Harvey Norman Has ‘Buy One, Get One Free’ For AMD Notebooks

Lifehacker AU

This is an unusual deal: from now until the end of the weekend, Harvey Norman is offering a second free laptop when you buy selected models. The main catch? Only AMD-based machines are included.

The conditions state that the second laptop needs to be of equal or lesser value, so you don’t have to buy two of the same model (though that might be what you’re after). There’s a lot of ASUS models on offer, plus Acer, HP, Sony and Toshiba. Stocks are likely to vary a lot between stores, so you might have to do some schlepping around to get the exact models you want.

    I wonder if they will give me one free if I had bought one back in Febuary?

    this is a very tempting offer, buy one laptop, sell the other one, end up with a 1/2 price toy

      But you won’t get too much for the laptop. HN sell at RRP, so you can buy new laptops for 25% cheaper elsewhere, and once something is 2nd hand it’s value drops significantly.

    The ad on their website says any laptop with an AMD processor, but when you browse their catalogue only a handful of AMDs have been tagged “buy one get one”. Has anyone been to a store to check it out in person?

    Harveys have been selling AMD Laptops at really high prices for a while. Check the US web sites like best buy. A8 HP @ $799US. He is selling the same laptop for $1498. So effectively, you are buying 2 for the price they should be sold at. You can buy 3 Pentium based PCs that will out perform these for $1000.

    Like any Sales and Marketing pitch…….For years the Consumer Law has given Businesses the power to get away with effectively “LIES”

    So Buyer be aware .. is the Best advise
