    Anyone have more info about this laptop?

    Can't find much. It is available in July here in Denmark for around 500 euroes only.
    Tempting thing about this one is that is very light weight, still big screen and it's a budget laptop still.

    Info that I have found:
    F501A - 15.6", HD Glare - intel i3-2350M (2.3GHz) - Intel HD Graphics - 4096MB(4096MBx1) DDRIII 1600 - 500GB 5400rpm SATA - no ODD - 802.11bgn - 0.3M - BT4,0 - USB3.0 - 6 cell (4400mAh) - W7PM - Weight 2.07 Kg

    Picture of it:

    Looks like it. I think there is a market for that kind of size and weight laptop. There is at least not many of the same kind. I know Sony has one 15,6 inch at 2 KG, and there is probably others, but waaaay more expensive....

    And this one is only gonna be around 500-600 euroes.
