Price dropped another $10 at Costco since last Thursday.
Available for price match at Officeworks again for a total of $1,776.48.
Should be able to flip when the iPhone 17 Pro/Air comes out for not much less than what this costs right now.
Stack with 10% off Gift Cards, and 10x Flybuys for OnePass members for more savings (about $88 off your Coles shop or 8.8k VFF, enough for a one way domestic flight). Maybe even book a cheeky international flight and get the GST off, and salary sacrifice/tax deduct if you can.
YMMV but play your cards right and your total outlay could be less than $1k……
