Cupe Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does your store have a site yet?I'd be keen to browse then see what price I can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yizzle Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 im looking for pretty much same thing. will be eye raping this thread but i have been looking at Dell's EOFY sales. got some good stuff in there. Ends Thursday i think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Only looked for a couple of minutes but here is what i came across:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/psk ... 58659.htmlhttp://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/psk ... 54870.html(note the $1 upgrade to 8gb ram on this one)http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/n53 ... 56506.htmlhttp://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/lz7 ... 53436.htmlHaven't price matched these against anywhere.Not many good dell laptops under 1k, youll only get an inspiron for that price. Being a dell warranty tech myself you want to stick to the xps, alienware or latitude models if you want a dell. They are more expensive, however dell has the best warranty options/service out of all the vendors, followed by lenovo and apple. Acer warranty isn't too bad either. These 4 brands offer on site warranty service in alot of places, meaning you don't need to send the laptop anywhere in the event that it fails, the technician comes to your house to fix them.That said, failure rate of toshiba/hp/asus is pretty good providing you look after themKey specs for a budget of ~ 1k:go for a core i7 processor4gb+ ram. 8gb is very possible in the budgeta big enough hdd to fit all their shit. Try for a 7200rpm hdd if you can find one that has one in it for that budget, may be struggling though. It is an easy part to upgrade later on most models though, so less important than cpu/graphcs card.1GB+ graphics cardEnough i/o ports to do what you need (usb, hdmi etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Does your store have a site yet?I'd be keen to browse then see what price I can getYeh Jb hi-fi site has our stock, will only show normal price unless it's in catalogue though, my store is having special grand opening sake though so may be different specials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Give me hard drive size, ram, CPU size that you want and I'll see what I can do under 1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 No real requirements mateJust trying to make it a decent-ish laptop for under $1k (the lesser the price the better, without giving up too much quality).$700ish would do fine. It will probably be used for super low end shit 99% of its life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ok too easy man, any preferred brand? I tend to steer clear of dell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupe Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Nah, none of that shit really matters (obv not a shitty unknown brand though) - anything mid range that works basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolDios Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Just as something to consider, however I think mitch has blown me out of the water with that asus.http://www.dell.com/au/p/inspiron-15r-5520/fs$800 for 3rd gen i7, 1TB hd blablablaOnly 4gb ram but im pretty sure it's only 1 dimm so you can upgrade it really easily.

Mitch Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Inspirons are of a lower build quality than the more expensive dell models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
