Asus 13" Ultrabook
Up To 7hrs Battery Life
Win 7 Home Premium
The cheapest I could find is at JB HiFi. Probably good option for those who messed up with Lenovo's system error and missed on previous X220 deal.
some1 please remind me why is this a bargain? it sounds more like a product announcement. Dont get me wrong it s a great product but definitely not a bargain at this price. Plus the next gen of intel CPU's will be here in 3-4 months. Then this ultrabook will go real cheap for sure.
Can you find it cheaper anywhere? Everything will be cheaper in 3 - 4 months. That argument doesn't fly.
nah they're not that good, these are the first generation of ultrabooks, and not worth the huge prices. next gen will have huge power saving increases.
Probably the cheapest price for this level of SSD quality in a laptop. Anandtech went into detail on this, I think (far faster drive than the Airs.)
15% off a brand new release laptop is a good deal IMHO.
I think the T&C says excluding all ultrabooks
which I assume they mean by the zenbooks
cheaper than dick smith i guess….
Looks sexy.
Anyone know for certain if one of the two USB ports is USB3?… it's a deal-breaker for me.
excellent!
I'm confused with why this laptop is a bargain? Looking at the specs, I'm sure there are plenty that are better than this for a fraction of the price.
Give examples.
Macbook Air perhaps?
It's thin and light, that comes at a (significant) premium.
better battery life than your average notebook and has SSD, which is obviously more expensive than normal internal drives
Okay, please show me another slimine notebook with a 13" 1600x900 screen? MOst 15.6" lappy don't even have this high resolution for starters, majority have crappy 1366x768 screen.
Indeed, even higher resolution than Air13.
Model number?
not really a bargain, can always haggle to get this price no problem,
dont forget people was getting this laptop at this price a week ago with free xbox promo, of cos thats expired, but that will give u a idea on how low it could go
Which promo was this? This Ultrabook only came out last week in Australia.
4 cell battery, what a joke, I would spend the money and go for the Z830 from Tosh instead.

i would rather get the asus.
mmmm 1600 x 900 resolution on a 13".
Doesnt matter if your battery dies! And the colour representation on this screen is a shocker not to mention the touchpad

Is that the same review that says
"Bottom Line
The Zenbook UX31E is almost perfect, except for its mediocre touchpad."?
I'd rather shave certain parts of my anatomy than deal with Penta.
Given they are drop shipping from Ingram Micro, you are not really dealing with them, regardless that price is pretty common with all the drop shippers.
ever tried calling them about your order? worst pc company ever, although there is a lot of competition lately
is this 1269$ including 15% off?
Nicely spotted!

Link shows $1269 - which is 15% off the original price. Buy it online if they wont give it instore ;)
Just bring in intel's definition of an ultrabook…get them for false advertising if they don't give it to you!
Seriously tho, the Graphics is a BIG LET down for the PRICE…, irrespective of the screen size and other specs !
This laptop's aimed at business use, why would it require a dedicated GPU?
It is razor thin, is fast, looks dope and can play 1080p vids with ease…what more do you want? Expecting it to play BF3? give me a break
actually this is the cheapest I found going through staticice and shopbot. too bad that 15% off doesn't apply here
This price is 15% off. Normal price is almost $1400, they must have may an error in the ad/price.
Are you serious?
