    He's right tho.. it might have a C2D but it's a netbook really, just cos of its size. Bit of an awkward machine really.. too small for a laptop and too powerful for a netbook. If i wanted a proper laptop I'd be getting one bigger than 11.6", that's for sure.. not sure there is a market for this.. too overpriced really.

      This is a stream of Ultraportable ULV laptop, for people who want mobility i.e not carry a heavy laptop around. Want size of a netbook but want to do more work than what a netbook can do.

      Normal laptop cannot last for 8+hrs.

    • virtual81 on 12/08/2010 - 14:39

      Agreed, however looks like it has propper Win7 (not starter) and 3 years warranty.
      I rekon it is very good value, but can't quite bring myself to call it a bargain.

      I might be bias against it as its price / form factor dont interest me.

      I'd like to see a $278 delivered Asus E1001P 6 cell again, thats what i'm after :P

          The N450 with the slightly higher res 1024x600 screen and 11 hour claimed battery life was the deal i sadly missed.

  • justtoreply on 12/08/2010 - 14:58

    Unfortunately I'd have to say it's not a great deal either. It's middle ground.

    Same thing, 4gb, 320gb hdd, better brand, free optical drive, $699pp http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?sort=2a…

    When the X320 was advertised in this forum, centrecom had it for $639 and samsung had a free additional power brick by redemption.

    I'd go with the X320, the optical/extra 2gb/brand are worth the price of post. Even now the price is up and you can't get the spare power brick.

    @ above post: There is a market for this. People who want battery life but something better than a single low speed core. Such machines are perfect for my tastes.

    I think its an ok deal. I wanted one of these last december for travel and doing a bit of gaming but ended up getting a toshiba NB200 instead. One of the reasons was the warrenty issue if I bought it from Amazon. This has a local 3 year warrenty. If I saw this last year, I would have bought it instantly.

      Go find me a 11" (dont care about 13" or 15") laptop with those specs for under 700. Sure this notebook might not appeal to you (it doesnt appeal to me either to be honest), but like someone up there said, there is a market out there for it, and for them it is a "bargain".

      • BenMHarvey on 12/08/2010 - 15:59

        Samsung N510 actually outperforms this laptop with a lower price point. The old ULV laptops are very outdated opt for a newer Atom + ION Power laptop and you've got a laptop that can do 1080p and can even play some games like MW

        I used to have one and that was used for GPU Accelerated Video/Photography editing. Even played WOW and i bought it for $600 from JB

        Theres newer Dual Core Atoms and ION2 graphics out there

        Hence my statement this laptop is not a bargain if anything its standard pricing but hey if you want dated technology for top dollar buy it

        • voter1 on 12/08/2010 - 17:08

          For gaming, yes ION platform beats it - but for just raw cpu crunching - this cpu wins hands down. Even beats the dual core atom which is actually a desktop cpu. Asus is just deliberately putting it in a laptop, obviously power draw is not going to be optimized. FYI the dual core atom runs at 8 watts. the su7300 runs at 10w but its more than 20% faster, so watt for watt it is better.

        • fellator on 12/08/2010 - 17:11

          cheapest i can find for the N510 is 750+shipping, however point taken. BUT I still think 1.3Ghz C2D> n280 1.66Ghz. Your points are valid, but that doesn't make this any less of a bargain.

          edit: Voter1, you lost me with those numbers there near the end xD

          • voter1 on 12/08/2010 - 17:24

            @fellator: ha - for laptops these days, performance should be measured for every watt of power consumed.
            su7300 eats 10w scores around 900+ on cpumark
            dual core atom d330 eats 8w and scores 600+.

            approx 33% improvement for 20% increase in power. :)
            this cpu i believe is still the best low power cpu that is enough for everyday tasks. the i7 ULV cpu's are about to be released soon though (but probably not at such a low price yet)

            • scotty on 12/08/2010 - 21:03

              @voter1: The i5 ULVs are already out there. Only if these are at this price…

  • StewBalls on 12/08/2010 - 15:11

    Ok, the point that always gets missed on OzB is this:
    Is the price being offered for product "A" a substantial discount over normal street price for product "A"?
    NOT, is product "B" better, worse or cheaper…that is irrelevant!

