It's 1000GB HDD. I think they meant 1TB. I replaced mine with an SSD instead though. And it's 2GB Graphics Memory.

Amazon sent me an email inviting me to respond to this since I purchased this item a few weeks ago. I don't know about the one being offered here but mine has a 297 gByte hard drive, as reported through Windows 7. I was happy quite satisfied with the laptop...the only cautionary tale is that it comes with Windows loaded with no hardcopy of the OS or key: If windows has to be reloaded for any reason (this has NOT happened to me yet, I am just being pessimistic) you will have to pay for it.

Hello, from what I understand from specs of web site ASUS it has 4 GB and 1 GB dedicated graphics but also sharing is going on to. I have no problem with this configuration as long as I don't overload system.

1- What is the speed of the HDD? the hard drive installed is 750GB and is 7200rpm (verified). It is pre-partitioned to a 250GB OS partition and a 500GB data partition. 2- Does it come with the gamers backpac and mouse from ASUS? No, this is one of the ways to reduce the price of the A1, the X versions dont come with mouse nor backpack. 3- Why is the global warranty provided (1 year) is less than the standard 2 year warranty offered by ASUS? Another place where the X version lower the price, since you dont get 2 years warranty they also lower the price, give or take like $100. If you wish to have full 2 year warranty just go for the A1 version. The XA1 is a water down verision of the A1, less warranty, less drives, no blue ray, no mouse/bag, less bandwidth memory, in exchange you get to keep $300. BTW XA1 is an amazon exclusive model so you wont find it elsewhere.

The 5400rpm Best Buy's (NP700Z5B-W01UB) model HDD was a deal breaker for me. Besides Amazon's tax savings offset the price difference, so you get all 4 additional features (7200 HDD, 8G SSD, backlit keyboard, better video) for about $100 considering shipping and the current $150-$200 price difference. However the mention of the 5400rpm drive in S03 (and I'm sure S04) models made me think again. It's gotta be some difference with S01/S02 and the drive seems to be it. Another thing that one reviewer (of the S04) confirmed is that the 8G SSD is indeed proprietary tech (built into and inseparable from the HDD) and thus unavailable as a separate drive letter. I use Linux as my primary OS, so I don't care about Windows startup or IE speed. I don't think Linux would pick up the SSD at all. Which makes me go back to the stripped down Best Buy model. I'd simply swap its slow HDD with a full-size (256G+) SSD which can be had for $300 nowadays. I can live w/o the backlit keyboard and as far as the less capable video card, it's a business notebook, not a water-cooled gaming rig anyway.

This unit has a 1TB HDD. The 1GB listed is an error. A request has been made to have it corrected.

I was going to buy it here on Amazon but Newegg.com had an even better deal. For $390 they threw in an extra 1TB hard drive. Pretty good deal. Can't wait to test this baby out.

Yes its a 2GB nvidia 745M, I upped the ram to 16gb and put a SSD drive in and this computer is great. I am going to school for IAS and PC Tech so I use a lot of intensive programs like vmware and photoshop along with browsing and I have never had any trouble. If you have the money do those upgrades and put in a AC WiFi card and you wont be disappointed. Also the screen is excellent the colors are really vibrant and everything is really sharp, Also you can calibrate it you you really want to.

The one I got from here was 1 TB hard drive and Win 7 Pro x64 ; it is a pretty good machine / I have two other ASUS x64 boxes and all three are great !! I would recommend to anyone wanting a hard working processor and good solid machine.

totaly confused with amazon. The specs on the press release have the 05 with 128 GB and win 7 pro. The title for this product includes the 128 in the title. Are you sure this will ship at 64gb. This is crazy!

Hi so you want to trade my 128GB for your 256GB? Email me at geraldino DOT 10 ATT gmail DOT com, I'm looking to upgrade my HDD on my UX31. Thanks.

Mine was new and arrived sooner than i was expected to be deliver, however i bought mine with no HDD (hard drive) because i had an extra... But you could buy it at a local computer store!!! Good luck!!

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

Storage should be in the specs. Best to just check them out. Mine was 256gb solid state drive.

It has an integrated graphics card. says it's the Intel Q965/Q963 Express chipset Family. The computer is fast, reliable, and has plenty of power. (3.0 Ghz) but that graphics card is useless for high end mmorpgs or games like farcry or bioshock 2. That's why I'm going to return mine shortly. Unless you can upgrade it, then it's a great buy, but the fact that it's a mini tower will limit what you can upgrade with.

This has been a very nice machine. The GPU is a GTX645 OEM card. I have done several tests on it and it works well. I would highly recommend this machine. One of the best PCs i have ever setup and used.
