This popular ultrabook just got an upgrade to an 8th gen chip, which are now quad core rather than dual core.
Make sure to avoid Amazon's bad currency conversion rates and pay directly in USD with a fee free card such as 28 degrees or Bankwest Zero as it is over the $1000 GST-free threshold if you let Amazon do the converting. As of posting this deal, mastercard rates put it at ~$986.30.
Would be interested to see the comparison to the 7th gen beyond processor, if battery life has improved, fan issue addressed etc.
