IÂ´m looking to buy this ultrabook. It has excellent reviews on internet, but are mostly poor in amazon. Do you recommend to buy it?

It has great numbers as far as resolution, processor, etc. Overall the build is solid. My tab key fell off after 1-2 months. I've heard that Asus' manufacturing practices are slipping. I have another product from them that failed after 4 months. Its a hassle to get my keyboard fixed. In the end, I wouldn't buy this again. There are plenty of other excellent ultrabooks.

I've owned the 500GB model since August. I bought it as a travel machine, but it has become my main machine. Have had no troubles. I also have a Lenovo 15". The Asus screen is so great; the size so compact, the RAID0 fast start so responsive, is it is what I am on almost all the time. Looking for improvements -- I would like 16GB of memory for big files and a 10 keypad for numeric entry. I'm happy with this -- but watching for Asus to add those feature and I will buy Asus again. My first Asus laptop, but by comparison HP and Lenovo are appliances.

I have had 0 problems, am 100% satisfied, and would recommend it without hesitation.

If you wouldn't Mind Greg, I would definitely like to see a review of your impressions of this laptop when it arrives on your doorstep. Since this HP model only came out less than two weeks ago, there isn't too much in the way of hands on review outside of product descriptions and YouTube videos giving teasers before the release. I am hoping this will be the desktop replacement I have been looking for.

It's a great laptop and for the price u can't beat it,it comes with a charger not the original one but the one that comes with it works fine.My battery doesn't stay charged long so I have to keep it plugged up I really don't worry about that I'm just gonna buy a new battery from amazon they like $29 bucks new and the price goes up,but it's a great deal when u think about it.

Agreed, Amazon can shove it. Just bought one off of eBay. Base price was 1889.99 shipped, but I get $151.20 cash back from Windows Live, and hopefully another $56.70 cash back from ebates.com for a total price of $1682.09. Ordered it today around lunchtime, will be delivered tomorrow between 10 and 2. (beat that, Amazon).

That's right. I bought mine from Amazon in february and so far I haven't had any problems with it. I was worried since I live in Venezuela and the laptop might break down. I'm writing this review with my Asus. It's refurbished but runs and looks like new.Thank God.

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.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

Don't buy it here you can get it elsewhere 100 dollars cheaper. I'msure Amazon will get the correct price point later but just to let you guysknow there is another ASUS tablet in the horizon so you guys might just want to skip these tablest....big mistake on ASUS part I think youcan google for it should be coming out in the summer, worth the wait.

Rafael, I am a total Asus fan but I had to return the first laptop I ordered because the key board wasn't lit up and the keys didn't work properly (particularly the cap key). After researching this further I found that Asus is having some quality control issues on this and similar current models and and that they had numerous people complaining about any number of items. My life update wasn't working, some of the drivers weren't working so I returned mine to Amazon (within the 30 days period) and got a replacement. No issues whatsoever with the replacement laptop. If you cannot return the laptop to Amazon I urge you to get this thing fixed by Asus under the warranty ASAP. Sorry, wish I had better news.

I too have been watching this laptop for about a month and a half now. I just purchased one from another seller. I don't think Amazon discontinued it, it's just out of stock for everyone right now. If sellers are getting them back in stock, some are jacking the price up. I also noticed that Amazon has the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA on backorder. If you can find the 1000H, buy it...they're selling like hotcakes!

It is a good laptop, beautiful, good performing. But it has gone on the market for a while, now there are many other choices. I think the new razer blade with touchscreen and GTX 870M, or MSI gs60 is also a good choice.

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.
