Only $799 for a latest Corei7 ultraportable notebook, worth the spending, especially JBHiFi is selling it for $1198 (price match possibly, link: http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/computers-laptops/laptops/asu… ), here are the key features:
15.6" Screen
Intel Core i7-4500U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.00 GHz)
4GB RAM
1TB HDD
V2G Nvidia GeForce GT720M
1366 x 768 Resolution
1 x HDMI
1 x USB 2.0 Ports
1 x USB 3.0 Ports
DVD SuperMulti
Wi-Fi
Windows 8
well, I have a Toshiba P50T-A01C, it has 15.6" Full HD + touch screen, honestly, so far I rarely use the touch screen plus the Full-HD on a mere 15.6" screen is 'pain in the arse' to read. With this one, all you gotta do is replacing the hhd to ssd with another $150-$200 for a long battery life plus stable working computer on-the-go ;)

will probably void the warranty though…
It shouldn't
Only if you remove the screws and original hard drive with the "smashing" end of the hammer.
You could also swap out the ODD tray for a SSD bay, who uses disks anymore
I did this and placed my ODD tray into a caddy so it's a USB version now.
Makes such a huge difference.
not touchscreen?
just checking
no touchscreen but most people would rarely use the touchscreen on windows 8 computers though
I thought that was what win 8 was designed for.
To have that option, but mainly for tablets.
Using Win 8 without a touch screen is a horrible experience.
For me, using Win8 is a horrible experience full stop!
If I wanted a tablet looking based OS I would've just bought a tablet!
price back to $999?
Oh no…. missed a bargain…
if it had 8 or 16 gigs of ram I would buy it.
Profit margins on measly 1366x768 probably at 95% now.
