link mesh router 3-pack for $129 (at supplier), but then sent out emails saying there was no stock and offered to sell a 2-pack for $529 instead.

      • kaikor on 18/12/2023 - 10:56
        +1

        I don't care about their other stupid offers, just give us back our cash and we will go elsewhere.

        • HomeAlone on 18/12/2023 - 11:04
          +1

          That's exactly my point.

          I ordered mesh router 3-pack for $129 and got offered a 2-pack for $529.
          That's 1 fewer unit and at a $400 premium.

          I find it insulting that they would make such a ridiculous offer to me instead of just immediately processing a refund.

            +3

            @HomeAlone: They using this tactic to delay refund. I reckon this time they just scam us with this deal and grep our cash to enjoy their holiday, we probably wont get our money back till NY

    Does anyone know what is the refund process for PayPal pay in 4? Do I get the first payment refunded and the rest are automatically cancelled?

    • kaikor on 18/12/2023 - 10:55

      Yeah i did the same thing, but seeing paypal already paid them in full, I would assume after the refund, will just revert our 1st payment (if it comes back before 2nd payment due) Correct me if I am wrong please.

      • solitude on 18/12/2023 - 11:43

        Yeah I also used PayPal pay in 4. Now no idea how it will work with the refund. What a mess.

      Yeah I won't be buying there again. First order was an Acer monitor that they ran out of stock on, told me more stock might be coming, ended up cancelling that order and changed to a samsung monitor (also from scorptec)

      My experience combined with other people's stories of warranty problems - just not worth the hassle

    I have just received a formal cancellation email from Scorptec - now need to Wait for a sale at Lenovo and re-order the laptop I cancelled so that I could take advantage of this deal!

    • Emblex on 18/12/2023 - 11:00

      That sucks! Which deal/sale did you get onto for the Lenovo previously?

      • slothhead on 18/12/2023 - 11:02

        Ordered the Legion Slim 5 14” for about $2100 with Cashback. I’d be great if cash rewards or ShopBack offered an enhanced cashback to give people who missed out on this deal a value buy.

        • Bluey123 on 18/12/2023 - 11:33

          Just a question around the legion. Do you know if it usually stays around the $2100 price. On the website it says its a sale of around $1000. So just wondering if its actually on sale atm

          • slothhead on 18/12/2023 - 11:36

            @Bluey123: Yes - Believe this laptop is regularly on sale, although the cash-back offered through shopback and cashrewards often changes - from ~3% to 15%.

        • myvanbo on 18/12/2023 - 11:37

          If you got a student mail, you can get it for 1950 or smthing, albeit without the decent warranty as the 2100$ one. During BF, that model get as low as 1700-1800 with cashback iirc. And we're talking about the 32gb ram + 1tb ssd option, not the base config.

          • slothhead on 18/12/2023 - 11:37

            @myvanbo: I don't have access to a student email address unfortunately!

              @slothhead: Then i would say Hold til boxing day at least to see what they're preparing for us. Deal after cashback and sale usually better than you buy it with student email (cannot use cashback with student email).

    Boo to them.. If they honored it for 20-30 orders, that'd cost them less than 15k (because they're not selling without markups) and put them ahead of other competitors… would clear their name for bad after-sale as well. Cheap price for Marketing imo.

    Anyone consider buying this at $1699? I know its not the same as $1199, but looking at ther stores, there are still no other store that has it listed for $1699. Just want to get some inputs on the fair price for this model. For context, I am not a big gamer, but just wanted a laptop with enough grunt to last me a few years without an upgrade.

    • myvanbo on 18/12/2023 - 12:10

      For 1400-1500 maybe. For 1699, you better wait for cashback and sale from Lenovo and grab the Legion Slim which doesnt have any significant flaws.
