Quote from Ubernaga : Deal is dead. I was adding to cart, and right before I clicked, they did a live update on the website. Instantly refreshed, and now the price is back to $678.00

So I guess it was a good deal then. I always get confused between ASUS and ACER. Is Asus the better of the two?

lol, yes.

also, this was a good deal, considering intel's list price on this cpu is $378

I think it's a given if the resolution is not posted on the title that it will be a low resolution screen.

Love how all the guys with 5000+ posts (yes I am generalizing, some of you 1k+ guys are doing it too) are defending the OP for not posting the resolution of the laptop. You guys smell, just FYI. OP should have put the resolution in the title to avoid wasting peoples time. This is clearly just another "trick" to pull potential buyers in only to dissapoint them when they (hopefully) realize the resolution of the laptop is crap and therefore not such a "slick" deal.

Newer members will not automatically assume that like you think they would...FYI. Better to be as transparent as possible than assume what buyers will be thinking.

Oh and it's not a terrible deal...but nothing I would consider "slick".

Oh give me a break. You really are something aren't you? By your logic, the OP should have put that it is new and not refurbished, that it has usb 3.0 and a gigabit Ethernet port. All that detail can easily be obtained by clicking on the sears link. You quoted "you guys smell", obviously you are not mature enough to have a intelligent conversation.

Quote from Pzark41 : Please put the farking resolution in the title:1366 x 768

So demanding, jesus.

Yes! You hit it on the nose. I was trying to sucker you in to buying this as if I give 2 ***** whether you buy a computer from Sears.

Glad you have it all thought out.

Honestly, if the first guy who pointed it out wouldn't have been a d*** (kind of like how you're acting) about it I would have updated the title. I "copied and pasted" the title from the Sears web site - which is almost always what I do when it comes to notebooks/computers since I know nothing about them... i.e. what makes it attractive to buyers or not.

This is a sick deal, I was able to get one. Thanks OP!

Quote from mojoblow : I think it's a given if the resolution is not posted on the title that it will be a low resolution screen.

I assume the exact same thing. Since full HD is more of a luxury at this point, I only expect to see it when it's included.

1366x768 is currently the "standard" industry resolution for laptops with this screen size. If there's anything different, then I expect to see that.

I like the processor. 1366x768 I wouldn't mind if only they had offered a 14" version.

this deal is still valid...link by OP is not the right one...

i think that's the link OP was linking ( i think)

I've been reading laptop threads for about a year now. The trend is to put the highlights/price in the title. You cannot list every spec. If this had HD res or backlit keyboard or SSD or any other (+) making it more slick than you should put it. Otherwise, adding standard features just makes the title huge. Title now seems ok to me......just sayin.
