Harvey Norman doing another AMD notebook sale? - Page 2

Yep, gonna be buying me one of them. They lost the sale of UX31E today though coz they wouldn't match MSY or JB. So instead of $1300 sale, they will get $700.

Plus, get this, the sales guy tried to tell me that the screens res is only 1366x768 now coz the higher resolutions were buring out the graphics card on old laptops. So that's why they are now such a low resolution. WTF? notsureifserious.

And then, the same guy tried telling me that the AMD A8 was as fast as an intel i7. I'd already stopped listening to his opinion on what was the best deal aaaggeeeessss before that pearler, but I can't believe how dumb he was sounding.

Was that salesman's crap from the Mt Gravatt store?

That pic showed the sale date ending Sunday 15th April.

Today is Sunday 13th April.

Good proof reading Mr Advertising guy.
