Currently at Harvey Norman on special for $798 .. I wanted some advice on wether this laptop is worth it or not ? I'm looking for a new laptop under $1000 with decent specs .. I know the resolution is quite low on this laptop but can that be compromised

I was just looking for a new laptop with a keypad for a colleague and I stumbled upon this as well.
HN apparently sells this the cheapest at the moment - I think the price will increase in 1-3 days
What is your definition of "worth it"?
What will you be using this laptop for?
Key Features
15.6" HD 1366x768 LED LCD Screen - MEH
Intel Core i5 4288U Dual Core 2.6GHz (Max 3.1GHz) - Umm…OK
8GB RAM - OK
256GB Solid State Drive Storage - Great
1 x HDMI Input - OK
1 x USB 2.0 Port - this is the deal breaker for me
1 x USB 3.0 Port - this is the deal breaker for me
DVD Drive - OK
4 in 1 Card Reader - OK
Webcam - OK
Bluetooth V4.0 - OK
802.11 b/g/n Wireless - OK
Windows 10 Home - OK
Absence of Gigabit LAN and the laptop weighing 2.3kg are also the deal breakers for me.
If you want to get something from a brick & mortar store, this could be it.
This however is just a regular laptop (slightly heavy with full-sized keyboard), not the currently popular ultrabook (lightweight < 1.5 kg).
