Asus UL30JT Asus, any idea when the new UL30JT that is being showcased in CES 2010 now will become available?The UL30JT appears to be the UL30VT with switchable GeForce 310 1GB graphics card instead and the i7-640UM/620UM processor.http://zedomax.com/blog/2010/01/08/asus-ul30jt-hands-on-review-ces-2010/ Asus UL30JT Asus, any idea when the new UL30JT that is being showcased in CES 2010 now will become available?The UL30JT appears to be the UL30VT with switchable GeForce 310 1GB graphics... » Read More Asus UL30JT Asus, any idea when the new UL30JT that is being showcased in CES 2010 now will become available?The UL30JT appears to be the UL30VT with switchable GeForce 310 1GB graphics card instead and the i7-640UM/620UM processor.http://zedomax.com/blog/2010/01/08/asus-ul30jt-hands-on-review-ces-2010/ « Show Less

If they put a GT335M into this instead of the G310M and added a backlit keyboard, it would be perfect.

I've got to say that I'm a bit disappointed that virtually the same computer that was released only days ago will soon be one-upped. On the other hand, when the UL30JT is finally released, something even better will no doubt follow quickly on its heels. This is of course the nature of technological advance. The A1 however, currently fills a particular niche (performance+price+endurance) and fills it extremely well, especially for my needs. I'm still very excited for the A1 and can't wait to unbox mine.

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.

That is what ASUS have been doing for a long time now. Just look at their netbook line. Pretty much a new netbook every 2/3 month. In order to stay ahead of the business, and to, hopefully, surpass HP in their own game, this strategy is absolutely necessary. No only will this keep people interested in the brand as a whole, but also milk their super loyalists into changing their laptop once every half year. Furthermore, you have to admit that the UL30JT is in every shape and form better than the UL30VT.

That's what happens with technology...things will always get better...if you keep waiting, you will never buy anything...when the UL30JT releases, im pretty sure there's going to be a better one coming out right around the corner...

@ TVI am also conflicted too. But it would be cool if it does come out very soon. Hope is free! :)

I don't see where you see it states it has the Atom processor. It is not the 901. Asus upgraded the 900 when it added the 901. That is what this is. Have Celeron 900mhz processor still. Seems to be two flavors 20GB and 16GB. The 16GB is priced lower and the 20GB has $100 rebate.

The ASUSs with "-A#" have longer battery lives than the ones with "-X#" The UL30VT has a better graphics card (dedicated card in addition to an intergrated one) than the UL30A which just has integrated graphics.

Go to the Asus website. Its not very user friendly but you can find it there.

Asus offers different models the i3, i5 and the i7 processor. The i3 comes with only 4gb of ram where as the i5 and the i7 come with 8gb of ram.. The one on amazon comes with the i5, 1TB hard drive and 8gb of ram. But here is where it gets a little tricky!!! The 8 gb of ram is located in the base witch is the windows side. When your on the tablet side it has 2gb of internal ram inside the tablet running android and if I'm not mistaken 32 gb hd. Let me know if you have anymore questions and if your serious about getting the asus transformer. Go ahead you want be disappointed.

I'm not seeing the "NVIDEA GeForce" in the specs. as H.L. posted. Showing "Intel HD Graphics 4600" instead.Also, note that there's no optical drive (CD/DVD) either.

Hey ASUS I have a question.I am ready to purchase the UL30A-X5, but I worry about the issues with the Wifi dropping signals. This is a dealbreaker for me as I will be using this laptop for wireless websurfing.Any comment on the problems people are having? Is it the atheros card? How can I get a unit with the the Intel card?Thanks for all your help and I really like ASUS products. Please don't make me have to buy a HP DM3.

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.

some of them shipped with ati graphics (discreet) and some were ordered with intel 4500 integrated graphics. you might want to contact the seller to be sure of which one you are getting. although the ati graphics are discreet, i don't believe that they are switchable. the one i have has the intel graphics and it works nice. i believe the ati graphics was a higher cost option.

They are IPS screens - supposed to be amazing. Reference: http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/02/acers-aspire-s7-ultrabooks-coming-october-26th-starting-at-1200/ (or many other sites across the web :)

Hopefully Mr. ASUS can give us an update. He was very active in the UL30VT thread so we'll see if he responds here as well.

Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar.Thanks.

The CPU is a "HQ" model which means it cant be upgraded. Only he "MQ" models can. Unfortunately we are not able to change the screen either. There isnt an official release date for the GTX 860M SLI version, but we're hoping this summer.

The UX21A comes in both 1366x768 and 1920x1080 resolutions, although you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise as this is difficult to determine, even on ASUS's product page. They've been advertising and sending out 1920x1080 units to reviewers all year, but nearly all of the units for sale are the 1366x768 versions. It's irritating, isn't it? Especially considering this is the only option for a decent resolution in a smaller form factor.

I'm wondering the same thing. I just ordered one up but before I tear open the box I need to know which processor it has. I ordered it thinking it was an i7.; After I posted this I noticed that they changed description to an i3.

I'm on the same wagon, i'm gonna get one of this next month, but i haven't decided yet. I like the 1201N more than the UL20A for a simple reason, everything that is going out in computer world is graphics intense, CPU is less needed everyday, and for the task that need CPU power the one in the 1201N is enough.
