I came across this ultrabook while looking for something better but I thought this wasn't a bad deal. Ultrabook for less than $600 delivered, it's not flash but good enough for a teenager?
VAT get's taken off before you pay. ~ $595 using MasterCard rates.
CamelCamelCamel.
Full HD good, German language site not so gut.
chrome automatically translates, well it tries :)
Only if you let the scripts in :-) The drop-down for English isn't a flag, but marked "DE" for "Deutsch". Maybe a hint in the description "Click drop-down globe by "Mein Konto" for English", as it took me a short while to find it, and my German is adequate if not brilliant …
The specs on the page only mention 1 USB2 port, but notebook check also credits it with 2 USB3 ones, which I'd expect for a 2015 machine:

Wouldn't it be a German version of Windows 10?
ahh yes that might be an issue but you can have it delivered without OS for 30 euros cheaper.
Then again, it shouldn't be nearly as much of a stretch for a moderately savvy Younger or Maiden to navigate the machine to set the Austalianische locale compared to a pictographic languaged unit :-p
Shouldn't it ask for language/locale on first boot?
Yes and even if it doesn't…. very easy to change ;)
Will have a german keyboard layout !!!
Almost a non issue for touch typers, others might not have an enjoyable time though :P
That depends. I touch type, and switch between a German and English keyboard. The Z-Y swap and locating the @ symbol on the German keyboard is annoying.
You can buy sticker sets to over label the keys, or even swap out the keyboard for an English keyboard - though by the time you do that you've lost your saving from buying German in the first place.
The i3 processor is certainly fast enough with SSD.
What about the 12 month international warranty?
Shouldn't the German model number be U-571?
