I just bought this refurbished laptop for my wife. The specs are a little vague, but the salesperson on the phone confirmed i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 750GB HDD, dedicated GPU are all correct, as he had stock in front of him.

I also asked to confirm if it's indeed full HD (1920x1080), which he confirmed, saying "Yes it would be", although I am not 100% on this as fullHD isn't a given on laptops.

Even if this isn't full HD, it is still a great bargain. Comparable model around $699 (although I can't find the exact spec'd model, either variations in HDD or RAM sizes).

Shipping is $9.95 to Ryde, but I am not sure about other areas.

    Bottom Line
    The Acer Aspire V5 is a pretty sleek laptop at first glance. But don’t be fooled by its silky-smooth silver exterior – there’s not a whole lot going on inside this laptop. Sure, it’s got its strengths: the touchscreen is responsive and smooth, and video looks and sounds pretty good. But it’s got a heck of a lot more weaknesses, such as poor overall performance, lower-than-average battery life, a strangely loud fan, and a noticeably low screen resolution.

      Fair enough, although there are multiple variations under the V5 name. The one reviewed here doesn't have a dedicated GPU, where as this model for sale does.

    Display is WXGA which is 1366×768.

  • shaybisc on 15/10/2013 - 16:35

    I hate stores that do not give a detailed explanation of what refurbished means. Refurbished meaning ex-demo and refurbiahed meaning the packing box is dinged are two very different things.

    • edshays on 15/10/2013 - 16:39

      this store also sells 'damaged box' items, so this would mean that this particular model is not a damaged box.

      The damaged box ones tend to come with full manufacture warranty.

    I will never buy another laptop if it is not equipped with SSD. It hurts so much watching the system taking 30secs+ to boot up.

      SSD is pretty cheap to buy yourself and put into a laptop ?

    • killergreely on 15/10/2013 - 16:52

      That's why god gave us Standby. (and I'd rather have a robust drive with longevity than an SSD anyday)

      • homersyd on 15/10/2013 - 17:05

        but do standby consume much power tho?? I normally do "hibernate" on mine, it saves energy since it's actuall OFF, but it takes forever to start/shutdown… :(

  • Moots on 15/10/2013 - 16:40

    JW is such a overpriced business. They deal with computers and computer parts, but think people will pay $93 for 8GB DDR3 1600 ram? Your kidding yourself.

  • homersyd on 15/10/2013 - 16:41

    i think centrecom sells the same one (brand new) for around the same price….during their dusk to dawn sale

    I just bought this refurbished laptop for my wife.

    Seems like a fair trade.

  • win.robin on 15/10/2013 - 16:56

    "I just bought this refurbished laptop for my wife" I do like it

  • Temporary username on 15/10/2013 - 18:20

    I thinks with this price, you buy brand new from centrecom from 6 pm to 7 am everyday is much better.

    they usually put deal on acer from 6pm . you should get better than this price. I bought this http://www.centrecom.com.au/acer-aspire-v5-571p-33224g50mass… for only $399 on last Friday.

  • jackau on 15/10/2013 - 22:56
