Was just commenting on another post when I found this deal. Not bad for an Aspire with an 8gb of RAM, i7 process and a 1TB HDD.
I'd probably look at getting this and then swapping out the HDD to a SSD.

P.S - Kogan is running a special on the Samsung 850 EVO (500gb) for only $199 kogan
ugggh this laptop reeks of mediocrity.

you have my sword
and if you want something even cheaper
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/hp-probook-450-g3-lapt…
will be $999 tomorrow at 10AM. But 720p display and no SSD and also stingy 4 cell battery.
None of these laptops would win a beauty contest. Don't know why HP persist with their big rounded corners.
FYI the Probook unlike the usual Pavilion crap, is a business notebook and it boasts better build quality and keyboards. Hence the slightly premium price.
It's comparable to a Dell Latitude 5000 series
I would stretch and get the Lenovo …… it has FHD and an SSD to get you started. opening the e5 is pain……. has plastic clips all around the edges and a pain to put back together due to how keyboard attaches….. might be worth googling being buying about take apart a and putting back together.
Hmmm good find. Only $300 bucks more the 192gb SSD is a bit small for my liking though (didn't even know they made a 192gb…)
This thing is gross. 768p display, tiny battery, cheap plastic build, no SSD, and it's heavy for the specs. I don't think just because 'whoopdy doo, even though every other spec sucks it has an ULV i7' justifies the price.
its also an Acer. You know Acer is quality.
LOL
I've got a budget of around $600.
What can people recommend for me
I would never buy an Acer product. They do not stand by cash back promises. I know multiple people that got screwed by them. They are just crooks.
I bought an acer a few years ago and got the cashback. It did take a while to process but that's normal with all cashbacks.
Count yourself lucky.
1tb hdd and 768p screen
hmm…
