probably why i didnt post as a seperate deal. Lots of laptop tho.
Stick an SSD in this and/or swap out the DVD drive for a SATA HDD bay and it'll be a good cheap beast for the parents or the kids.
Great post and good deal if you can snare a new/as new one as the details in listing state it could be slightly damaged/packaging.
A little heavy at 2.1 kg compared to the hugely popular Acer 14" +- $258 less cashback from JB & HN few years ago which was lighter at 1.8 kg, but did not have a DVD drive, lighter build, and lower specs ( Celeron Quad core and only 2GB ram ). Just sold mine with 4GB ram as new last week to a friend for $260, tempted for this with much faster CPU and probably more solid build.
Battery life stated for 8-9 hrs. so can realistically get 5 hrs and maybe more tuned down. Can upgrade ram up to 16GB/maybe 32GB but not sure, that would be overkill anyway for this. Would run nice as said above with ssd and 8GB ram.
I'm looking for a laptop but have avoided Acer due to their previous appalling unreliability.
Have they picked up their game?When you are dealing with entry level below AU$800 laptops, all brands are fairly similar at that level with one to two % difference but Acer often provides better spec for your $.
This unit, although a little dated and providing basic specs offers great value and would match most brands below $600 for these specs, give or take some details.
What can you come up with in a 14" i3 laptop below $500?
I have one of the acers mentioned above from 2 years or so ago still going good but during the warranty period in the first year a key popped out of the keyboard. I rang support center and they said keyboards are not covered under warrantee. So i sent to china for a keyboard and installed myself cost $30 delivered.
Dang, just bought a Lenovo IdeaPad 120s

Hi mate is the keyboard backlit
I like your wishful thinking, but I doubt it. If it did MSY would usually list it in their spiel.
No it's not.
For people who don't mind a larger 15.4" form factor but same weight as this one at 2.1 kg then this Dell is a good deal too with 8GB ram and removable battery for $495 delivered for ebay plus customers.

Is this branch specific? I can only see it at $599…
They changed the price. I'll mark as expired for now, as they seem to have plenty of stock in the system.
The ram is almost completely out of stock…
