    ummm Intel® Pentium® Core 2 Duo B950………… isn't that quite old?

      It is with technology updating daily but really supporting all USB 3.0 and DDR3 isn't that bad.

      Running 64 Bit aswell.

    • scrimshaw on 07/06/2012 - 13:25

      Not old. B950 is Sandy Bridge. Core 2 Duo…. that's not the name for it lol. Its simply Pentium B950.

        The Kogan description is incorrect (it says Core 2 duo).

        I think the confusion comes from the fact that Intel calls any "budget version" of a new CPU a pentium. The Core 2 duo architecture ones were effectively core2duo with less L2 cache. Now there are Sandy Bridge budget versions which are also called Pentium. So confusing.

    Its not too bad

    If you're not gaming its all you will need.

    Dick smith have had this model on special for $399-449 in the past.
    Now replaced with a newer Asus with a 6 cell battery and 500gb Hdd

    So, what are the screen h x v pixel counts?

    I think CPU & screen details were left out on purpose.

    Omitted info suggests crappy specifications, or, if you prefer: economy level features.

    I'm tempted to NEG this deal…

      They're right there on the "specs" page.
      "
      Display

      Panel Size
      15.6"
      Panel Type
      LED
      Resolution
      1366 x 768
      "

      That's exactly what I'd expect in a low-end 15.6" laptop.

      Negging a cheap product for having features appropriate for its price point would hardly be fair…

    Point of Fact-Gap:

    Word & Excel -starter- editions are NOT "ready to use out of the box"

    (They require a user agreement & install step for each one; also - as PowerPoint is NOT included, you've got to find, download & install MS's PowerPoint player free, but it takes time to take these extra steps…)

    • suburbanmale on 07/06/2012 - 16:28

      ??

      It says it comes preloaded with Win 7 (ie users dont need to install their own OS), and is therefore ready to use out of the box - what point are you making exactly?

    If you can find another $150, I reckon this is a much better deal for a budget laptop:

      WiFi N and bluetooth, but no USB 3.0

  • pilchard on 07/06/2012 - 15:31

    I just bought a pre-built Lenovo E520 for the same price.

    15.6", 320gb. Admittedly it's only 2gb DDR3, but RAM is so cheap these days. :)

      What's the Videocard ?

    Cant find many of the cheap laptops like the past year. Does anyone know where I can get a core i3 processor for $400 range?
