      Ok now I am actually surprised as well, a 500GB SSD Ultrabook for less than $1300 has 8+ votes??? If you haven't voted for this deal can you let us know what you would like to see instead?

        do a windows 8 tablet with stylus

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 15/12/2012 - 17:24

          Sure, but that is besides the point, just because you may not want this particular deal doesn't mean it is not a good deal. That is the whole point of the voting system as far as I can see for people who watch this site religiously to be able to quickly give everyone who may not pay as much attention feedback on whether a deal is worth it or not.

          Watching this system over the last few months very closely, it seems that most people don't bother to vote on deals unless they themselves would buy it. Also the negative votes are used way too sparingly. If the system were working as expected then a lot more deals would get voted negative this doesn't seem to happen nearly as much as it should.

          This is coming from an outside observer in the sense that I never vote on deals (except the LTS deal as that was the right thing to do)

        • ozhunter on 15/12/2012 - 17:48

          This is coming from an outside observer in the sense that I never vote on deals

          Why not? My guess is that most people don't want to vote unless they are sure it's a good deal

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 15/12/2012 - 17:57

          I don't vote because I am a Rep, and I think it would be bad form to vote on other vendors deals. I may be wrong in that interpretation in which case I am happy to vote I usually have a pretty good idea whether something is a good deal or not.

        • mskram on 16/12/2012 - 13:58

          Negative votes are used sparingly because you have to write a comment when you neg, whereas you only need to be signed in to vote positively

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 16/12/2012 - 16:10

          I think that is still a good policy you should have to justify a neg, but I guess making it harder also means a lot fewer people will bother to do it…

    looking for an ultrabook.. would this be a good deal? not much good ultrabook deal going on lately..

    • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 15/12/2012 - 14:59

      Depends on what you need. If you need a lot of storage and an SSD then I would say this will be the best deal at the moment. If you are ok with a 500GB standard drive there are other options out there, HP for example which are cheaper.

      Price to performance though you will struggle to beat this deal.

      • secret007 on 15/12/2012 - 15:15

        I dont need a lot of storage.. I just need need a laptop that is light ( less than 2 kg , hopefully around 1.5 ), fast, can play light - semi medium game ( my gf likes to play some sims 3 ), and hopefully has a long-lasting life ( looking to use the laptop for daily use for next 3-4 years ). Use mainly to watch movies ( connect to the tv using hdmi ), play light games, work stuff, browse and do some microsoft-office related stuff..

        this ultrabook is definitely one of the laptops im considering right now.. btw if you dont mind which HP you are talking about rep?

        • Store Repflingshot @ Flingshot on 15/12/2012 - 15:42

          http://flingshot.com.au/collections/computers-ultrabooks/pro…

          This is the best entry level ultrabook available right now by a fair margin. If you want to use it for the next 3-4 years though it will struggle with new video formats that will be coming out in the next 1-2 years.

        • secret007 on 15/12/2012 - 18:36

          will keep looking and this is definitely an option.. will this deal available only for today or while stocks last? btw, i was trying to access your website and got malware alert.
