Seems they have continued their "off" discounts, I grabbed ANOTHER of the Acer E5 with the I5 processor. Came down to $509 with "big90", not bad for a 5th gen I5 with the HD5500 graphics. Has 1 4GB module, has 2 slots so I upgraded to 8GB ($45 from MSY). You can also do clean Win8.1 install and get rid of the bloatware

^ that + average screen + having to upgrade RAM… and that the deal ends in 30 minutes anyway…
500gb hd 1368 pixels across
How about this one - http://www.dicksmith.com.au/laptops-notebooks/acer-aspire-e5… - only a 4th gen chip, but I7, 8gb ram, 1tb and dedicated graphics. Eligible for $99 cashback too making it $609. Worth the extra $100?
yeah cash back sweetens it …… paid for the i5 already and no cash back on 5th gen Intels :-(
There is not that much difference in CPU performance between your i5 and that i7. You also have AC wireless card. For a lot of people 4GB Ram is plenty, if you can wait a year price should get below $40 for upgrade.
I think you got a good deal with similar graphics power too.
How did you put extra ram in it mate? could you guide me a little :)
the screen resolution and hdd …
