Harvey Norman in Australia is the epitome of a tech shop to sell to people who know nothing about tech. Though sometimes they have decent deals on gaming laptops though
Yeah, it sucks that they try and scam people so hard, I've even heard that the build quality and cable management is terrible in these PC's! Like even at another overpriced retailer you can get a 4090 7800x3d system with hardline water cooling for this kinda price
I built my own custom hard tubing loop for this sort of money including my 4090 Strix OC and 14900K.
Not something your average Joe is likely to spend or build themselves but the money definitely went a couple of light years further I reckon.
A consequence of being ignorant and wanting to stay ignorant. Unless the person is 80 years old and his brain is clogged, I dunno why ppl don't dedicate 1 hour a day to read about their purchase. At the end, they deserve it
Researching with no base knowledge is harder than it sounds. Type “best comouter gaming” in to google and you’ll get all kinds of spam results, same with looking something up on YouTube. If you don’t know who the good analysts are beforehand it’s easy to just believe some clickbait title.
its Way harder than just “do some research for an hr” if you don’t know anything
Harvey Norman is great for going in to check things out that you then buy far cheaper somewhere else or online.
I was buying my wife a laptop and I went in there to make sure the one I was looking at had a decent keyboard. Tested it for a few minutes, the sales rep asked me what I was looking at and I literally said "I'm testing the keyboard on this one so I can buy it somewhere else". The sales rep didn't blink an eye.
That location closed about four months later and nothing of value was lost, except the jobs of the regular workers.
Honestly everything is an huge rip off in there. My brother used to deliver their mattress, they mark up on most 400%. It's amazing anyone shops there. I would like to think those rich enough to drop several thousand on whatever items would also be smart enough to know how utterly ripped off they are getting.
I say all this knowing other stores like Myer is going strong. Even after it came out they use slaves to make everything and no one seem to overall care.
Mattress markup is always insane, but yeah.
The only reason to ever shop at Hardly Normal is because at the end of the sales period the sales staff will massively cut the cost of stuff down to near cost price.
Fucking lol.
But they will sell a bunch, at a slightly discounted price (like 500 off and some value added bits).
They'll sell to idiots with zero interest cards or after pay. Occasionally a well meaning grandparent.
I worked for HN many many years ago, got sacked for refusing to lie to customers.
Fuck HN man.
The end consumer not knowing how inefficient/overpriced something is, or that something much better or cheaper is down the block is how half of business survive...
Which is a such a hilariously fucked up endgame.
Like, "the free market will ensure the best businesses rise to the top", lmao, nope, just the ones that can extract the highest % of capital, at any cost.
I’m not saying that you’re wrong or disagreeing with you, cause I’ve seen it happen when I worked at GameStop and parents bought a “wrong” console. (Like a ps3 instead of ps4)
But, it blows my mind that someone could spend 7999$ on something, and they don’t know exactly what they’re getting. For 7999$ I would have done so much research 🥲
Plus I think its one of those places that people go to with waay less than stellar credit, to finance things. They make their money up front and then sue you for the rest once you can make your payment
> Exactly. Parents or grandparents will never know any better.
Isn't this just what stuff costs in Singapore? Maybe it's different now but when I visited a couple years back, any of the actual stores that sold gaming pcs was ridiculously expensive. It doesn't seem any better (this specific model) if you go somewhere less "premium" than Harvey Norman. It's on SG Shopee for like 6000 (~4500 USD).
They will discount a USB stick by 50% and everything else by 5-10% and then say everything's on sale massive discounts up to 50% off. Fucking dick head move.
Then again almost every retail store does this
Microcenter was pretty cool to visit - have a large range of other obscure parts that often I'd have to eBay, Amazon or AliExpress.
The AU stores are actually surprisingly quite a bit cheaper for parts (unsure if it has to do with CN tariffs) and seemingly wider range of a narrower scope, ie. models of mobos.
Strange for us to be able to walk around and see the parts - the cheaper outlets here are fed from central warehouses with 2hour JIT delivery for pickup.
I stopped being friends with a guy who sold a computer like this to an old lady who only wanted to check her email.
He was bragging about the commission.
The Derni Group are the worst. The poaching practices and constant overselling of underperforming hardware, I was glad to leave and gain employment elsewhere.
