Most retailers are currently selling this model at 20% off RRP, i.e. $1748.
Yesterday, Officeworks just reduced the discounted price an additional $101.
Was tossing up between this model versus the X elite processor with OLED screen, which is currently going for an extra $500 or so. From my research, it appears there's only marginal performance increases with the X elite. The OLED screen has been reported to have a 'screen door' effect and I can confirm this is visible when I tested it at the store. It might not bother some people but it was enough for me especially since I would like to use this device more as a tablet with its reported battery life compared to older generations.
Screen door look from the touch layer? That's depressing to read in 2025.
