    is this the same laptop that jbhifi and DSE were just selling, now $46 cheaper? Quad core version too. They just discounted the earlier discount?

    I almost bit last time, trigger time now.

    8gb = $80
    120gb ssd = $80-100
    Sell existing ram+hdd = $40-60 back

    Total cost between $314 and $354. Not bad!

    …just remember it needs DDR3L 1.35v not 1.5v

        Correct, and it cost more than this. Dual core was 30-60% slower in benchmarks if memory serves.

      I installed the 120gb SSD and 4GB ram last night, it flies! Booted in 6 seconds. Shut down in 4 seconds.

      Still a fresh install so no software installed. Would be a bit slower once more software is installed.

    I believe HN is selling it for $417. Do they price match JB HI-FI for ACER laptop? If they do, I am thinking of spending another $50 at HN to get AMEX $50 off. http://www.harveynorman.com.au/hot-deals/acer-aspire-es1-411…

      I really should get an AMEX card, awesome idea. I've been successful price matching the before, I think it varies from store to store (manager's discretion) as I once shaved heaps off a TV on the proviso I paid in cash before COB that day or offer would be withdrawn.

      Same. Am supposed to go pick it up today!! Going to see if they'll let me return it then re-buy for cheaper price. Or maybe they can just give me store credit for it.

        Went to pick up my laptop(bought for 299 day before the price drop) today, along with another one bought for the lower price, and asked them to lower the price of the 299 one to match the lower one, as they dropped the price right after. If they were going to refuse, I was just going to return it for the full $299, then go and order another one for $253 anyway, but manager said yup, no problem.

        also another tip, if wanting to buy on amex(for points), don't do it instore as JB Hifi charge 2.5% surcharge. Better to buy it online, use paypal to pay via amex with no surcharge, then pick it up at the store.

    Probably a silly question but will this happily accept a 1600mhz ddr3l stick instead of 1333mhz? I know desktop's do, hopefully this just treats it as 1333. (I can get the 1600 a few bucks cheaper)

    • lgacb08 on 14/05/2015 - 09:38

      I think it does, my old laptop was i3 first gen and use 1066mhz ram but i stuffed 1333 in it and it run fine ever since, with both old and new ram sticks in it

      Best photos are not depend on the cameras. The most important thing is you use the camera properly.
      You can choose the most expensive camera you can get with your money, but not the best photos.

    • krisspy on 14/05/2015 - 11:16

      You don't need an slr if you're asking that question.

      • ankor on 14/05/2015 - 21:25

        Yes and no actually. I got to play with one for a day about two years ago, and somehow got hooked and bought one a little bit later. You never really know. If sajidmib is any type of OCD, then he or she will enjoy photography :)

    • ankor on 14/05/2015 - 21:15

      Mate, that's a pretty open ended question there!

      The best advice is to read some reviews and work out what you are going to use the camera for.

      If you are:

      -just taking pictures of food then a shitty little iphone will be fine.
      -interested in portable photography with minimal shiz to lug around then it would be worthwhile to check out the olympus omd e-M10.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK1K32K-9nA)
      -interested in what should be better pictures but more versatility with shots, then the canon eos1200D (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik1OiWOQ13M)
      -if you like wiping your butt with $100 bills, don't mind carrying larger amounts of camera equipment, then just go the Nikon D7100 and buy yourself a few good lenses afterwards..

    i would say not buy , i already got a similar model in HP , called HP G3 250 , almost same specs , it had 2gigs of RAM and sucked , i had to make it 4gigs to be able to just use it for basic needs , guess what , the best part ; it only had 1 RAM slot

      See my post above. 8gb ram+SSD will transform this bad boy. Real bang for your buck. Only downside is the Acer badge but I'm willing to look past that for this price.

      I'm actually considering getting 2, his and hers (the latter won't get ram+SSD upgrade though) - anyone know how cash back works buying 2, would I have to get them in different names?

