I'm thinking of getting one of these myself as it's cheaper than getting a Netbook.
Of course Netbooks are smaller and lighter and have longer battery life but I think this notebook is a good deal.
Not sure how good the Celeron T3100 is though as well as the graphics chip 4500M.
JB Galleries Victoria has them for $528.60 after cashback and refused to beat or match this price but I've heard they were pretty crap. Might try JB World Square and see if they'll beat it.
Single core CPU, It doesn't work fast
it says "Dual Core T3100" ??
I just ordered one. It's mainly gonna be used as a torrent downloading machine overnight. Other times it'll be used for net surfing as well as the occasional video. Maybe play some mid-2000 games. They should run.
I thought the T3100 was dual core?
fyi, i bought COTD deals, very similar.. only mine is 2.1GHz, and LED backlit display..
it was $549, no cash back.
i think this $437 is better…
oh btw, i suggest you extend the warranty…
Oh how come? Is it worth getting an extra year of warranty?
Some Acer notebooks just die after one year. So the $19 extra warranty might well worth it.And i also read it as dual core.
@Saturday: Forgot to mention, i also have a BankWest credit card which gives one year extra warranty on products you buy with this card. So if i buy with this card and pay an extra $19, may finally end up with 3 years warranty?
coz majority people in this country believe acer isnt good…
i should bought $437.. extended warranty is $25 i guess? cheap..
If you're after a cheap 15.6" screen and you only need to browse the net and write documents, it's probably ok. Still, it doesn't really have a lot going for it. Pay a hundred or two more for not so yesteryear tech.
