thanks
Hmm, Dicksmiths doesn't sell it. Officeworks also has a F553MA, but apparently with only a N3530 CPU rather than the marginally better N3540 that this one apparently comes with. Not a huge difference, but maybe the MSY offer is slightly ahead of the pack?
In any case, personally I'd spend $70 more and get a Kogan Atlas X14FHD Laptop with 1080p screen. Some people don't like high resolutions though.
Specs in the deal would be nice.
Looks very comparable to the Acer ES1 deals posted recently. Only with a bigger screen and 4gb ram. The Acer after cashback was closer to $200 though. This is good but should be priced under $250 to be a deal in my opinion.
This version of Windows upgrades to Windows 10 Home if anyone was wondering.
Bought one of these from The Good Guys yesterday… Feels very light and unsubstantial, and DOESN'T come with a CD/DVD drive, but it seems to be a great little laptop so far.
Value for money wise, how would it compare to the recent 15 NUC https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/205076
I did a comparison between the CPU but not sure what the difference will make
http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/800/Intel_Core_i5_Mobile_i5…I'm looking for a basic PC for a Yr 7 kid to do homework on and internet browsing. I already have a FHD monitor to connect to it.
You are looking at the wrong numbers.
Look at performance, not frequency or number of cores:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+N3540+…Great thanks! Guess it's a you get what you pay for. Wondering if at $300, this is the best performance device around?
You can also do stuff like comparing two particular CPU models - http://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2408&cmp[]=2478
The i5 comes out way ahead…
Pentium Quad-Core? Is it sufficient performance wise?
want one for test run of win 10 and backup pc. price is good.
Comes with BING!!!
BADA
Sold out I believe.
FYI, it's SATA2, got a 250MB/s on a 850 Pro!
Only 1 slot for memory, so to upgrade need to replace the one -which is a pain to dismantle.
Same price at Dicksmith, JB, Officeworks, David Jones, everywhere lol.
