Not really a good deal for a 1st generation i5 especially since you can get a 2nd gen i5 (with better specs overall) for an additional $100:

There are also 2nd i3's with dedicated graphics floating around going for ~$600.
If you want to go off the same price, this machine from office-works beats it by miles in regards to graphics power, weight, 4usb ports, lightscribe and esata not to mention it's much more modifiable i.e. can replace keyboard to back-lit, can fit 1TB 12.5mm drives, can change LCD to 1080p, etc etc.
Edit: Also, you should factor in postage considering most people don't live in Vic :) making the ASUS unit around $830 or so
