Why is the discount on Motobook 60 Pro Core Ultra 5 225H (2.8K OLED) fluctuating so much?
- June 30: 65k, with a 9k HDFC CC offer → 56k
- July 3, 12AM-1PM: 63k, with an 8k ICICI CC offer → 55k (early access price for Flipkart Plus members during the GOAT sale. Screenshot from July 3, 1AM)
- July 3, 1PM: Jumped to 68k
- July 4, 12AM: Still 68k, with an 8k ICICI CC offer → 60k
- July 4, 1:30AM: Dropped to 65k, with an 8k ICICI CC offer → 57k
- July 4, 3PM: Raised to 68k, but the ICICI offer was cut from 8k to 5k, and Flipkart Axis offer was raised to 7k → 61k
- July 4, 8PM: Raised to 72k, with 7k ICICI CC offer → 65k
- July 5, 6AM: Still at 72k, but the ICICI offer was cut to 5k → 67k
Looks like July 3 morning was the best window, but only if you had early access. Honestly wish I'd just bought at 56k on June 30 instead of waiting on this so-called "sale." Watching the price fluctuate and creep upward overall every few hours has been more stressful than it should be. I am so done with this!
Side note: they also quietly launched a cheaper 60 Pro variant on July 3 with a lower-res, lower-refresh screen, which seems to be tripping up a lot of people:
- WUXGA = 1920×1200, 60Hz
- 2.8K = 2880×1800, 120Hz
