  It says 10 hours battery life, with actual use I get around 5-7 hours on mine. Paid $900 for it a year ago, has got so cheap. Nice computer, the keyboard isn't great though if you plan on typing heaps.

    Sounds like the same battery life as the E320, which would mean the E320 is a much better choice.

      I've got the E320, my sister and a friend have this ASUS. Would take the ASUS anyday as its a lighter pickup and its got a better trackpad.

        Weight difference is an inconsequential 50g. The E320 has a very useful trackpoint and is a fair bit cheaper when on sale. I'd expect the keyboard to be better as well. Matte screen too.

        E320 trackpad is awful, and is heavy for a 13".
        But it comes in red…

  Good laptop for uni — note the CPU is a previous generation Nehalem and is not a Sandy Bridge.

  Nice alternative to the Lenovo E320.

  Highly, Highly, Highly recommended. Using it for uni and its battery lasts a few days without charge with normal uni usage. Very fast for a cheap price. I also paid 900 for it a year ago and am very happy with it. Great pick at 500

  Is the screen shiny or matt ?
  considering this for my daughter as her Lenovo T420 was stolen .

    shiny unfortunately, but i'm sure she would appreciate the lighter backpack! screen is not too bad in light if u crank up the brightness.

  They posted this deal way back in December and didn't really catch on.
  I bought one this month from them and quite happy for the price since i was purchasing for the form factor.
  Couldn't find many 13.3Inch laptops around the $500 mark with good specs except for the lenovo and this one.
