Have been looking for a friend and found this deal from onlinecomputer.com.au - think it's pretty great.
Cheapest I can find for the same model on Static Ice is $1039:

    May not be the best Ultrabook but I have an Acer Timeline X - very similar specs minus the SSD and it's a beast at around the same price, so a good bargain methinks…

  • Click_It on 11/03/2012 - 17:47

    It seems to do reasonable but not great in the reviews when compared to the other contenders in the ultra portable race. The price seems alright but if I were buying an ultra portable I'd probably save up for a better brand. That's just my thoughts based on sour experience with Acer in the past, I'm sure they've upped their game since then…

    • AncientWisdom on 12/03/2012 - 04:23

      Yes I'm not a huge fan of Acer but my mate's on a tight badget… When i found this i was quite surprised, hard to say it's not good value.
      Like someone else said, it's at least another $300 for a competitors ultra book (albeit better).

    There are definitely better ultrabooks available, but this certainly beats all the other contenders in terms of price. So unless you are willing to spend $300+ more for a different brand/model, then this looks like a very good deal.

    Hope he isn't planning on gaming with a HD3000

    • AncientWisdom on 12/03/2012 - 04:25

      No it's for music production on the go, i think it will do the job. Hard to find good gaming laptops that are also portable and haven't seen any ultra books that would be ok for even mild gaming.

  • heyrosered on 11/03/2012 - 19:05

    no usb 3.0 and only a 3-cell battery, i think this would date quite quickly and probably wouldn't last too long without charge either.

  • njninjar on 11/03/2012 - 21:27

    "HDMI 1080p"
    …
    "Display 13.3" HD 1366 x 768 resolution"

    Taken from site.

      I assume you don't know what an HDMI port is for?

  • MrMaxwell on 11/03/2012 - 21:31

    The 3-cell battery is the main let down of this ultrabook…reviews rate it at 3-4hrs max.

    If I was going to get this I'd aim for the i3 model that has been priced at $599-$699 in past deals.

  • blitz on 11/03/2012 - 21:43

    I hear the HP Folio 13 is pretty good. I was thinking either that or an Asus Zenbook. Now I can't decide between these three.

      If you have the money go for the zen book it's great (see my previous post for a pretty decent price).

    same thing to happen here?

    • AncientWisdom on 12/03/2012 - 04:27

      Wouldn't hold my breath.. ;-)

  • AncientWisdom on 12/03/2012 - 04:28

    Lol just realised that it sounds like i was looking for a friend…

    • A Banana4scale on 12/03/2012 - 11:07

      frieand !?

    • justtoreply on 12/03/2012 - 11:33

      Process to get friends in the technological age:

      1) Buy Laptop
      2) Use laptop to find online friends*

      *Friends may be bots or not speak the same language, but if theyre on your f-list, they count by todays standards.

      • AncientWisdom on 12/03/2012 - 19:08

        OK but how do you get real friends? that's the real pickle… :-p
