      Seriously? Why are there always noobs who cry about the resolution on these posts?

      It's $360. Find a laptop with a FHD screen for that price.

        keep up the low expectations. The deals will keep getting better for us

      • nfr on 25/11/2014 - 19:06

        I paid the same price for an equivalently low spec Acer 2 years ago, so I don't find the price exciting. Anyway I understand people have different expectations so I'm tolerant enough to not neg this deal.

      1366 x 768 is still standard resolution on most laptops. FHD+ resolutions are still a premium.

      There is also a difference between the viewing distances between laptops and tablets.

    Holy crap I read that as $360 for delivery alone…

    For $329 and 9.5hr battery, you really can't go wrong for school / uni etc.

      Yea, brilliant Xmas present for a school kid I reckon.

    • astarman on 25/11/2014 - 16:29

      Too heavy for uni

        2.1kg is pretty light all things considered. It's no ultrabook sure, but it's not a 4kg monster either.

      • Gdsamp on 25/11/2014 - 18:36

        Lighter than a 13" non-retina MacBook Pro.
        15.6" screen might be bulky though, give you that.

    • Shonky on 25/11/2014 - 16:40

      I find it hard to believe that 32Wh battery = 9.5 hours of very much at all.

      Thanks for putting these up. You beat me to it.

  • GreyGargoyle on 25/11/2014 - 15:19

    I've been wanting a cheap laptop for use around the home and while traveling, this might fit the bill I think!

  • mskram on 25/11/2014 - 15:19

    Is it dual band wifi? Not great for school if it isn't, needs 5ghz to connect to the det proxy.
    I thought it had to be 802.11 a/n to connect to 5ghz. Though I haven't read about 802.11 ac, is that 5ghz?

    • bashar20 on 25/11/2014 - 15:22

      AC runs on 5ghz only. and it will be backward compatible with G and N. 2.4 and 5ghz

    Buying a no name notebook is just asking for trouble.

    Amazing this CPU does seem to have Intel® Quick Sync Video, but no AES in hardware.

    Webcam 0.3MP, how much do you think they saved on not being HD, 50 cents?

    • Make it so on 25/11/2014 - 15:43

      I have come across a lot of problems lately with branded laptops. It seems they are getting cheaper by compromising on quality control. For $360 delivered, it can't be much worse value-for-money.
      Given that it has AC WiFi, USB3, HDMI, and is light-weight, I think it's not bad at all.
      Maybe put in a cheap ~$110 SSD and it will fly.

      • scrimshaw on 25/11/2014 - 16:13

        A branded laptop going for under $400 will have compromises in build quality too.

        Even mainstream laptops built by HP / Dell / BrandX nowadays are not built to last, they will cut corners here and there to maximise profit, even cheaping out on soldering which will down the road develop issues after prolonged exposure to heat.

        I have to wonder which company produced this laptop, Scotty reckons it could be a Clevo but my bet it's some unknown third party.

        • Make it so on 25/11/2014 - 16:49

          I have been doing some picture comparisons, and would have to agree with Scotty. Either that, or Clevo should sue Kogan, because the design is completely identical. If it's a Clevo, that's great.

        • scrimshaw on 25/11/2014 - 16:55

          Kogan don't produce or design anything, they custom order from OEM's and slap their logo on it and call it a day.

  • wisc on 25/11/2014 - 15:48

    touch screen would be nice but for 330 cant have everything!

  • bargainist on 25/11/2014 - 15:48

    I wouldn't jump to this straight away until we have some reviews or at least a video showing it running. Kogan brand products are pretty abysmal.

    Presale. Leaves warehouse on 22 Dec
    This item is expected to leave the warehouse (ship) on Dec. 22, 2014. When it is shipped, you will be notified by email. After your item is shipped, please allow another 3-5 business days for metro delivery or 4-7 days for regional areas.

    Might be disappointing if wanting for a Christmas gift maybe print the shipping confirmation. sure the kids wouldn't mind.

  • ProjectZero on 25/11/2014 - 15:54

    The only thing that would make this a no go for me is the CPU… I usually go for i3 minimum, but having said that… you'd never find a i3 laptop for $330.

