Asus Refurbished

  1. Full 1 Year warranty.

  2. Refurbished from Asus.

  3. Near new, may have slight blemishes, in full working order.

The Laptops have been fully refurbished by Asus to the highest possible standards. They are NOT refurbished by a third party. They have been resealed with the manufacturers sticker.
The laptops are in full working order and carry a full 1Year Asus warranty.
As they are refurbished stock, there may be very minor surface marks on them and we have inspected several units and they look like new. These refurbished Notebook are re-packaged into brand new packaging (with a serial number and factory seal) , but the contents inside are in the highest possible condition.

    how's the battery life on them?

    • deanylev on 20/04/2016 - 10:53

      Website says 12 hours, it's got a very efficient processor, so not impossible I guess.

      • siuol on 20/04/2016 - 10:58

        Out of 12hrs of battery life, 10 hours will be spent on loading

      • battler on 20/04/2016 - 10:59

        12 hours after refurb? i didn't see that on seller's site… will have another look.

        • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 11:21

          Factory refurbished units often have new batteries.

        • battler on 20/04/2016 - 11:37

          @KentT:
          agree, but hoping that OP can confirm.
          replacement batteries look expensive.

        • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 11:44

          @battler:
          I keep mine in the car, and park outside 9-5 every day. In a WA summer, that's pretty bad conditions for a battery. I've had it about 6 months with no discernible loss of battery capacity. It's good quality.

          I wouldn't even think about replacing batteries in something this cheap.

  • [Deactivated] on 20/04/2016 - 10:52

    This site says 12 hours!
    http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/asus-eeebook-x205ta

    that sounds great. Anyone used one of these? I'm tempted!

    • deanylev on 20/04/2016 - 10:54

      Can't go wrong for the price, provided it's a simple web browsing / video watching machine :)

    • samlor on 20/04/2016 - 11:02

      Don't know about refurb but love mine bought new 10 months ago. Really light and long battery life. Speedy enough for ordinary Internet browsing, email and standard office tasks. More comments can be found by searching OzBargain and at

      • Grok on 20/04/2016 - 11:13

        What are the viewing angles like on the screen?

        • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 11:25

          Viewing angles are fairly terrible. TN not IPS.

          Battery life really is great.

          It's a bit slow to start up from cold - and because it's completely silent you're often not sure you pushed the power button properly. It takes a few seconds before the backlight comes on.

          ETA: Windows 10 works fine on it, no driver issues. It has a "Free Windows 10 upgrade" sticker on the box.

          The blueish finish is quite stylish, but I swear it soaks up fingerprints even if you just hover your hand near it.

        • Grok on 20/04/2016 - 11:29

          @KentT:
          Thanks, not all TN panels are bad.

          Apparently the MacBook Air has a TN panel but a good one.

        • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 11:33

          @SamR:
          That might just be my impression of it.

          It's been quite a few years since I've used anything but IPS. You get spoiled with phones and tablets.

          ETA:
          Nope, it's terrible.

    god damn if only this was a convertible id bite

    • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 11:25

      It's not even touch screen.

      • llama on 20/04/2016 - 19:54

        And it cannot make phone calls, nor print.

        HELLLOOOOOOooooo…. It's a $179 LAPTOP.

        • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 21:53

          Yes. I know. I own one.

          I'm just saying it wouldn't be super useful when converted.

        • llama on 20/04/2016 - 22:02

          @KentT:

          Super useful when converted to what?

          (and sorry, I think I originally missed the underlying meaning of your earlier post).

        • KentT on 20/04/2016 - 23:36

          @llama:
          Convertible as in.. remove the keyboard and use it as a tablet.

          Tablets are much less useful without touch screen.

  • jamesvtre on 20/04/2016 - 10:58

    any one know a good 15 inch laptop that has a good keyboard for typing, good battery life, slim as possible not bulky, brand doesn't matter much more about performance and looks sleek. i want it to be preinstalled with windows 10. budget about $300-500.

    • battler on 20/04/2016 - 11:00

      15 inch, non-bulky, $300-500
      choose 2

      • jamesvtre on 20/04/2016 - 11:13

        15 inch non bulky

        • xyron on 20/04/2016 - 11:20

          dell XPS 15.

        • jamesvtre on 20/04/2016 - 12:29

          @xyron: That is a good laptop but that is way out of my budget of $300-500.

          @jamesvre:
          Which is why battler said pick your priorities.
          There are no non-bulky 15in laptops in your budget.
          You might get a 13/14in in a non-bulky size around $700.
          If you can handle a 2.5kg big 15in then they can be had at $500.

        • jamesvtre on 20/04/2016 - 12:46

          @mskeggs: ok i can handle a 2.5kg 15in, any brand you can recommend. I will only use it for study so i want the keyboard to be good.

        • mskeggs on 20/04/2016 - 12:51

          @jamesvre:
          I would take a look at JB or Harvey Norman to find some examples with keyboards you like. It is hard to recommend a keboard for somebody as they are so subjective.

        • llama on 20/04/2016 - 19:59

          @jamesvre:

          I will only use it for study so i want the keyboard to be good.

          There is NO "good laptop keyboard" especially at your price point. That's because they are laptop keyboards, and they are never any good to type on.

          It's not hard… If you want to spend $300-500 on a laptop and you want the keyboard to be good, then just go and buy a good keyboard.

  • RideCurbs on 20/04/2016 - 11:02

    In the checkout, only shipping option is "Pickup from store $0"

    However in the product title is the wording Free Shipping

    Went ahead with the order and put a note that I request it is shipped to my address, hopefully this comes through to me.

  • search on 20/04/2016 - 11:38

    What is the go with delivery rep? Says free delivery in product description "Asus X205TA-BING-FD015BS Intel Quad-Core Z3735F/2GB/32GB/11.6"/Windows 8.1RefurbishedFree Shipping"

    My other question is regarding warranty? How does that work? Would I need to call some number or bring it back to store or there is support centres in all capital cities?

    • Major Mess on 20/04/2016 - 14:17

      Asus have their own repair centre in Sydney, not sure about any other city. It is up to you. If you want to send it back to retailer or direct to Asus. They have to pay the return postage, but you may have to pay to send.

    • Store Reproycheung @ Centralfield Technology on 20/04/2016 - 14:29

      delivery is via Courier or Australia Post, it's 1 year Asus warranty, they provide free pick up and return within warranty period. just simply call Asus service centre. Asus alos got service centre in some Capital cities, please check Asus website.

  • mskeggs on 20/04/2016 - 12:35

    So this is really the spiritual successor to the old AspireOne netbook, I think. Small screen, good portability, good battery, but slow performance, poor storage size.
    Would be good to take out occasionally if your main machine is a desktop and you once in a while need to type a doc or browse the web on the road/in a meeting.

    • Major Mess on 20/04/2016 - 14:18

      I think you mean , eee pc - they were first.

  • inrockweareone on 28/04/2016 - 15:49

    Any office 365 with this?

    • Store Reproycheung @ Centralfield Technology on 28/04/2016 - 16:16

      sorry, don't include the office 365.

  • Store Reproycheung @ Centralfield Technology on 28/04/2016 - 16:16

    sorry, don't include the office 365.

    • inrockweareone on 28/04/2016 - 16:25

      What about the battery? Is this new battery?
