UL30vt? Will we have to wait longer for a 13" with Turbo overclock features?

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 have UL50VT and love it. It's a very solid notebook, with good performance. As far as the keyboard goes, I like it. I have also gotten used to the touchpad. It was annoying that they went with this dimpled touchpad instead of the outstanding matte rubber touchpad that the U50 has. That's not because the dimpled one is bad, it's because the U50's was so nice. I even liked it better than the ones on the Mac Book Pros that I tried. Anyway, you will not be disappointed if you choose to go with the VT.

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

The Future Shop website has been updated now with an expected release date of December 7th. Expansys still shows a November 19th release date in the UK. ASUS is remaining tight-lipped about it, though. No official responses to any requests for availability details. I'm thinking about just picking up the Dell XPS 12 at this point.

Engadget said it was supposed to be available "mid November" when it was first announced. Newegg doesn't have them yet either. I really wish they would hurry up and put these out.

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!

I am/was split on this thought as well, but personally I feel the costs will be prohibitive of the U500. I presume it'll be around the $1500 mark for dedicated graphics and a 128SSD+500GB HDD (there will also be a 512GB SSD, which will easily make the laptop cost around $1700. The price of the laptop, albeit a subjective point, is for me not worth it considering the absolute POOR customer service reviews ASUS has gotten on here. It's very disappointing, and that's put me on the ultrabook search again after having my doubts about the UX32 :(.

Has anyone had any luck hearing when or if the i7 version will be available?

Can you give any guidance on when other configs will be available? I want the ul80vt but I need to have win 7 professional and I would prefer the silver case. I had also read there was going to be a faster processor on offer (su9600?).

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

I cancelled my order. Bought a 120gb xp model at microcenter for 350. I can live without the longer battery life and bigger hd.. I needed it to have it as I am going away this weekend.

They have released it. The new description "not in stock" is probably appropriate.I received my Aspire 1810T-8679 today.

Been using a N52 for years, but it's on its last legs. Still not released. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was hoping it'd be out by X-mas. :(

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.

Another variable I missed was the UL30vt-A1 vs X1. Is there any difference in the X1 vs A1 of the vt line?Thanks again.

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")
