so let me get this straight - you want to buy this, thinking that this may be a good deal for you, but to make sure you throw this to ozbargain?
This is the first generation Core i5 released in Q2'10 and not second generation sandy as advertised. Please correct. http://ark.intel.com/products/49022/Intel-Core-i5-450M-Processor-(3M-cache-2_40-GHz)
RAM is cheap… CPU is i5, not i7… Hard drives aren't so dear now.
When I apply Moore's Law, I don't see why this is so good.
If I say: My car is worth $ 7,000, will you pay me $ 6,000 & feel like you've got a bargain?
Will you say it's a BIGGER bargain, if tell a bigger lie, eg, "My car is worth $ 10,000; pay me just $ 6,000" ???
I've paid ~$450 for an ASUS i5 with 4 GB
Check MSY's RAM prices to see what I paid to upgrade to 8 GB RAM, then answer your own question
That was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, what are you talking about.
me thinks he means dont be fooled into thinking this is a good deal by the 8gb ram & 750gb HDD
Right.
Unfortunately, all the Free Speech advocates left OB or were at work, when the "censors" negged my comment. (So, I've negged the deal.)
Life goes on… Life is Good.
This deal is crap. Compaired to: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/54124
5755G - i7 2nd Gen - $670 After Cashback.
(I brought this deal, amazing!)
the word is bought not brought unless you gave this deal to the entire forum
I have got the same model but 2nd Gen i5 for 498 after cash back
where from? when?
From Centrecom, now.
link plz
it was from HN, but 4GB ram only tho. And that was 3 months ago :p
the only Acer i found for $499 after cashback is this http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/nbacas5750-bonus-memory-… but it's a i3 sandbridge and no discreet graphics, however they do have the Lenovo G570 i5 for $499
Average deal at best.. Not to mention the pain getting a cashback from ACER… Make sure you send your claim registered post.
I have done 5 claims so far and have not had any issue with ACER.
I thought the cashback ended on 31/01/2012 ? A quick search on google seems to confirm that it has expired.
Sorry, but this is not a bargain and I have to neg ths deal. Even this deal without the cashback is better:
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/XC7968/aspire-as5750g-2434g7…
Second Gen but only has 4gb RAM. I picked it up for $637 before Christmas and got the $99 cashback.
has anyone actually clicked on the link and look at the specs on the page?
it looks like the OP had a typo of some sort cause its definately a gen2 processor from the specs on the link (i5-2450m)
a model was given from kogans site and this is the link from Acers.

I googled the exact model number… it is a 2nd gen i5
Cheaper at Jb hi fi and same price at harvey norman.. So this is not a bargain in any way, shape or form
Precisely.
first post comment not gonna do your cause any good :P
