We are starting a weekend only special on the UX21 i3 Zenbook. We have taken down the bonus Office offer and replaced it with a bonus 64GB USB 3 flash drive. AND we have dropped the price from $699 down to $538. Limited Stock available. We know you love the flash drives, but we wanted to see if we could offer something a little more substantial, plus a flash drive ;)

If you have any issues please email us at [email protected].

Update 1: This is the drive http://flingshot.com.au/collections/storage-usb-storage/prod…

Update 2: We have also dropped the price on the ux31 i7, down to $1488, no bonus USB 3 with that one though. http://flingshot.com.au/products/computers-ultrabooks-asus-u…

Update 3: UX21 is now sold out. So we will now be throwing in the 64GB USB 3 with the UX31, until they sell out.

Update 4: Just dropped the price of the UX31. $1348 shipped for just the machine itself.

    Make it $475 (incl shipping) without the USB drive and we have a deal.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 20/07/2012 - 23:36

      We will give it a little more time, as we don't have a ton of stock. If everyone wants a standalone price we will bring it down a little.

      edit: One gone already… Keep in mind it only has a 64GB SSD so that USB 3 drive will definitely come in handy.

        The 64Gb usb is so ugly… Can I swap it for $40 cash? or swap it for a 64Gb Class 10 SD card?

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/07/2012 - 12:05

          we have sold out of the UX21 now. Were you looking at that or the UX31?

    I am currently writing this from my ASUS UX31 Zenbook. It has not been turned off or put back to sleep for at least 2 weeks, because every 2-3 times I do it, it will start with a blank screen and freeze. Then it takes a whole battery drain to get it back to work! This is a very common fault with Zenbooks (UX21 or UX31), beware when buying!!!

      That's why I gave up any hope on Asus laptops after my last Asus screwed up. They have serious reliability issues.

        900X3C under $1k.

        • uccoffee on 21/07/2012 - 02:36

          i think cheapest was $1100 @ HN after the 500 cash back before! waiting for some one else to beat that.

        • leonheart1 on 21/07/2012 - 02:45

          I thought it was $988 although some got it even cheaper.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/07/2012 - 09:45

          Unfortunately if you are using those after cashback prices as your benchmark you might be waiting for a while… It will get there eventually but right now it is just not possible.

        • heesub on 21/07/2012 - 11:27

          I don't know if you are only after a brand new.
          I've just accidentally found it.

        • leonheart1 on 21/07/2012 - 13:58

          Yeah, see that's an older model (900X3A) and it doesn't have ivy bridge or the higher resolution.
          It's easy to make a mistake and some retailers don't even mention the product code.

      to the REP, is this with 2 years warranty?

        Yeah, this comes with full Asus warranty.

        • quickling on 21/07/2012 - 10:26

          which does not answer the question. 2 years, or a year?

        • uccoffee on 21/07/2012 - 11:30

          AU should be just 1 year, but you are eligible for the $15 windows 8… and most import are not low end i3 like this one… hmmm

        • Zimmer on 21/07/2012 - 11:35

          which is 1 or 2 years? I work at an Asus dealer and don't know the answer to this.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/07/2012 - 12:03

          Sorry for the confusion, it is 1 year. Should have made that more clear.

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/07/2012 - 07:24

      Some stuff is imported some is AU stock, it is listed on each category page, or item page if the actual items are a mix.

    If this was the current model I'd be all over it. The old one is less impressive.

  • inusure on 21/07/2012 - 06:44

    This one only has 1 usb port?

    • PLA74 on 21/07/2012 - 06:59

      I'm pretty sure there are 2 USB 3.0 ports - one on each side of the computer

      • KRRacing on 21/07/2012 - 09:37

        It's actually 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0

        AU stock is actually worse than import, cos some imported one has got 2 years international warranty depends on which country are they from…. just my 2 cents

  • RNDM on 21/07/2012 - 10:11

    What SSD are installed on these units?

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 21/07/2012 - 11:11

      From various teardowns they appear to be msata drives manufactured by Adata. Though there have been reports of other drives from other manufacturers. Without physically opening the machine or checking the BIOS you can't really tell.

      • RNDM on 21/07/2012 - 11:22

        Just wondering. They should have a sticker on the black box, indicating Sandisk/ADATA, but would require opening the shipping packaging. Most of the ones from HN were Sandisk.

          ok guys i went to jb hifi today with my wifey to buy a laptop. having seen this deal in the morning slipped away on OZB i ignored the same laptop at jb first. the list price on this one was $879, I asked the sales guy if he could do better he said he could do 800 for it. i thought, i shouldn't have missed the deal here. went and check Hardly normal and good guys near by, their price were no where near 800. so went back to JB and started tossing between this model and macbook air 11" 64 gb version which was kind of comparable and after 10% off it was 976 and no further discount further than that. for that sort of difference i thought apple is more value for money but if i could get the ASUS one for 538 as listed here then it kind of justifies the price. anyways my wife liked the ASUS more, damn thing is pretty, i asked the sales guy if he could do better and showed him the post on OZB. he said he couldnt match the web price but he could do $658 as a final price. i didnt try to haggle much from there but we were still thinking about it and also asked about the concern from Ozyack above, the sales guy wasnt sure about it. but he thought that we were really interested in this one so he threw in a 500 gig usb 3 hdd for us that sweeten the deal a lot more. the hdd itself was 119 but currently on sale for 69 anyways we got the laptop for 579 and hdd for 69 all add up 658, we bought the package. do you guys think we got a good deal? cheers

        • leonheart1 on 22/07/2012 - 09:01

          You're forgetting that these guys (flingshot) are including a 64gb USB as well.
          But you are getting better warranty. As long as you're happy, don't dwell too much on it.

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 22/07/2012 - 09:04

  • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 22/07/2012 - 23:18

    It depends on the item, but for larger items they are couriered the day after purchase. Coming from Sydney to most metro areas will be 2-3 days max. Probably a good idea for us to add that to the site, thanks for the heads up.

    • itishere on 23/07/2012 - 10:56

    Confused since the website doesnt seem to work for me.

    Is this the old model? I'm looking for the i5 with 1920*1080 IPS screen. Anything happening in that department?

    Do you have a credit card surcharge, because I get extra warranty if I use my credit card.
