Asus PRO61SL-6x013cs $1549 (Myer), $1444 with Myer One discount of 15% available off the original $1699 price.
16.1"
P8400 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB memory
320GB hard drive
ATI 4570 512MB graphic

EDIT: originally stated as $1317, but seems Myer One applies to non-sale items, so could do $1444 without resorting to other measures. Eg: Rick Hart is quoting the unit at $1567. Consider price match then Myer One discount.

Myer One Discount details are here: https://www.myerone.com.au/myerone/downloads/Bullseye_email1…

Close up pics at http://www.rickhart.net.au/notebooks-33/asus-147/asus-pro61s…. Rank of gaming graphics performance places the ATI 4570 between a nvidia 9600M GS and a nvidia 9600M GT http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphi… and ranked at http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark… . ATI Powerplay can underclock/undervolt the GPU to improve battery life.

This is a real bargain, with advertising by stealth by Myer. More current best bargains at

    How to use the Myer One discount?

    Looks very nice, nice spot

    Check your Myer, voucher states cannot be combined with other promotion - and according to Carindale Myer a catalogue special is a promotion - meaning you won't get the 15% off the $1549. At best I was able to get 15% off the full price $1699 which still gets it down to $1444.15 which beats the catalogue price anyway.

    Still a good deal either way.

      Given Rick Hart are doing it for $1567, they should be able to price match, then -15% for Myer One discount. Can ask anyway. Still $1444.15 is a good deal.

    What your paying more for here is the bigger screen and beefy processor. All the other specs are pretty much standard on mid-range laptops these days, and you can find cheaper Acers/Dells with better graphics cards.

      It's competitors, based on GPU/CPU performance as from http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1161441 would be as below. Benq S42 being a price/performance/features standout:

      13.3" ASUS F6VE, P8400 and ATI 4570 ~$1500
      14.1" BenQ S42 ~$1300. P8600 Nvidia 9600M GT DDR3 256MB/X4500 hybrid graphics, LED backlit screen.
      15.4" HP DV5-1138TX P8400 nv9600M GS 512MB DDR2 $1399. www.msy.com.au
      15.4" Dell Studio15, P8600, Radeon HD 4570 $1499
      16.4" Acer AS6930G-842G25Mn P8400 nvidia 9600 M GS 512GB. $1249 after cashback.

      NOTE: originally it was though this ASUS unit would cost $1317 ($1549-15%), so at that price would be a bargain. It was noted that Myer One does not apply to an already advertised product.. so editted it, rather than delete it.

      If you can find cheaper Acer/Dells with better cards than this, please highlight.
