I've been searching for an ultrabook for a while, and whilst I went with a different one I couldn't ignore this great deal. Hell of a lot for your money, long battery life, pretty much everything you want. Only two downsides I found in my searching - no thunderbolt 3, and a slightly limited hinge range (can't extend fully down). Everything else that you'd want is there.

  • Great price and great laptop
    Am looking at upgrading the ssd to 512 gig ssd however, It is a solid spec for a zenbook sub 1k.

  • $899.99 AUD Delivered

    The exchange rate for $718.34 USD to $899.99 AUD is unrealistic, even with no fee credit card at best exchange rate.

    • It's based on the mastercard rate. 0.798c. That's what I paid yesterday. No fees with bankwest platinum or a 28 degrees card

      • and also anz reward adventure

      • Mastercard rate is 0.793¢ at the moment.

        • +1

          fair enough, when i wrote it up and bought yesterday it was slightly higher. Only about $4 AUD difference in the end

    • It's showing me $934.21 AUD, that's nearly $35 difference.

    • I get around $901.

    Not bad
    This vs the Acer? Lol

  • +1

    Decent price with decent specs.

    Who remembers the old days of 2007 where laptops had fingerprint readers that you had to swipe and had real issues with accuracy hahahah

    • +1

      those fingerprint readers were less than useless!! I hated them - they just made the laptop look ugly while giving false hope of a faster login… pity the fool who tried to use it!

      • Thank God technology has come to the rescue both in phones and now back into the laptops

  • Graphics?

    • I believe this model has the Intel HD620

    • +2

      Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 chip offers mainstream performance that's good enough for watching videos, porn and casual gaming. However, as always, serious gamers or creative pros will want a system with a discrete GPU.

      • Mainstream performance sounds not right…

        • Depends on your definition of the mainstream performance use case of this ultrabook.

          My def is:
          Browse the web
          Watch YouTube/Netflix
          Listen to Spotify
          Read and write emails
          Open Word and Excel docs
          Wants a thin and light laptop with all day battery life

  • why mentioned thunderbolt? No one's gonna use them but Apple, and it's gonna be like Firewire

      List of Thunderbolt-compatible devices.

    • +4

      Nah you might be thinking of thunderbolt 1 and 2 which is in a minidisplay port and almost exclusively apple.

      Thunderbolt 3 is the same port as USB-C and is very, very useful.

      Pretty much everything goes out thunderbolt 3 - hdmi, vga, displayport, 4K @ 60fps ethernet, usb hubs, external hdds, etc., etc.,

      It's very handy if you have like a workstation hub, say with dual monitors, ethernet, keyboard, mouse etc all hooked up. You'd simply bring your thunderbolt device in, plug in the 1 thunderbolt port and you're connected to the entire workstation/network.

    • asus are putting 3.1 Cs in to the slim profile notebooks and everything not ROG,
      The tb get put on to the rog notebooks

      If you can help it, buy Australian revision because they are usually the final releases

  • We need to pay import tax of any product now, am I right?

    • No. This legislation was delayed until next year.

      • +2

        Thankfully, I hope they never bring it in, it's going to cause so many problems.

  • +1

    No, import duty/GST is currently not applicable if below AUD $1000 invoice value incl shipping. But beware… If you add accessories or combine shipping of other items it might bring the total up and trigger a tax hit.

    • What if the other items come in a separate order? Will they add up at customs?

      • The oldest trick in the book! If you were customs, you would have some intel at hand wouldnt you?
        If they are ordered close together, dont expect to avoid consolidation. Especially if one supplier. How far apart should they be ordered? I have no idea. Give it a go and let us know!

    Was looking at this on MSY for $1379 so this is great! So bad I don't have the dough right now :(

    • Ah seems like the major difference is MSY stock the i7 version. I wonder if an i7 on this laptop is worth the extra $400..?

      • +2

        seems to be a 10-15% difference in performance between the i5 and the i7. IMO not worth it for that huge increase in price

      • only if you want to play games

  • Anyone have this laptop? How would it be for programming and uni work aswell as connecting it to an external monitor whilst at home?

    • use the type c 3.1 with a display dock.
      you want 2 monitors. a 13inch is too small

      you can go out through mhdmi and the type c.

  • the 102s have an i7

  • Anyone have a ballpark figure for how long this would take to arrive? Sydney Metro, TIA

    • +1

      5-10 days usually via amazon. they're pretty good

      • Thanks, and thanks for alerting me to this deal. Actually I ordered Thur evening with DHL (just in case), PC arrived here to me in the countryside at 9am this morning (?!). That's…. one business day?

        Fan is NOISY ("brrrrrrr" buzzing sound) but hopefully just new PC cobwebs and not actual damage.

        Packaging left a lot to be desired - two pieces of scrunched up brown paper were all that was in the box besides the ASUS box, and the ASUS box could freely move around. Arrived with a big dent in the ASUS box and one of the corners crushed.

        If this is the standard of Amazon packaging then Australian retailers have nothing to fear.

  • Not sure why it's listed as expired, it's still available?