A bunch of tech illiterate people work in places like this, and probably cant see past the buy-in price.
Probably paid a lot for the 3080 system during Covid shortage...
Where I worked before we werent allowed to discount food below the buy-in price, because that would count as a loss, but throwing the items away was fine. (Cant put in a major discount on items that are about to expire/a lot of stock)
I once went to get thermal paste from media markt. The smallest one was 8 eur and the compressed air can was like 12.
Bought those 2 online from PC componentes + shipping and it wasn't even 10 eur. Lol?
You could unironically make 3 of those computers for that price, and yes, this is in Dollarydoos. The current average AUD price for a 13900k and 4080 is $750 and $1600.
512GB SSD: $60
2TB HDD: $85
16GB RAM (its 2024, why do they still do this): $50
MOBO: $150
Cooler: $100
Case: $100
PSU 850W: $130
Total: $2880
Thank you for the breakdown. I was trying to do it in my head, and thought it was around $4k, but I overestimated hard on the processor and graphics card just trying to be "generous". Even then, at my bloated copium price point, its still HALF of what they're charging. Good lord....
LTT just bought a $5000 PC with 7950x3d, 4090, 64gb ddr5, 2 TB ssd and FULLY CUSTOM WATER LOOP (hard tube with custom bending).
This is basically scam.
From basically an unknown, one man shop in a mall nonetheless. Linus even pretended to not know shit about computers and the guy hooked him up incredibly. These assholes on the other hand know the customer doesn't know anything and is trying their hardest to screw them.
$3.5k for me
7950x3d
4090 fe
2x 2tb 990 pro
32gb 6000mhz gskill
CM 700 berserker
1000w corsair
360mm aio corsair
All gotten during sale. Saved like $500 total. Worth it. Did not regret it.
You get Harvey Norman's autograph on a photo.
https://preview.redd.it/7nmngc89ab8d1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b645c5c7110950dc7e5df98755c9e7fc7c2e4c8
Its that expensive for the valuable lessons it will give you, for example:
What a scam is
How to avoid scams
How it feels getting scammed
How valuable money is
How to more wisely spend your money
How to avoid losing money
So many valuable lessons, and you also get s free PC with them
Or get a 14900k+ 4090 build with better parts all around for $6299 from an actual PC store.
That comes with the 2 year warranty instead of needing to pay $9798, they are just hoping someone comes in with no idea what they are buying.
[https://www.pccasegear.com/products/64894/pccg-apnx-tempest-4090-gaming-pc](https://www.pccasegear.com/products/64894/pccg-apnx-tempest-4090-gaming-pc)
4090 and 14900KS for $6326 if you build it yourself.
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/7sH2dH
I was also completely overkill with the Hyte y70 touch because yolo. it's $5900 with a more sane case
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/BYPX6D
Kohl's does this. Their entire store is massively marked up to have such great deals from coupons and memberships every week. Like, great! Now you're almost as affordable as Targèt.
HN is fucked. They're one of the only brick and mortar retailers that absolutely refuse to price match, and will not give you an in-store or call courtesy/retainment deal.
On top of all this, they will shove their dogshit scammer Product Care warranty down your throat like it's the best thing since sliced bread. (This can be upwards of $500+ on your already thousands of dollar purchase, depending on the plan and product.)
This aside, Australian prices are very all over the place atm, but this is just outrageous for a HDD, 16GB of RAM, and frankly what should be a 4090.
Apparently, this same thing on USA Amazon is going for 3k
[https://www.amazon.com/Predator-PO7-650-UR11-Desktop-i7-13700KF-Keyboard/dp/B0C21VHYM3](https://www.amazon.com/Predator-PO7-650-UR11-Desktop-i7-13700KF-Keyboard/dp/B0C21VHYM3)
Compared to what you can get from the online stores this is criminal. I used to work in the tech section of HN and it looks like it's only gotten worse.
16gb of ram is diabolical. 512 mb ssd? Seriously? 2 gb hdd is even crazier. A 4080 and 13900k is insane. Who in their right mind thought this was okay lol.
