FNB Smart Devices

[vinodh]

I was browsing through FNB's catalogue of smart devices and was wondering what other devices they should consider offering. I noticed that they don't offer the Mac Mini. A good deal would be the Mac Mini including the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and Magic Trackpad as a bundle.

What devices do you guys think they should add to their catalogue?

I'd prefer they not bundle the keyboard and trackpad. I'd want to use a decent, full keyboard.

PS4 bundle?

Yes please.

And a TB display as an optional "extra"....

Those Thunderbolt displays are awesome but stupid expensive. They sell for $999 in the US but we get them for R16000. Something went slightly wrong there with the conversion from Dollars to Rands.

I was hoping that FNB was going to add the Nexus 5 to the catalogue but no sign of it yet.

They need to re-assess their prices however. Many of the devices are now either at the same price or even more expensive than some deals at MTN / Vodacom.
Quick example
- iPad Mini Retina 16GB - MTN: R299 / FNB: R309
- Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 - MTN: R369 (with 500MB) / FNB: R359
- Lenovo Tablet 2 - Takealot R6800 / FNB R450pm (R10800!)

Yup, you have to be daft to take up many of their smart device deals nowadays.

Drop prices, and get some proper windows tablets FNB.

Seems like they want to "bundle" their smart devices. That supposedly justifies the higher price since you get a whole bunch of extras with your iPad or whatever.

1) Their smart department is not so smart: Just look at hello peter and FNB smart devices.
2) Other places like MTN has better offerings: I got note 2014 LTE through MTN being a better deal.