    Now, cheapest for this model, in Australia, on Staticice seems to be ~$1037; therefore this represents approximately $300 saved for this product, that's 30%; kinda seems ok to me as bargains go! However, it's up to everyone to make up their own mind! ;)

    • [Deactivated] on 12/08/2010 - 15:42

      I disagree.

      This would make any of the range of models that the likes of Officeworks have that only they carry a bargain any time they had a minor special or clearance. Comparing it to equivalents is an important option.

      I've voted positive on this deal because I can't find a decent equivalent of greater value, not because this is the cheapest this specific model is (the closest I could find being the Asus UL30A).

      That said, I'd call it a netbook. Low weight, no optical, small, not useful for much more than internet & word processing (SU7300 may be C2D, but it's not much more powerful than a Celeron M 900MHz).

      EDIT Hah, after posting that I've found this Samsung 13.3" SU7300 4GB 320GB for $699. Probably slighty worse battery life and won't have the 3 year warranty, but I'd consider everything else advantageous.

            im no champion of that cpubenchmark site as I do think it is very synthetic orientated but I think its the largest database of cpu scores from over all generations and is user submitted and aggregated a bit like metacritic/rotten tomatoes. Each cpu score should compare ok relative to another cpu on that same list.

      • Advv on 12/08/2010 - 22:39

        I bought the Samsung you're talking about. I returned it after 4 days. Some kind of disk error. I got a refund. From using the Samsung in those four days, I realised 13.3" is too big for me (wasn't very portable). Battery life was probably 5-6 hours (6 at most).

        But yeah, I value the portability of 11.6" over the extra 2gb (which I would rarely use) and the extra 70gb of HDD. The USB ports of the samsung are only on the right side too, which was quite silly as the USB receiver for wireless mice can be quite long and would annoy right handed users (such as myself). And the overall design of the samsung felt a bit tacky and ugly to me compared to the acer laptop.

  • tonyjzx on 12/08/2010 - 15:18

  • peter05 on 12/08/2010 - 15:31

    this is a fantastic unit and those comparing with 'standard' laptops are misguided as to where this is positioned in the market, ie the comparison to the samsung earlier, that one is already 400g + heavier, works out to be a good 30-40% increase in weight on this particular machine. and that ULV series is NOT an atom, it is significantly faster, although its getting a little on the old side now

      And to think just a few years ago, a proper laptop (before netbooks) got more expensive as they got smaller and lighter.

      People need to also look at warranty (as well as the fact that it is NOT a netbook), it is really worth quite a bit. dell charges a lot of money for their extended warranty from 1 year to 3. ASUS extended warranty from 2 year to 3 costs around $99.

    I also imported one of these last year, and it's a brilliant laptop. The battery lasts for 6 hours or more when watching movies on it, the processor's fast and I think it's a good size for someone wanting portability but still with decent performance. I also think $700 is a good price, more than I paid last year but like zettabyte points out, it's got a 3 year local warranty, so thumbs up from me

  • Advv on 12/08/2010 - 18:11

    Also, you can claim this on the high school/primary school tax scheme (you get 50% of the price back). Not sure if you can do that if you import one. Of course, imported laptops would be cheaper but importing means hassles, longer waiting time (weeks!), import duties (if over $1000), sometimes warranty issues and the risk of the company not sending you the correct model (much harder to transfer back to them and then have them send you out a new one). Just wanted to point out a few things about importing that people may overlook.

        Hi Z-Rep.

        I have the 1080TZ which was purchased from Clive Peeters for $560. (Some bizarre eco-blues sale that seemed to be going on and their whole computer dept was emptied a few months back.)

        I'm impressed with this unit on a number of fronts. My question is, in simple terms, are you aware of the difference between the unit you are selling (1080T) and the 1080TZ model?

        And the model you are selling is definitely the 1080T?
