Here we go...

 

I've heard that deals may be limited due to lack of stock level.

Bugger. Didn't even notice that. Still, the sale is on till 31st Dec, so there's still hope.

 

Also saw a review of The Hobbit and they said the picture was so good they might actually be prepared to sit though the whole thing just to admire it (or words to that effect...)

PB Tech - Boxing Day Sale - PBTech.co.nz

 

 

So the laptop I want to buy my son is on sale, but apparently it’s ‘sold out online’, and with the four remaining units spread over (Auckland) stores - is this usual with PB, and are they ever willing to ship these units or transfer them to another store? This is the laptop:

Try using chat to put a hold on them and then try sort it out when the store opens

I'd actually pay extra, get it delivered and have a stylus included.

We just bought the same laptop for my fiancee's uni work(digital art design) and this top notch.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Wi-Fi 128 GB (Black, Bronze or Silver) US$549.99 (~NZ$840 approx. delivered) @ Amazon US 

 

Model no. SM-T870NZKAXAR (NZ is SM-T870NZKAXNZ)

 

Currently 
- $1044 The Market (Coupon BD2020)
- $1098 PB Tech
- $1349  JB Hi-Fi (+ $200 store credit)

 

To get NZ$840ish, you need to add the $50 (or $41.02) coupon on the product page, and add the NZ10 coupon from a previous deal.
My final price has a $5 credit added from the Amazon Aflac deal, hence why I've bumped price up to NZ$840

 

Image of price breakdown
(USD) $549.99 + $16.18 shipping
- $50 Samsung coupon
- $10 NZ10 coupon
- $5 Aflac coupon
+ $75.18 GST
= $576.35 (~NZ$833.77)

Good to hear positive comments about the model; according to a to-the-point email I got a few months back from PBT, this does come with the stylus (as apparently obvious in the title description of the page - I thought it wasn’t that clear!)

 

The issue is my son wants a 360 with stylus for art but has to meet any cost over $1k and has little on-hand cash to do so...

Oh doh! My assumption is that it wasn't because we did actually look at this in store and the PBTech sales guy said that it wasn't included in any of their models and that was in November so that must have been a recent edition.

Quite frank what you have there is the better deal but IMO the 6 cores is worth having and the extra storage as those photo files can get huge.

Another thing to note. The 8gb is soldered with another sodimm slot being empty. Mcafee is preinstalled. Apart from that it's almost a clean install of windows and my fiancee can get around 8 hours just drawing at max brightness. She loves it and with whatever option you choose you'll be satisfied.

I think black friday ones are now the better ones, and you don't have to disrupt Christmas. eg The deals on sony TVs for example aren't as good as on  black friday. I think I am going to pass on all unless there is something I see online. But many of the deals advertised on TV are often just to get people into physical stores, and have limited stock that goes quickly.

Really good prices on Panasonic and LG OLED tvs at Noel Leemings

https://www.noelleeming.co.nz/shop/televisions/televisions/oled-televisions/panasonic-th-55hz1000z-55-hz1000-4k-oled-2020-television/prod192116.html  



[oops looks like LG CX 55 for the same price is sold out already]

This is a better than $1000 drop on what HN were advertising last week.

Not a Boxing Day sale but big discount



Be very careful dealing with these guys. I've had the worst experience with them I've had with a retailer in many years including a 2 month wait for a refund that took threat of a credit card charge back and copying consumer institute to get what was owed me.
