    I found a New ASUS Zenbook UX32VD-DH71 Ultrabook - Intel Core i7 6GB RAM 500GB HDD+24GB SSD 13.3" FHD NVIDIA GT 620M Windows 8 64 bit.

    It's about a week old, and the seller is selling it for $600. That's a good deal right?

    I currently have a Lenovo U530 Touch and honestly I do not like it that much. It's an i7-4500U and all but I think I am going to sell it and buy this instead?

    Does anyone have any thought or opinions on this?

    I also wanted to switch my SSD into the ASUS Zenbook is that possible?

    Thanks Meaker.

    But for that price is a good deal correct?

    My Lenovo u530 Touch has a Intel Integrated Chip for the graphics card so the graphics would be an upgrade switching to this laptop I would think yes?

    Thats a very good price, almost too good. Makes you wonder why he doesn't just return it to where it was bought for a full refund if its just a week old.

    I talked to the seller today. It was due to a return policy after you open the computer box, so he could not return it for any credit or a full refund. He was in an emergency to sell the laptop.

    I ended up taking it for $600 if it's not worth it I might just sell it in the long run. I have not heard too much about the Zenbook, but I believe it's known to be a good ultrabook!

    Sounds like you got an excellent deal then. Its great if you want portability, I personally almost bought the same model but went with the larger UX51 instead. Hope you enjoy it!

    Depends what you want to use it for, for media at home your G73 should still do well.

    You can always hook up an external monitor at home to get a larger screen. It would probably be hard to find as good of a deal you did for the 15.6" version.

    Here's to hoping it treats you well! If so, you got one heck of a bargain.
