Hey guys, JB Hi-Fi is offering Asus F551CA-SX079H from $598 down to $478 with a special voucher.

Is it a good deal for $478? I'm just after a laptop for uni and some IT programs (SQL, Java related for now)

Thanks

At 2.15kg with battery, its a reasonable size for a 15.6 inch laptop.

I find the battery life a bit average at 4 hours especially for those long days at uni.

Do you really want lug around a 15 inch laptop on campus though? I'd highly recommend getting 13 or 14 inch device, not only is it more portable but they tend to have a longer battery life.

MSY sells the Acer Travelmate P255-M-34014GG50MT for $549.

It's also a 15 inch laptop but has a Core i3-4010U Haswell CPU. Might be worth considering.

Other option is a Ivy Bridge i3 Lenovo E431 for $499.

Hi fisa2001,
Is there any chance you could forward me the discount e-mail to [email protected]?
It's just that I was planning to buy this laptop and wasn't on the mailing list?
You'd save me $120 if you could!
Thanks!!