    • fandibong on 25/11/2014 - 17:31

      Thats true. But I believe we can find non i3 branded laptop at this price. Not really a deal in my eyes seeing it's Kogan brand.

    • ProjectZero on 25/11/2014 - 18:02

      Not too sure how reliable CPUboss is, but judging from their bench… it's still weaker then an i3.

      http://cpuboss.com/cpu/Intel-Pentium-N3540

      • scrimshaw on 25/11/2014 - 18:06

        All atoms are weaker than i3, but it's actually powerful enough to playback 1080p and even some older 2007 era games

        • ProjectZero on 26/11/2014 - 08:36

          Going by the no. of cores and threads, I just kind of expected a true 4 core would have been able to match a 4 thread CPU.

          Then again, you have to take other factors such as architecture into consideration.

        • Make it so on 26/11/2014 - 16:08

          @ProjectZero:

          I just kind of expected a true 4 core would have been able to match a 4 thread CPU.

          You should probably not assume the benchmarks to reflect this. Benchmarks focus much on per-core performance, not "total number crunching ability".

    I am so incredibly disappointed.

    We purchased 3 laptops this year from Kogan. These items were due to leave the warehouse on December 15th but of course this did not happen. Tragically, all 3 are Christmas presents for 9 and 10 year olds. In 10 years of being a dad I have never had to explain to 1 let alone all 3 of my children that their Christmas present would not be arriving until "some time in the future".

    By the 18th of December, aware that time was getting tight I rang the Kogan phone number and spoke to a real person, believing that I may have found a person that not only genuinely cared but was capable of solving the problem. Twice on this phone call I was told "rest assured, your items will be delivered before Christmas. Of course I informed the lady that had Kogan simply emailed me to say "that although the item was supposed to ship on the 15th , they had been delayed and Kogan was aware of the delay and was still delivering prior to Christmas", then I would indeed be resting assured but failure to manage the situation had me concerned. The end of the call had me expecting a supervisor to ring me. Of course, this was yet another broken promise from Kogan. The next day, another phone call, more assurances and another promise to call. YET MORE KOGAN BROKEN PROMISES. Kogan have since sent a manifest of the delivery to Australia Post. Of course, Australia Post have a manifest but not the actual item.

    Kogan, of course also failed to highlight that the item is not in Australia, unlike the other items i have purchased from Kogan.com.au. I believe it may be shipping from Hong Kong but Kogan do not seem to be communicating much of this at all.

    There is no email to disappointed purchasers of the pre-ordered laptops. There are no returned phone calls. There are no deliveries expected to arrive. There are no notices to be found on the Kogan website.

    Apparently Kogan had to issue an apology in 2011 for the exact same thing. Everyone got a $25 voucher and some seemed to accept it as just another effect of a busy Holiday Period like the apology had made out. Well this year, the same will not fly. Kogan cannot say it was an unexpected rush as they have experienced it before. They cannot blame couriers as the items did not ship. They cannot blame demand as they sold out and then re listed the item after a day or two. This would have to suggest they had overcome a supply issue and it was not simply a money grab for more items they had no intention of delivering within the expected timeframes.

    Really, the real problem is one of respect for a client base, and the communication systems in place to work with those clients. Of course things go wrong, of course Christmas is busy. But false promises and broken promises cannot be mended by a fake apology afterwards. That fake apology was the ghost of Christmas past. I am now looking to see how Kogan.com.au intends to overcome client dissatisfaction this time.

    Please Kogan, do respond as having previously requested to speak to a manager, or to a supervisor and having requested an email or a call back have not worked at all.

    Any official complaint should start with a documented effort to work with the provider to let them know there is a problem and request a solution. I am once again doing this but at least with this post I now have evidence of my complaint. Hopefully Kogan recorded each of my calls, but they definitely have each of their communications and the website listing which shows that the item will ship on the 15th of December. Of course they will have a copy of my almost hourly emails to try and sell me stuff and no copies of communications to explain how they are solving the problem.
    Now is the time to see each of the TECH website that reviewed and promoted this item stand up and show Kogan it is not good enough. Unless they are paid for comment.