    • strikerzebra on 14/05/2015 - 09:48

      This one has 2 ram slots and you can always put an SSD in as below

      • Click_It on 14/05/2015 - 09:54

        Which does, his hp or this acer? On my phone right now but I'm pretty sure it's a single slot. Thus the 8gb stick. Can caddy up a 2nd hdd though. I won't bother, got a nas for storage needs :)

        • strikerzebra on 14/05/2015 - 10:02

  • maverickjohn on 14/05/2015 - 10:11

    Personally i would buy this laptop for $150 extra. has a pentium processor vs celeron and is a convertible for tablet like use. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/laptops/lenovo/l…

    • paulaus on 14/05/2015 - 10:17

      Its $167 more when you account for the $39 cash back from acer and for that price you could stick in a ssd and 8 gig stick of ram.

      • maverickjohn on 14/05/2015 - 10:26

        Thats true, but for me since i started with computers in 2000, celeron was always the reject processor with faulty silicons, so the security of having a better cpu, with a nice extra touch screen validates this model, also Lenovo is generally more reliable than Acer for laptops. There are a few reasons (for me personally) to move up to the Lenovo, i only suggest for the community my opinions on the products. Just my 2 cents to try help out.

        • paulaus on 14/05/2015 - 10:33
          +1

          im not really sure what pentium is anyway its not an i3 or i5 or i7 might end up being a celeron anyway. And this celeron is a quad core.

        • Click_It on 14/05/2015 - 10:35

          To be pedantic, the earlier celerons were overclocking beasts, celeron 366 from the late 90s :) your right though, they lost their edge in later years.

      Not quite tablet like. The hinge is not full 360 degrees, only 300 deg, so the furthest it can fold back is until the laptop reaches a 'stand mode'.

    what happens with windows with this laptop if you install an ssd, im sure they dont give you a widows cd ??

    • scrimshaw on 14/05/2015 - 10:31
      +3

      You don't get a CD anymore, not in the last 6-7 years lol. The repair partition is usually invoked through the BIOS, you press a hotkey and it loads the windows install media from the hidden partition.

      If you lose that partition or intend to delete it,you have to burn a DVD install media yourself or make a bootable image on USB or flash drive.

      There's no need for activation because windows reads the pre-authenticated key directly from the BIOS.

      • Belv on 14/05/2015 - 12:14

        Isnt that partition on the hdd that i will remove but and replace with SSD????, so what i just put new ssd in, install windows from USB downloaded from Microsoft site and it should just pick up key because its hidden on bios somewhere……..????

        • Click_It on 14/05/2015 - 15:44

          I last did exactly that with a then-new Asus F202. Remove hdd, insert ssd, insert USB with Win8, install. I can't remember if it automatically adds the key or skips that part entirely but I remember being impressed at the time.

          Going to do just that again once my SSD arrives.

          Just bought 2 acers today (using 1 now in standard form) — heaps of bloatware by the way, this is my wifes laptop so I'm just uninstalling it on hers. I'll go all clean-install on mine though.

        • rokufan on 16/05/2015 - 18:54

          @Click_It: You downloaded 'Windows 8.1 with Bing' from Microsoft website? Are you sure? Do you have a link?

          I would like to do a clean install as well (no bloat). But my understanding is bios key will only activate Acer OEM recovery, the MS download will only work with retail Windows versions.

        • rokufan on 17/05/2015 - 11:50

          @CVonV: But the key is only for 'Windows 8.1 Bing', you can't download that version from MS website - there is a note on the downloads page that tells you to contact your computer manufacturer.

          you may also need to read this guide on how to preserve the OEM activation (apparently not as simple as just saving the key)

    • Click_It on 14/05/2015 - 10:31

      Windows 8 product key is stored on the bios or somewhere. A new install picks it straight up, easy as.

    I know many people dont like extended warranty but its $54 to extend to 3 years in JB. Might do it just to be able to get TRS.

      What's this TRS everyone speaks of?

        Tourist Refund Scheme - you get 10%GST back when travelling overseas.

          Just to make this clearer, you will receive the FULL GST amount back, which is 10% of the product. This comment sounds like you get 10% of the GST so just want to clear it up

          only if you are travelling within 60 days of the purchase, and you need to show the invoice and the item physically to claim it.
