• Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200 2.0Ghz
• 2GB RAM

Full specifications for this unit, as supplied by JB-HIFI email response is at http://www.acer.com.au/acer/seu4e.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&…

Presented as an alternative to Toshiba L300/OD5(FSB=667) with a better CPU(FSB=800) for similar money.

T4200 is a OEM 800Mhz FSB CPU, appears based on 45nm penryn tech, so is probably more power efficient too. Sketchy details on the web aboute it. Other current good value notebooks between $699 to $1099 are here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1170645

Consider too, the slightly better 16:9 HD 1366x768 from this better specced 15.6” with onsite warranty for $999..

15.6” $999 (after $149 cashback) Acer 5735-642G25MN T6400-2.0/800 3GB RAM, 250GB 6 cell battery, Vista Home, X4500 ** 2YR onsite warranty **

    Why thank you. My version of window shopping.. or in this case, Internet shopping. This JB deal is pretty good for a 800Mhz FSB T4200-2.0 15.4" for under $900. L300/OD5 has been pretty popular on whirlpool. On spec, this is a better performing unit, so I consider it a better buy than the similar priced 667Mhz FSB Toshiba. Would be interesting to measure the idle current draw on each. The T4200 may even run 25W TDP (no specs on the processor to confirm!).

    Mu favorite? For under $900 it would be this Acer unit and the 14.1" $812 Lenovo SL400 T5870-2.0 (FSB=800) 1GB 160GB, 6CELL, VB, 1Y http://www.pluscorp.com.au/Product.asp?CategoryID=147&Websit…

  Got my acer 5920G 5a2g25bn for the same price from officeworks a couple months back, which has pretty much the same specs except for Core 2 duo T5550 1.83ghz, geforce 8600m gs 256mb, and bluray combo drive. So this is an okay deal if you cant find any better.

    The poor $AUD versus $US has pushed units up in price. Example of then-and-now (then=couple of months ago)
