$100off

UPDATE 8-Feb-2012: Since I originally posted this, Online Computer Store has graciously extended this special by posting a special coupon code "$100off" below and if you add "ozbargain S3" to the order comments they'll also include a FREE white and pink Fuji Xerox laser printer - please see OLC's comments below. I now wish I'd ordered from them instead of price matching at Office Works as OLC will price match them back. Thanks OLC!!!

I thought I'd share this deal I got on an Acer Aspire S3 13.3" Core i3 Ultrabook for my wife for Valentine's day. It's retailing at Office Works for $847 but I found it at Online Computer store for just under $700 (normally $768 but they are having a 10% off, 48 hour deal). I printed out the product page at Online Computer and Office Works happily price matched it + extra 5% bringing it to just under $664. My wife is very happy with it.

Acer Aspire S3-951-2364G34:
Intel Core i3-2367M processor (1.4 GHz)
13.3" HD 1366 x 768 screen, Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 128 MB of dedicated system memory
4GB DDR3 RAM / 20GB SSD + 320GB HDD
Wireless N / Bluetooth
HDMI 1080p / 2x USB ports / SD/MMC card reader / 3.5mm audio out
Win 7 Home Premium / MS Office Starter
3 cell battery
1 year warranty

It is incredibly skinny at 13mm, has very long battery life despite being only 3 cell (in one review it lasted more than 3 1/2 hours under extreme load test) and the SSD makes it very responsive when going to sleep and waking up. Note, there is no wired ethernet, no VGA out (HDMI only) and no optical drive.

    Thanks.

        ROFL sexist!

  • nuggetbro on 07/02/2012 - 15:43

    That is starting to get to the price they should be sold at.

  • MadMaxBargainRoad on 07/02/2012 - 15:46

    Keep in mind that the 20G SSD is not accessable by user but by windows only.

  • scrimshaw on 07/02/2012 - 15:49

    Meanwhile, AMD aims to undercut Intel Ultrabook notebooks with Ultrathins (cue sanitary napkin joke).

    If anything, I'd probably wait until AMD comes out with their own before buying.

    • Forgot69 on 07/02/2012 - 16:22

      And then wait another 3 weeks for Intel to undercut them again? If you come across a good tech deal, just buy it there and then. In 3 weeks there's always a better deal. Such are the struggles of being an early adopter and an OzBargainer ;)

      [EDIT] P.S. Great first post Zimble! :)

  • prosserd on 07/02/2012 - 16:32

    Nice price - I am in the market for two ultrabooks.
    Think I'll wait for Windows 8 (or the free Win8 upgrade voucher)
    I also prefer an SSD drive and the 1600x900 res that the new models are all coming out with.
    Think I'll wait for a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga.

    Good deal at the moment though so +1

    • Zimmer on 08/02/2012 - 00:09

      good memory on the microsoft upgrade vouchers.

      I also want at least 1600x900 resolution

  • xyron on 07/02/2012 - 16:44

    great price, just a shame about the terrible battery. why make an ultrabook then cripple it like that? 6-cell minimum should be a requirement set by intel for these.

    • diddy50 on 07/02/2012 - 17:10

      weight perhaps?

      they are meant to be light, but a 6-cell might be too heavy?

    • ThePistonHead on 07/02/2012 - 17:24

      weight and thickness. Even the MBA has poor battery life because of its form factor. Going to need an improvement in battery technology industry wide - nothing bar underclocking the CPU and other software mods that sets manufactures apart.

        and yet Asus did a good job?

  • PlayerOne on 07/02/2012 - 17:41

    This is a great price.

    Shame I bought the U31F from computeralliance for $499 otherwise i'd be all over this.

    • ThePistonHead on 07/02/2012 - 18:24

      Relevant display picture.

    • AG_ACT on 09/02/2012 - 14:28

      Can you please share details?
      EDIT: sorry, just noticed that you may have got the 480M - I was after the 2410M or something from the second generation

  • MrMaxwell on 07/02/2012 - 18:17

    Now we are talking…all ultrabooks should be around this price.

    They just saw the margin Apple are making on MBA and took $100 off. Fail.

  • team teri on 07/02/2012 - 18:26

    For those who want a bit more speed (i5 and 256GB SSD):
    http://www.onlinecomputer.com.au/product_info.php?products_i…
    after the same 10% off for 48 hours it comes to $1092.77 + shipping.

    In addition they mention a $99 cashback, but the exact model number is not in the official list by Acer, so don't bank on that. For me that $99 difference is make or break on that deal. Waiting for clarification on this issue.

  • ksirc on 07/02/2012 - 19:23

    Great price! Please post the receipt when you get the chance as I can't seem to find this deal from OnlineComputer anymore… :(

  • Reiji Arisu on 07/02/2012 - 19:49

    The price has increased again

    • PlayerOne on 07/02/2012 - 19:58

      Up to $799 now.

    • batsxs on 09/02/2012 - 08:53

      r u kidding? this one is 400 extra…and I can buy 2 more netbooks :q

  • andyken on 08/02/2012 - 10:40

    Hi Zimble, any chance you could upload of the receipt from officework? since the onlinecomputer has increased the price :(

  • h0mbre on 08/02/2012 - 11:20

    Good price, I bought one for the missus from DSE for $780 with a free sleeve last week when they had 20% off.
    Tried to match at JB but they couldn't do it at 3 different JB's, wonder if anyone had any luck matching a price $80 lower lol

      Hi baz123

      To be honest i hate OW :p

      If you want to get another Acer S3, bring the invoice to our shop we can beat by 5% for Acer S3 Ultrabook.

      Thanks

      • AG_ACT on 09/02/2012 - 14:38

        Does that mean that you are offering it for $664 if we don't want the printer, or do we have to do the running around to get a quote from officeworks first?

  • test123123 on 09/02/2012 - 08:14

    Wonder what is the best price onlinecomputer can do with OW price match plus I do not want the laser printer

  • nadan on 09/02/2012 - 10:07

    With the 20% off at the GGs today, you can pick up this laptop for $677 as their advertised price is $847.

    • PlayerOne on 09/02/2012 - 12:23

      Called GGs. No discount, still $847.

      • nadan on 09/02/2012 - 13:10

        Did you mention the 20% discount they are offering today? This one here http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/63209

        • AG_ACT on 09/02/2012 - 14:27

          It doesn't apply to things that are already on special…. I was going to get a ASUS U31 from them, they had it listed for $699, they offered $687….

  • nadan on 09/02/2012 - 15:40

    But this machine is not on special.

    • PlayerOne on 09/02/2012 - 17:39

      http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/bankstown/ContentDisplayView?emsName=GEN_GenericPage7_Main&cm_sp=homepage--takeover--febbonus

      It says up to 15% off computers. Could even be no discount with that wording.

  • ultraskool on 09/02/2012 - 20:11

    For the price I bought this laptop I'm using now ( purchased this Dell Studio 1555 in February 2010 and it costed me $1200 ! I can't believe that I can get 2 laptops/ with better specs and processor 2nd gen. for that price! But now what can I do. with this old laptop? No-one will want to buy it and you can't upgrade. Oh Bother!

  • AG_ACT on 09/02/2012 - 21:21

    Thanks to this post, I have an ultrabook :) This rocks

  • T1OOO on 13/02/2012 - 10:39

    the cpu is too slow, not a full ssd, this dosnt really look appealing at all….