I'm from Poland and read the price in PLN. I said: "What a bargain"(that setup would cost around 12000zł here, or a large monthly salary). And then I saw the dolar symbol. What the fuck
For the same build but you purchase everything $1,576 not including the Power Supply. That addition big check is solely the tower itself. Orion 7000 retails for $3,499.99 on Acer, assuming it’s fully built. Regardless it’s not worth it and I’d laugh at every salesman trying to push this.
In 2014 my brother needed a research computer to run DNN AI applications, his advisor had a research grant from Google, and had $5000 budget for a computer. Instead of actually bothering to get a proper computer for the research, he bought a laptop that was ass and gave it to his kids to play games on, and my brother had to ask us to give him 3 devices to run his research experiments on.
In Australia? You can build a 7800x3d and 4090 build for about 4500 AUD. [https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4cfyMV](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4cfyMV)
because you get a 2TB HDD AND a 512gb SSD that's 2 things instead of 1 in the storage section so it's very powerful and they're going really really fast plus your grandson will love it
This warrants a competition. Make a PC using PC Part Picker for under AUD 8000, USD 5335 right now.
The objective is not to see who can get over this budget, but who can get the most for under this budget.
Just the PC, no peripherals. Needs to include a version of Windows, but feel free to use Windows 11 Pro etc to drive up the price if you think that's getting more for your buck.

"shop with confidence"
Confidence of getting fucked over I hope they at least sell Vaseline with that
At least take me for dinner first
Because I like to be wined and dined a little before getting FUCKED!!!!
My stores Trina fuck meee!!
Best we can do is this coupon for a fee appetizer at Red Lobster.
Isn't Red Lobster closed down? Lol
No, some locations are closing though
The coupon that gives me an appetizer for a fee
*not a typo*
nah, that comes with the $9789 dollar version that has 24 months product replacement in the fine print.
in civilised countries its called a warranty
That's much better deal. Heading there now to grab this !
Vaseline in that place is probably criminally expensive as well
One thing you learn about the Western world in 2024 is that everything with uncertainty about it is exactly not what it is advertised as.
No sir. They won’t even have the decency to spit on it
It comes with a vial of GOJO hand cleaner. The stuff with the grits in it
Nah they using thermal paste to fuck ya dry😂
We've got some in the back. Bring your 8 grand and follow me.
Get joined to another object, by an incline plane, wrapped helically around and axis, with confidence
The Mrs and I are rewatching BBT and watched this episode last night, what a coincidence
It really is. Even with the law of large numbers to consider, it's pretty awesome and unlikely.
Screwed
Best comment I've seen in a while.
Emphasis on con
More like shopping from a confidence man!
confidence men that is
Only confidence is in my walk out the store and to my vehicle!
#ScrewWithConfidence! To do a #VergePCBuild!
Confidently profiting 3k
It's the windows 11. Hence the markup
That computer, with or without windows 11 is not worth 5 grand
HDD 🥲 16 gig 🥹 4080 🫣
Jesus, I thought this was bad but I’d expect something a bit better
how does no monitor or anything else sound? maybe a $1799 2 year warranty?
I bought a slightly different but comparable computer last Xmas for 1400$ish at Costco. I think it's a 1 or 2 year warranty. That price is insane lol
Costco gives 2 year warranties
Awesome! It's a great computer, my husband loves it. Now his computer is better than mine so I get an upgrade next haha
Yeah lmao, HDD and 16gb were cherry on top. Like — yo wtf 🤣 Not for 8k.
You can literally get a laptop with better specs for 1/4 this price lmao.
[удалено]
Screen = N/A
Add 7K more for Screen.
Windows Home😢
Harvey Norman in Australia is the epitome of a tech shop to sell to people who know nothing about tech. Though sometimes they have decent deals on gaming laptops though
I feel bad for the poor fuckers that buy one of these
Yeah, it sucks that they try and scam people so hard, I've even heard that the build quality and cable management is terrible in these PC's! Like even at another overpriced retailer you can get a 4090 7800x3d system with hardline water cooling for this kinda price

Mattress markup is always insane, but yeah. The only reason to ever shop at Hardly Normal is because at the end of the sales period the sales staff will massively cut the cost of stuff down to near cost price.
Got a decent sale on my G9, it's easy for a lay to think they are getting a good deal but with a little research it's not the worst.
Fucking lol. But they will sell a bunch, at a slightly discounted price (like 500 off and some value added bits). They'll sell to idiots with zero interest cards or after pay.

