Thanks,

so what model (prefer asus ultraportables) would be in my price range (~600CDN)?

[mitcity22]

Comp usa is selling a 12.1" Everex notebook in the $500-600 range.

I'd actually just go for the Z33. The W5 hasn't fallen anywhere near the $600 range yet, and anyhow there aren't many of them for sale right now. The other $600 ultraportables I can think of (used Sony TR and T series, etc) are all using much less powerful ULV processors, so the Z33 is probably pretty decent compared to those.

I'd give $300 for it, if its in good condition.

Yeah the person doesn't seem to want to budge under $500..

I know the extended battery adds a bit of value, but i donno.

Thanks


any suggestions on any 13.3" in this price range?

If the deal was good, i could go up as high as 7 or 8 hundred shipped.

Maybe look for a cheap used Sony S series (4.2lbs, 13", and an nVidia Go6200) or (dare I say it) Macbook. Potentially, a refurb Sony C series could work as well.
