  It's a pretty good price. It's because it is a previous generation model. (The new one is the Z570 with a i5-2410M, more ram, better graphics etc…)

  Graphics card isn't all that great. I thought all the SB chips have integrated graphics EQUAL to a GT 310M?

    Pretty much, probably better in some areas. Consider it basically equivalent to a SB with integrated and the price probably still isn't that bad. This would play 2-3 year old games no sweat.

    That said, in the 15.6" range there are better laptops than this for similar pricing.

  The E520 with i5-2410M and AMD Radeon HD 6630M is better value for $594.15 AUD, without any cashback stuff.

  HD3000 in the 2nd gen i-cores is faster than the GT310M in this box. See http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark…

  HD3000 = ranked #189
  GT310M = ranked #191

  Lenovo E420/E520 or Dell Vostro 3450/3550, both on sale atm, have the faster HD3000 iGPU AND give you a HD6630M switchable graphics option:

  HD6630M = ranked #100

  Consider too that the 2nd-gen icore is more powerful and more power efficient. The Z560's GT310M will suck up your battery faster.

  JB also have a 14" K43E i3-2310M that you can negotiate for this price.

  cpumark at http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php tells us:

  i3-2310M = 2610
  i5-460M = 2609

  This deal needs another $100 off imho.
