    Their website says;

    Model Number: NX.M7LSA.002

    Which according to Acer (http://ec3.acer.com.au/AcerCashBack/ACA/Projects/CashBack/Lo…) gets an $89 cash back… Sooooo.

    BARGAIN!

    Edit: Oh, and your maths is off. It would've been $330, but with the correct cash back it's $310.

    • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 10:37

      Double check the cashback is from the AU site. The NZ cashback is higher.
      This is the list for Australia which states $69 (note the entity number at the end of the URL. This is different for NZ claims).

      • easternculture on 12/09/2013 - 10:40

        thanks, fixed

      • ryang on 12/09/2013 - 10:44

        Huh.. Well that's confusing! Thanks for the correction!

      • furythree on 13/09/2013 - 09:54

        so which is the correct cashback

  • brocky2006 on 12/09/2013 - 10:34

    what are the thoughts on this a a laptop? in general is it good value, i dont know much about this processor series, but other specs look good for the price

    • KOBH on 12/09/2013 - 15:46

      The specifications are okay, but the brand CRAP.

  • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 10:40

    This system has been listed before on OzB, and I bought one.
    I added an SSD and find its performance very good. The graphics are sub-standard for games or rendering, but for office/web I find it excellent.
    Note the touch screen makes the system reasonably heavy for the size, but still very portable.

    • ryang on 12/09/2013 - 10:42

      Whats the battery life like? Reviews put it around 3.5 hours - was hoping for more honestly.

      • Kelvin H. on 12/09/2013 - 10:46

        That seems about correct. I manage to get around 4 to 4.5 hours with brightness down while doing general tasks e.g. web browsing.

        Edit: Keep in mind that it's only a 4 cell battery. Most laptops come with larger 6 cell batteries.

      • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 10:51

        Battery gets about 2 and a bit hours for me with a 3G dongle & bright screen doing web browsing on the move. About 3hours+ at home on wifi.
        A second battery is about $35 on ebay, and I am hoping they bring out non-OEM high capacity ones as it is a bit weak.

    • easternculture on 12/09/2013 - 10:42

      any comments on responsiveness of touch screen

      • Kelvin H. on 12/09/2013 - 10:47

        Screen is very responsive but when you touch the screen, the sides ripple.

    • wesleysniper on 12/09/2013 - 11:49

      I've got one of these too and I've seen a lot of people say that they've added an SSD to it.

      How do you do it?

      • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 11:57
        +1

        It is necessary to remove the back cover and keyboard to get to the hard drive. It wasn't difficult, but if you have never done something like replace a notebook screen or similar it could be unnerving.
        And I guess it voids warranty.
        Alternatively, you can drop the DVD Drive out and replace with an SSD in a 9.5mm sled.

        And here is a link in Spanish showing how to replace the internal HDD in a very similar model.

  • ddhytz on 12/09/2013 - 11:06

    Does it have HDMI port? One picture shows HDMI port but not mentioned in the specs.

    • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 11:28

      yes to HDMI. It also has an additional dongle port with a cable for VGA and Cat5 Ethernet.

  • PecanCecil on 12/09/2013 - 11:35

    Does anyone know if office works stock this model?

    • spy on 12/09/2013 - 11:38

      Nope, not even JB or DS.

      • PecanCecil on 12/09/2013 - 11:39

        Damn :( thanks though!

  • citybargainhunter on 12/09/2013 - 11:51

    ah very tempted, just sold two laptops but I already have a laptop from work. damn it.

  • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 11:59

    This laptop has been discussed previously for those considering:

    • spy on 12/09/2013 - 12:22

      Picking up on Trentan's comments on 08/08/2013 on the MSY link, he said:
      "Price Matched at OW, none left in stock in Canberra (just display models but I didn't want that…)…I paid for it now ($349.60), they've got a few (30+) coming in a couple of weeks…..Still good for Acer cash back as they will print new dated invoice when I pick up."

      Wondering how he went and whether the stock arrived and whether they sill have it….

  • MattADL on 12/09/2013 - 12:42

    I need a laptop for uni but it has to be able to run this 3D modelling software:

    http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/SystemRequirements.html

    Will this laptop do the job?

    • mskeggs on 12/09/2013 - 12:46

      I would say no.
      The sys requirements suggest a 'probably' ok and shows support for Intel 3000 graphics, but I understand this machine has a subset of the 3000 spec. Happy to be corrected though.
      Even if it does work, you are using a low spec machine with low spec graphics to try and do a pretty demanding job, which sounds like a recipe for frustration.
      Hence my 'no'.

  • MattADL on 12/09/2013 - 12:57

    No problem, thats for the advice.

    So I need to keep my eye out for something with a better graphic card?

  • mrmoshe on 12/09/2013 - 13:06

    Damn you OzBargain!!
    Too tempting, so one on the way for me.

  • grab_ur_freebies on 12/09/2013 - 14:28

    Wonder if these will go for under $300 by xmas?

    • easternculture on 12/09/2013 - 14:31

      probably would be all sold out by then and superseded by a more recent model

    • ryang on 12/09/2013 - 14:32

      The new gen Intel chips are pushing all 3rd prices down, so it might drop again. Or, the more likely scenario, it will be out of stock.

      All depends if its worth the gamble. Personally, I'm going to wait. Don't need one until early 2014, so heaps of time to wait it out.

      • easternculture on 12/09/2013 - 14:33

        Or, the more likely scenario, it will be out of stock

        it sold out last time when it was @ the same price as this deal

        So probably clearing out this model

      • KOBH on 12/09/2013 - 15:44

        6 months later, you probably get an i5 for the same price, since the technologies are moving so fast.

  • figarow on 12/09/2013 - 20:13

    I need a cheap laptop can someone give me a reason not to get this in favour of a similar deal?

  • arikkim on 12/09/2013 - 21:11
    -2

    Heads up. The cash back is store credit on acer's website, not a refund.

    • ddhytz on 12/09/2013 - 21:30

      it should be eftpos card and can be used in many stores.

    • Metaphor on 12/09/2013 - 21:32

      That's not correct. It's an EFTPOS card that can be used via any EFTPOS terminal.