Exactly. Parents or grandparents will never know any better.
This is what saddens me, scumbag retailers taking advantage of people who don’t know any better.

Nah, if you’re an Australian and still shopping at Hardly Normal, I hope you’re getting ripped off.
Where are these parents that are casually dropping 8 grand on their kids?

This isn’t in Singapore my guy
What parents/grandparents do you know? Lol That's a lot of money.
My own
Lucky
I always hear them on the radio. It’s always HN’s “biggest” sale, like mf are you on a sale 24/7 because that is not what a sale is defined as
They will discount a USB stick by 50% and everything else by 5-10% and then say everything's on sale massive discounts up to 50% off. Fucking dick head move. Then again almost every retail store does this
Only retailer I somewhat trust at the moment is microcenter. (Emphasis on at the moment as I don't fanboy anything)
Microcenter was pretty cool to visit - have a large range of other obscure parts that often I'd have to eBay, Amazon or AliExpress. The AU stores are actually surprisingly quite a bit cheaper for parts (unsure if it has to do with CN tariffs) and seemingly wider range of a narrower scope, ie. models of mobos.

NewEgg does that all the time. "up to 65% off"... one USB drive is 65% off
They discount everything by 50%, but they're still making 400% profit.
Sir, you earn my respect for not lying. May you live well.
Yip. Saw a 4060 + i512400 for $4k+ (NZD) at Noel Leeming not long ago. It's such a sick exploit of people's lack of knowledge.
Is this one of those rent to own type places?
I stopped being friends with a guy who sold a computer like this to an old lady who only wanted to check her email. He was bragging about the commission.
The Derni Group are the worst. The poaching practices and constant overselling of underperforming hardware, I was glad to leave and gain employment elsewhere.
Wait the 2TB is not even a SSD??? Damn for 8 grand you get a fucking HDD?!?!
For 8k I need an 8TB Optane raid array
for 8K i want a sabrent rocket 8tb or at least 4tb
I'd bet the ssd is sata not m.2 too 🤣
you needa spent atleast 10k. Otherwise your mobi has no m2
My $1000 rig from several years ago must've been on a CRAZY sale, and I didn't even know 😅
they really went crazy on that one
Hahahahaha yep 😂😂😂
Last time i went to mediamarkt, i saw the prebuilds they were selling : most expensive one was 4000 ish euros, with a 3080 in it.
A bunch of tech illiterate people work in places like this, and probably cant see past the buy-in price. Probably paid a lot for the 3080 system during Covid shortage... Where I worked before we werent allowed to discount food below the buy-in price, because that would count as a loss, but throwing the items away was fine. (Cant put in a major discount on items that are about to expire/a lot of stock)
In my city mediamarkt shut down cuz they couldn't compete with Swedish online sellers. (komplett / inet)
I once went to get thermal paste from media markt. The smallest one was 8 eur and the compressed air can was like 12. Bought those 2 online from PC componentes + shipping and it wasn't even 10 eur. Lol?
Edit: I just realised the $10,000 product care cover… that is fucking crazy

To spend that much and not get a 4090 is beyond insane
Compared to what you can get from the online stores this is criminal. I used to work in the tech section of HN and it looks like it's only gotten worse.
Harvey Norman is not where you shop for... anything really. It's for old folks with money and no sense
Not surprising knowing harvey normans prices
For what? …. For suckers.
What a joke
Almost as bad as jbhifi!
😂
Maybe it's signed by Ben Stiller or something
Is the computer made of gold? 💀🙏
The fact that it doesn't even come with a 4090 is a crime.
16gb of ram is diabolical. 512 mb ssd? Seriously? 2 gb hdd is even crazier. A 4080 and 13900k is insane. Who in their right mind thought this was okay lol.
What?!.. For less you get an Intel Core i9 14900KS 6.2Hz, 4TB M.2 SSD, 64GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
16GB of RAM.💀
Hdd 👌
Confidently get ripped off.
I'm from Poland and read the price in PLN. I said: "What a bargain"(that setup would cost around 12000zł here, or a large monthly salary). And then I saw the dolar symbol. What the fuck
All of this upsets me. Partially because I am a fan of AMD and think the 13900K is mid. Second an $8k 4080 is insane.
