last gen CPU for $699.....

Finally, 1600x900 resolution. There has been so much 1366x768 crap lately, it's good to see something you can do real work on, not just watch movies.

why is this getting a negative reps?

Quote from aznhero913 : why is this getting a negative reps?

looks like "Not a good price" is the reason

Here's the thing. A few years ago, any laptop would have costed you a good chunk of money, yes they were big in size and yet you were stuck with running whatever it could handle. For the few that knew how to tweak/add hardware, well you could get the most out of it.
Now we have 'ultrabooks' where the cpu alone exceeds in performance, compared to those of Celeron or Core 2 duo, which I find amazing. The price? This is definitely below and much faster than something you could have gotten about 2-3+ years ago. Shouting '2nd gen' does not mean a bad thing. If you're trying to play BF3, Skyrim, or whatever game that you want to run in super ultra magnificent out of this world graphics, then yes, this laptop isn't for you.

But if you're looking to write reports, spreadsheets, watch movies, surf the web or something similar, without the extra weight or thickness, then this is a good buy. Yes there were chances to catch a deal on the 3rd gen SS9 ultrabooks, if you were lucky, for about the same price too but even that didn't last long. And yes you could wait a few more months for Haswell to come out, rumor is June, but like always anytime you wait, everything eventually drops in price.
