Asus VivoBook X202E-DH31T also got a bit discount to USD$399 (~AUD$449 delivered). That's the 1.8GHz i3 ULV + 4GB RAM version not the Celeron one that has been discounted recently. It was $419 USD from B&H 2 months ago ~$456 delivered. With yesterday's interest rate cut + possibility of more cuts from RBA this year, the outlook of exchange rate might not be favourable for the shoppers though.
1080i may be a let down. is it 1080i only at 60fps or even at 30 fps?
