Apparently this sucker can play Bad Company 2. Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM, 1GB Radeon Graphics.
Staticice have it for $1136 refurbed, so if this can be had for under $900 (not sure if that is the legit price), then even for an acer, that's a good price for a gaming capable lappie.

note: even though the entrance to store is on King st, it's listed as Collins St, Melbourne.
Damn, and i was going to by a 1,000,024 x 2,800,000 monitor !!!!
Please combine all your posts into one , your spamming us now Jeff and i am glad i didnt vote for you!
sorry dude, figured as they were completly different products, I'd be better to split em. but point taken.
No worries Jeff
relax dude…. he's just trying to show some bargains… don't get to technical and lighten up. appreciate and comment about the deal… if not then don't say anything at all! loser!
couldnt be more relaxed atm , maybe you could take some of your own advice hmmmm lol
not bad. u must of been going around the entire officeworks store and taking pics of deals! haha mad fella :P
Is this the Kings Way store in South Melb. I can't find a King St store on the officeworks site. I'm not from Vic.
This is in Vic, there is a King St store in Melb.
for some reason the store is listed as Collins Street, Melbourne. Even though the front of the store is on King. soz about that.
He's hunting bargains for us… give him a break.
got store discount to $865 then its got $169 Acer cashback, takes it down to $696, bought the last one at parramatta, brand new too, not return or display stock
wow that is good as
$865 down to $696
very very nice deal… i have this laptop.. bought it about 6months ago for $1365 with $169 cashback
awesome specs and battery life
i also saw this same price @ blacktown about a month ago.. it was the display model.. i posted it on wp and it's no longer there
for those interested in a similar spec'd machine Mwave has the Acer Travelmate TM5740G-524G50Mn for $879 with a $99 cashback before 28 feb —> http://www.mwave.com.au/sku-31010839
only difference i believe is no hybrid graphics and hence battery life is not as good.. oh and it's not as thin and light as the TimelineX 5820TG
CVonV, have you had any issues with the laptop, do you play games? things run smoothly? was always a bit wary with acer, but could not resist for the price
yeah i play l4d2.. runs it very well.. the 5650 overclocks pretty well too.. mine goes to 700/1050MHz from a default of 550/800
no issues.. the only thing i could wish for on this is an e-sata and firewire port. and having no expresscard slot, you won't be able to add anything in the future
temperatures get a little high during gaming (even on a cooler) but it's summer so i'm not surprised.. the cpu and gpu will get upto the 90s during really hot days if i'm gaming.. but it's never shutdown or throttled because of it.. it's also a very quiet laptop
battery life is around 6 hours on light use on the integrated gfx and on 32bit windows.. i only get around 4 hours on 64bit for some reason
speakers are shit but i never use them anyway
webcam is fine, does the job.. microphone is shit picks up a lot of noise
anything else?
how did u get store discount to 865? just bargaining?
can you possibly scan the receipt for me?
=) thank you in advance
hey warwick108, i have been trying to figure out how to upload an image but no luck, if someone could quickly give me a pointer, i will upload it for you, yes, i just asked can I get it cheaper and he punched in $865!
