    Not a bad deal. COTD's Toshie i3 at $679 the other day with 320GB HDD is also strong, but $100 more for 500GB and i5 is definitely a good deal. Tosh makes a better product, but I'd still buy this one. Ya probably have to weeks to get the cashback, however.

    • tempco on 27/08/2010 - 15:14

      Forgot to mention that, yep salesperson said 2 weeks deadline for the cashback.

      • StewBalls on 27/08/2010 - 23:57

        Even that's no drama, it doesn't take long to register online, print out a form, snip a barcode & post the lot off! Easy $99 discount IYAM! ;)

  • ccrap on 27/08/2010 - 15:00

    monster specs for the price.. just heard the ad over the radio whilst reading this, so should be on at other harvey normans as well (depending on franchisee mood lol)

  • weezlebub on 27/08/2010 - 15:15

    yeah, devvo'd that i got the toshy, but you get that :)

  • Cripto on 27/08/2010 - 15:23

    Sweet price!

  • Sharp on 27/08/2010 - 16:16

    Bought one today. Stores seem to have plenty of stock (not like HN's previous 10" Acer emachine deal). Castle Hill had 90 Blacktown had 67 in stock today.

    • ccrap on 27/08/2010 - 18:07

      yup and looking at ingram micro (the suppliers) manifesto, this looks like an exclusive HN deal - i dont think we'll be able to find it anywhere else in aus for a true price comparo, but looking at other units today with similar spec they were around $500 more - possibly less diference elsewhere but havent been following i5 lappie prices so going by what I saw.

        Yes exclusive to HN. and yes comparable laptops are much more expensive

        I played with it first time tonight. I'm amazed with the quality. The material, finish etc excellent. Never expected this better quality from acer. No need to talk about its spec it's a killer.

          I see dozens of Acer laptops on a yearly basis; I can assure you they're as reliable as any other manufacturer; and a good deal better than certain others cough HP cough! :p

          Those who dismiss them out of hand are always vastly lacking in real-world experience! ;)

  • tinx on 27/08/2010 - 17:21

    any1 know what's the weight on this ?

    and battery cell ??

    • Sharp on 27/08/2010 - 19:11

      From memory 2.2kg 6 cells

      • tinx on 27/08/2010 - 23:44

        thx a lot!. any change you could try how long that battery last under normal use ?

  • coolndeep on 27/08/2010 - 18:12

    Does it have HDMI port?

    • Sharp on 27/08/2010 - 19:11

      Yes

  • kettch on 27/08/2010 - 22:11

    Just bought this, great deal.
    Did anyone find that the eject button on the DVD drive not that responsive? I had to press really hard and long on the little button before it would eject (software eject was fine). Want to know if I got a dud and exchange it.

    Cheers

    • Sharp on 27/08/2010 - 23:43

      Great deal but no positive vote?

      • ccrap on 28/08/2010 - 01:20

        he said great, not amazing :P

        btw do you two know what real life (or manufacturer quoted for that matter) battery life is like on this bad boy? im curious like tinx above. thx

  • kettch on 28/08/2010 - 01:23

    sorry, newbie, didn't know how to vote ~_~

  • gadgetguy on 28/08/2010 - 08:20

    Is this a better deal than the ASUS K52F-SX166V at Officeworks/Myer? That has a two year warranty.

  • Foma2 on 28/08/2010 - 10:08

    with this specs it looks like a good pc for videoediting.
    but with only one hdd it will struggle i guess.
    any thoughts ?

  • howhow43 on 28/08/2010 - 12:35

    Arrrrh, just ordered a MBP 2 days ago, this looks awesome and good price too

    more info:

    • HDD 500gb 5400 rpm
    • HDMI port
    • 4 hrs battery life
    • WXGA 1366 x 768 16:9 screen
    • ccrap on 28/08/2010 - 13:04

      thanks mate, wanted to know batt life.

      • StewBalls on 28/08/2010 - 13:32

        Just bear in mind, that laptop battery life is extremely variable; start working the cpu/gpu or spin up a drive for a while & watch that figure plummet, on any machine! ;)

        • kettch on 28/08/2010 - 13:44

          Just charged it overnight (~12hrs) and using it now, I think real world batt life is more like 2.5 - 3 hours. It started off with 2hrs 59mins when I just got into windows then started jumping around in time left while I was browsing with wireless on only.

        • tinx on 28/08/2010 - 20:50

          i know, that's just what HN put on the banner :)

          • StewBalls on 29/08/2010 - 00:36

            @tinx: One thing, it'll be based on the same benchmark that all the others would be…the system just sitting idling on powersave settings! Good enough for a baseline figure though! ;)

  • ITveteran on 28/08/2010 - 13:52

    I have checked this laptop in HN on Thursday night. I found 3 weak points for this one.
    1. the webcam is very slow despite good color. If you move in front of it, you can hardly see your self;
    2. speakers are too weak and lack of bass;
    3. hard drive is 5400 rpm, not a fast one.

    Besides this, it's a good oaptop with good price.

  • ITveteran on 28/08/2010 - 13:56

    HN also has HP dv6-3079tx, sales would do it at $1250. This one with i7-620QM, far better sound effect. But still n blu-ray.

    • StewBalls on 28/08/2010 - 14:49

      If someone gave me a HP laptop I'd give it straight back; they would have to be the most unreliable POS I've ever seen, backed by a near worthless warranty & support service from HP! You might as well just make any warranty claims straight to the ACCC or your local state dept of Fair Trading!!! :o

      We've got heaps of DV series units at work that HP are stalling on supplying new mobo's for, and our service agents tell me this little game they have been playing for years is still common practice for HP…I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy!!! :(

  • theguru1 on 29/08/2010 - 11:03

    Bluetooth?
    ESata?

    Checked today. No to both

    • gadgetguy on 02/09/2010 - 10:46

      Bummer, that's me out then.

  • surm on 29/08/2010 - 19:22

    Could someone tell me whether LCD the screen is "matte" or "glossy"?

    • littlemissbargain on 31/08/2010 - 20:01

      i think i read somewhere about crystal display, which means glossy - as most laptops are! :)

  • littlemissbargain on 31/08/2010 - 20:02

    can anyone find some of the online reviews for this laptop?
