    Thanks fchis. I basically use my current 5 year old Acer Aspire 1410 for internet browsing, downloading music and movies, and playing movies on planes.
    
    This might do?
    
    I'm just a bit concerned about the 14" screen size… I like my very portable 12" Aspire. I'll check it out at the shop.

      Apparently there's only one 14" (touch)screen made worldwide, and its a horrible screen, I had the Asus S400 and sold it after two weeks.
    - cyssero on 20/06/2013 - 10:25
      
      The Acer 1410 is an ultraportable with a u9x00 ULV processor - the CPU in this is significantly better.

After a quick bit of research looks like the CPU is on par with some on the Gen2 i3 Processors. Definitely keep away from the Officeworks or JB HiFi models as they have the crappy Pentium 997 CPU which scores the same as the older Core2 DUO CPUs

Nice deal, luv cashback offers on Acer/Asus laptops. it seems those offers never stop
BlazinPast on 20/06/2013 - 12:34

Great deal. Be warned though. The specs aren't great for a laptop in general. This is for strict casual use. The only downside with buying such cheap laptops is that it'll get outdated much sooner. Sometimes it is worth putting in the extra money to slightly futureproof your laptop.
GuniGuGu on 20/06/2013 - 13:20

Do we know dimensions and weight on this laptop?

  weight 2.2kg, thickness 25mm, dunno L and W
- GuniGuGu on 20/06/2013 - 13:25
  
  Actually to answer my own question:
  http://www.acerstore.com.au/acer/store/index.php/aspirev5-43…
  
  DESIGN
  - 25mm thin, 2.2 kg Light weight silver chassis
  - High Definition 14.0" mulit touch screen
  
  Which is surprisingly heavy considering how thin the thing is i think..
  - Riczter on 20/06/2013 - 13:27
    
    Yeah its definitely no ultrabook
  - mskeggs on 20/06/2013 - 13:30
    
    Having held it, I suspect the 2.2kg is with power brick, but I could be wrong.
    Also, looking on ebay, a spare battery is under $50.

I took a look at lunch time in JB Hi Fi. The screen seems ok but quite washed out. There is no contrast adjustment just a brightness and text on a white background it not that great. It is quick though and for the price seems good.

Do you think it would be hard to swap out the HDD for a 128GB Flash Drive?

  No real details but doesn't sound like a straight forward task " Replacing the hard disk with an SSD is also quite the undertaking"

  - GuniGuGu on 20/06/2013 - 14:17
    
    Im curious about this… why would it be so hard?
    - Riczter on 20/06/2013 - 14:22
      
      If the chassis back comes open and the hard drive is accessible then its possible. It's only hard if you have never done it before and have no idea what you are doing. But if you've done it before then it should be easy.
      
      EDIT: Ohhh, Hard drive does not have easy access… It can be done but requires almost complete disassembly of the laptop :(

      Short Version: Remove all screws on the bottom and the battery. Look under the battery for the little grey buttons. Push on these to pop up the keyboard. Remove keyboard and remaing screws underneath. Disconnect cables. Lift. Hard drive exposed! Good luck folks.

Just went and bought one at Bing Lee Haymarket for $398.

According to http://ec3.acer.com.au/AcerCashBack/ACA/Projects/CashBack/Lo…

It is $89 dollar cashback and not $69. I have sent it in with the highlighted version. Hopefully they honored it as $89.

Edit it weighs 2kg with the battery
- ozhunter68 on 20/06/2013 - 14:11
  
  Great spotting " dcnguyen82 ", $ 89 cashback makes this laptop a " BARGAIN ".

    - ozhunter68 on 20/06/2013 - 14:48
      
      Will not know 100% until you get that approved Acer eftpos card in the mail with $69, but hopefully $89 on it. Takes about 4 to 6 weeks to process. Either way this makes it a Great Bargain IMO.

  This page says it's $89 cashback:

  This page says it's $69 cashback:

  It's the "entity" code at the end of the URL that determines which list you get. Both of these lists are found through a Google search.
  
  Does anyone know the finer details about this? I guess once you actually register the purchase date and SNID, you'll find out which program you're in and what cashback you're entitled to.

Typing this on the new system. It is fairly heavy, dense for the size.
Keyboard is OK, but I'm not a touch typist.
Win8 is a bit painful.
The CD drive is not the easy to remove sort, I had some thoughts of adding an SSD in the drive bay.
Seems fairly snappy overall, but then, all new systems do, don't they!
