    Take a look at www.umart.com.au (they have 3 stores, 1 in Sydney).

    They have the WTPA (LG LS50-WTPA Intel PM1.7 XP Pro/60G/DVD-RW/512Mb) model for around $2,500 and the H13A (LG LS50-H13A Intel PM1.8 XP Pro/80G/DVD-RW/1024Mb) for around $2,900. Not sure if they accept Flexi Rent or not.

    HTH.

    Cheers

    You may find some more info (model specifications and owner's manuals) as http://au.lgservice.com. This looks a little out of date as it doen't have the H13A.
