UL30vt? An Anandtech review from a couple of months ago noted that a 13" model of this type would be available. Will we have to wait longer for a 13" with Turbo overclock features?

what would you need 1.3 megapixels for? regardless the images will still be crap, if you want real pictures go buy a nikon or canon, or standalone webcam for chat if you're that picky. On MSN .3 - 1.3 looks same, also saves bandwidth.bluetooth - go stick in a flush usb adapter, 15$. No bluetooth - one less way to waste battery.DVD drive - get your own standalone drive. no DVD - less weight, less battery drain.I like this low voltage core duo style, I'm gonna spring for the UL50vt.

Wow. As one of the first annoying customers to bug you about it, I have to say I didn't think it would actually work, but I figured I'd bring it up and hope enough people would follow. We will remember this, Mr. Asus, and you will also have my pre-order as soon as it's available. I think I have a new favorite computer company. I'll make sure people hear of this.

My biggest issue right now is the wireless connection problems that are popping up.Asus, what are the chances of getting a different type/brand of wireless card for the UL line?
389663
Thank you ASUS! You just became my new favorite company...not just for releasing this product but for listening to your customers. I will pre order one as soon as it is available.

Right, no optical drive in any Asus UL30.We hope to have inventory of the UL series at Amazon.ca within three weeks. Some of the UL models will be available with a bilingual keyboard.
389666
Dear ASUS,Any chance of a UL30vt with backlit keyboard in my lifetime? I'm pretty old, so we are talking a small window.
389667
We have heard you loud and clear. Early December, UL30VT. Simlar specs to other VT models, similar price. BT. No backlit keyboard, sorry. Can't reveal more at this time.Thank Amazon's discussion boards and two of Asus's core competencies -- agility, and ability to innnovate.

I went with the UL20A largely because I think for everyday use having that SU7300 will make it feel faster. For the games I play (mostly older RTS games), the integrated graphics should be fine - and I'll just head to my desktop computer if I need more power than that. My concern is that that 330 and the ION will just kill the battery life, and then I'm tethered to a power outlet - so might as well just use my desktop. And I think I'd get annoyed with waiting on that Atom processor to keep up - whereas the UL20A seems to have decent processing power and a nice, portable form factor - seems like the perfect blend.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

I have received no notification of thisAnd the distributor website does not show this. What I have in stock would be the non upgraded model.

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

yeah I decided to wait, was only getting a laptop to have an extra computer in the house and for the occasional vacation use so no rush, sounds like the new i5 ulv chips will run circles around the current ones, and remember even though they use 18W, that is with the gpu included so its really the same as the current ones. They overclock themselves (no need for Asus to do it), now lets just hope some manufactures combine a good switchable card and battery with them. think UL30VT with twice the performance on the gpu and cpu side with almost the same battery life for under $1K.

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

I believe so. I'm upgrading from a 755T but my 1390 won't be here for a few days. I will check back then.

Rich, Thanks for the reply. Let me know what you see popping onto the market. Only 3 cells on this one, I wonder why. Good enough for me tho. This one is more full featured than those other little ones. They are too limited and small. This one has a good price. I know, for a little more I could get a regular laptop. I just like the toy feeling of it. And it doesn't take a lot of power to stay on for hours. Shipping is 3 to 5 weeks! So there's time to cancel if another one looks good. Nice to have a little thread here to check while I wait. Thanks.

Yes, same question was asked and confirmed below: http://forum.notebookreview.com/samsung/742013-samsung-np930x5j-np940x5j-ativ-book-9-2014-15-6-haswell-announced-jan-6-2014-a-29.html#post9646962

As you mentioned, the main differences between the UL50Vt and UL50A are the discrete graphics and DDR3 vs. DDR2 RAM, and according to Best Buy's website, their UL50A is not Bluetooth enabled. If you're OK with not having the nVidia discrete graphics, then the Best Buy one seems to be a pretty good deal. I would stream a bunch of YouTube vids at full screen at Best Buy and if the video quality is solid (not jagged or stuttery), then you should be happy with the less expensive one. Also, supposedly the noticeable differences between DDR2 and 3 is neglible, so it all comes down to how much do you value the extra graphics and Bluetooth?

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

I doubt that's correct with newegg.com. I think they just wrote that, and will update accordingly. I do hope Amazon gets more in stock. I bought a ul80vt, but want to exchange it. However cannot get it exchanged obviously, since there is none to exchange it with. I love the laptop and just hope they get some new ones soon.