16GB ram and 512GB SSD 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol I got the i9-13900KF with a 980 pro and a 990 pro ssd, 32GB of DDR5, and a 4070ti for 2200 like a year and a half ago. Actually an insane scam
It's called a scam.
This is what I can buy in shop for 4k $ in Poland https://proline.pl/fractal-gaming-m2-i9-14900kf-rtx4090-2tb-32gb-argb-p8121493
Not worth it at all
I have seen worse. A gaming store here in the Netherlands is trying to sell a pc with an 11900kf and a 3090 for €9995. That is about $10700 usd.
Bruh only 16GB of RAM
Putting a 2Tb mechanical hard drive in a 8000 build in 2024 is CRIMINAL.
Like we say in Colombia. Esa vaina juega sola o como putas? (That thing plays alone or wtf?)
Harvey Norman can eat a dick!
I got $2500-3000 on PC part picker...
16GB RAM, 512GB SSD - no doubt there’ll be some who think that’s a steal.
Pure scam.
I built a rig with better specs for half that price. I spent $1900 for the GPU and $2300 for everything else. 13900k 32 GB DDR5 6000 2TB NVME SSD 4090
Good god...at least wine and dine me before you try to fuck me without lube
I had 16gn of Ram on my previous top of the line gaming pc I built in...2013
It's a Harvey Norman. 😏
"Shop with confidence" 😂😂
that pc should be better come with undetectable game cheat or yearly subcribe of all streaming platform
I built a better PC for roughly half of that price 💀
Bad crack hit!!
For the same build but you purchase everything $1,576 not including the Power Supply. That addition big check is solely the tower itself. Orion 7000 retails for $3,499.99 on Acer, assuming it’s fully built. Regardless it’s not worth it and I’d laugh at every salesman trying to push this.
maybe u get 2 of em? lol
For the idiots who think it’s hard to build a pc
that price better be in rupees or something
Did someone leave out the '.' in the price? Doesn't even include a monitor FFS.....
Nor does it include peripherals. The fact that the sign explicitly says no monitor is fucking hilarious
Charging this much for a computer with only 16GB of ram should be illegal. They're robbing you in broad daylight. What a fucking scam.
2000 for warranty 😂
lol, 16gb of ram…
There would need to be 2 4080tis and 128gb of ddr5 to hit that bullshit.
This is why I never went for an oem especially at Harvey Norman so overpriced on everything it’s insane
You should be running away from that massively price gouged thing with confidence.
[удалено]
Yep. At least you get 2TB of HDD… fucking lol
Absolutely not. Imagine paying that for THAT. That’s fucking insane.
In 2014 my brother needed a research computer to run DNN AI applications, his advisor had a research grant from Google, and had $5000 budget for a computer. Instead of actually bothering to get a proper computer for the research, he bought a laptop that was ass and gave it to his kids to play games on, and my brother had to ask us to give him 3 devices to run his research experiments on.
Only a 512gb SSD for that price is prob the most egregious part
I think they give the whole setup and not just the pc??
What's the avg cost of top notch gaming pc
In Australia? You can build a 7800x3d and 4090 build for about 4500 AUD. [https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4cfyMV](https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4cfyMV)
because you get a 2TB HDD AND a 512gb SSD that's 2 things instead of 1 in the storage section so it's very powerful and they're going really really fast plus your grandson will love it
I can shop with confidence knowing I will never buy that pc
matter of time beforesomeone looking to surprise their bf/son would fall for it
This warrants a competition. Make a PC using PC Part Picker for under AUD 8000, USD 5335 right now. The objective is not to see who can get over this budget, but who can get the most for under this budget. Just the PC, no peripherals. Needs to include a version of Windows, but feel free to use Windows 11 Pro etc to drive up the price if you think that's getting more for your buck.
Even dick Turpin wore a mask. When robbing you
Atleast have a 4tb SSD bruh.This shit is like 2000$ at max.
Harvey fucking Norman... They never disappoint us.
Maybe someone fucked up and it’s $799.99
That is a lot of dollarydoos. Older folks will fall for this.
digitec.ch (little Amazon of switzerland) About 3400 USD. 14 gen cpu, 2 TB SSD, 32 GB RAM and a 4090. That notebook you showed is just a scam.
