I think you will find this is because JB has taken a huge number of these. They have been selling heaps of these for the last year or so.
These ones have a better CPU than last year, great battery life and full windows.
Great deal, why you would buy a network I don't know.
+1 voteif JB priced this at $299 (psychological pricing), they will be sold like hot cakes. 3 months ago this laptop would cost $405. Almost $100 off. Good deal.

Why oh WHY don't our phones enable us turn -Off- this D*MNED AutoCorrect / SpeedType!
It's almost "lawsuit bait" the way it twists meanings & make a person seem to be drunk or drugged, if they don't stop & spend -more- proofreading their "AutoCorrected" text…
usually -more- time than they -may- have saved using that silly "service" :-/
Expected reply from phone maker: "It ain't broke, it's a feature. ;-)

+3 votesIt's a $300+ netbook. You can't expect a Core i3 in a 11" netbook can you.
You can probably overcome some of it's deficiencies with a solid state drive upgrade. Chuck in a OCZ Octane SSD and watch it fly. In most instances of computing, it's usually the 5200RPM drive that is the bottleneck (waiting for programs to load etc)
But there are considerably more powerful laptops for $30 more. This one has a B815 CPU (double the passmark score) and a 15" screen (though that's admittedly better for some people, but worse for others):

ya, i missed that one when it was $288 from centrecom not long ago.

What tasks do you do that a CPU limited on your laptop/netbook/tablet?
The CPU is the weak spot in the machine but it's still fine for most things.
Far more games these days are limited by the graphics where this thing does remarkably well.
It is a pity there is no integrated die Intel/Nvidia CPU/GPU system but that's just the way things go. AMD have done a sterling job with their APUs.
+1 voteMake it so on 22/06/2012 - 00:06 ¶Not bad, but not sure if this really classifies as a notebook. It's a powerful netbook, though.
+6 votesjohndoe123 on 22/06/2012 - 07:16 ¶im typing on it now and very happy for $318. this is not a slow atom 450 netbook. i consider this as a laptop. as good as my old core 2 duo tecra m10. very good value for money. long battery life. multitouch touchpad. light and stylish. the bottom line is "If you don't want the bulk of a 15.6-inch budget machine yet can't afford an ultrabook, don't stoop down to the netbook level, get this instead"
+1 voteThe emachines is quite inferior to the DM1. It is not all about cpu.
DM1 can easily upgrade ram to 4-8gb, runs full windows 7 easily (and office), screen is signficantly larger in real life, and is 1280x768 rather than 1024x600. I think the amd graphics on the dm1 is much faster as well.If you want a small laptop, look at a DM1 next to a netbook and unless you want an ultraportable system where speed doesn't matter, the DM1 has much better useabilty.
If you want features and don't care how big it is, then the 15" laptops give you much better performance and features for the dollar, but usually have way shorter battery life, are not truly portable, and have screen resolutions the same as the dm1.
I own one and would go again.
Ivegottheskill on 22/06/2012 - 10:01 ¶I bought one of these last year during a 10% sale, albiet with a 1.3GHz processor. Best netbook on the market in my opinion. Nice keyboard and I think 11.6 inch is the perfect size, not too small but still very portable. Battery life for me has been around 4-5 hours.
Energy consumption is minimal (CPU and GPU TDP is 18w) and you should be able to play 1080p H.264 quite easily with DXVA or other HW acceleration enabled as it's a UVD3 chip.
+4 votesI own the 4016 (model before) and would highly recommend these to anyone wanting a very portable laptop. Don't let the HP symbol on the lappie fool you. This is built very nicely and looks even better in reality then in the pictures.
It blows the crap out of any netbook and is easier to carry around then any notebook. Unlike most netbooks, it can play some average games (TF2, CSS, WOW all have no issue). Battery can be over 6hours if configured right and it's a lovely piece of equipment to use.
If you looking for something in this ballpark, and are ummmming and arrring (and you're not a pirate), just grab it. One of those laptops you won't regret getting.
+1 voteStandard SSD fits. I have had the 4016 model and was so happy with it I haggled JB down to $312 for the 4018 but I think that must surely be very close to cost price. It plays some games and full HD video easily. For me it would be useful if the keyboard had backlighting but I'm just being picky. It so nice to have a decent resolution screen full notebook functionality (sans optical drive) in such a compact form with great battery life at such a low price that I am surprised there are not sold out!
funkthefame on 22/06/2012 - 17:46 ¶Picked this up yesterday instore, compared against the rest of the netbooks on sale, this was the winner. Esp for 20% off - $335 was a sweet deal. A bit of HP Bloatware, but have just installed linux mint on it and its going well..
arthurbach4 on 23/06/2012 - 20:00 ¶So to clarify if you wanted to maximize the ram you would take out the presumably 2x1GB sticks of ram and put in 2x4GB sticks? (I haven't upgraded a computer in ages).
Also is that DDR2 or DDR3?
Thanks.
- arthurbach4 on 23/06/2012 - 21:39 ¶
Excuse my ignorance but if there are 2 slots and 2 GB of RAM - does that mean that it comes with 1x2GB or 2x1GB RAM?
Also is this the sort of thing I am after:

- silentkiller87 on 23/06/2012 - 23:26 ¶
anyone knows whether does this comes with a 7200rpm or 5400rpm hdd?
- arthurbach4 on 24/06/2012 - 10:28 ¶
Just picked one up from JBs at Southland. They had heaps left. The dude reckons it only has one slot for RAM and that it won't take an SSD.
Can anyone confirm this?
comes with 1x 2gig stick with 1 spare slot free. it takes a ssd ok (9mm and 7mm versions are ok).
i've got it running with 2x 4gig DDR3 1333 ram with a crucial m4 ssd. Works great for a mini laptop to code on.
the service door is a bit hard to remove on mine, took a while but managed to slide it open for the HDD and ram replacement.

Was this price last week and I missed it, thought I'd have to wait longer than 4 days to see it again.
