Thank you for that information. Sadly I had to return my MSI U120 as the keyboard was defective. Sam's Club had a Dell mini notebook/netbook for $348 and I just bought it. It's really nice as I already have a Dell Inspirion laptop.

That would be the U123G or U123H (I've seen it called one thing in early reviews and another in later reviews; not to be confused with the U123T which has a digital TV tuner). The U123 basic model was released in the US last week, although it's not in wide release (I only know of 3 places that have it, and Amazon isn't one of them). The U123G/H hasn't been released anywhere yet, probably end of May in Asia and a month later or so in the US.

Hi. Its really thin and light, no doubt about that. I bought this laptop only because I did not get anything cheap with that thin and light ultrabook look. But, regarding gaming: i have no clue, but this laptop is on the slower side in terms of configuration. Maybe its the processing speed or RAM or its just because of Windows 8. I don't at all like its Speed.

Unfortunately, this model is NOT full HD; if you look at the specifications, it says that the resolution is 1366 x 768. This is still a nice, premium ultrabook though. Hope that helps!

The HP Mini 110 series is the closest to matte screen you'll ever get. They call it anti glare screen but it looked matte screen to me. The netbook itself is probably the best looking Netbook out there with almost a full keyboard.

In the MSI website, the weight of u100 and u120 (both 6-cell) seem to be different. u100 is 2.6 lb and u120 is 2.3 lb. But no vendor has put emphasis on this difference so I don't know is it really lighter than the 6-cell u100. I bought u120 in the end and are pretty happy about it. If the weight difference is true, then I'll probably get a 9-cell battery for my u120 to make it work whole day long. It will ultimately make the 9-cell u120 same weight as 6-cell u100.

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")

basically right now just the 4 gb ..there is a new one coming out UV500V2 might have more BUT it's humongo!!! 15.6 inches and I hardly think of that as an ultra book.. Ultrabook to me means not just light but will fit on my lap... can carry with one hand (not just light but can hold with one hand without awkwardness nor fear of it not balancing correctly and crashing).

I only use it for email and FB while traveling; no gaming. But I love the netbook so I would base your decision on the size of the Hard Drive and amount of RAM on the offered machine. It has a full sized key board, which is nice.

I believe it was the exact same model and therefore specs because the model number is an exact match. That is how I found this Amazon page. I plugged the model number into Google. I wanted to see what others thought about this netbook as we bought it after only a few minutes of shopping. This isn't my normal style but we bought it for our son-in-law who flew out tonight and we wanted him to have a computer.

Yeaah, apparently NONE of the netbooks that Asus advertises with USB 3.0 are actually available with USB 3.0, at least not to Americans anyway. I think it's dumb that they don't allow you to configure your own computer on their site like other manufacturers, such as Sony and Toshiba. That would avoid so much confusion.

Did you buy the ASUS netbook yet? I've narrowed it down to this model, and would like to get something other than the popular "Black" color.I think I'm leaning towards the "Blue" color. I asked someone that bought the blue ASUS and they said it's darker blue than the picture and has purple highlights. I think that's a color I would like. Whatever color you choose really comes down to your own personal preference. Good Luck in choosing if you haven't already!!

It came out 12 to 16 months ago. You can find the dimensions on Dells website but I think it's approximately three eighths of an inch.I wouldn't buy this model now even though it's discounted because the newer version with the fifth generation Intel chip should be out soon.While this model is a very good system it had lots of issues that will most likely be fixed in the 2015 edition ( 5th gen Intel Chip ) when it comes out.If you can't wait, then you may want to get Dell XPS 13 2015 with 5th Gen intel chip. It can only do 8GB and I think max internal drive is 512GB not 1TB. Screen may be small, but you can connect it to external monitors.XPS 13 2015 is smallest and posdibly one of the most powerful ultrabook laptops. It came out 12 to 16 months ago.

So far, looks like the Crucial is the only choice but theres someone with a complaint, I bought one Samsung on eBay and didn't work also. Does this netbook runs better con Windows Professional?

Dear Kateryna Odnous: The ASUS UX31A-DH71 13.3-Inch Zenbook Prime is an absolutely Outstanding Ultrabook, and it uses the extremely high-quality ADATA XM11 solid state drive with the SandForce 2281 controller. The ADATA XM11 solid state drive is very fast, which is evident from its excellent performance on benchmark tests of both its sequential and random read and write speeds. Also, it achieves a superb score of 8.1 on the Windows Experience Index assessment of disk data transfer rate. As I noted in my review, this solid state drive enables the computer's startup to be almost instantaneous. In my view, the use of high-quality solid state drives has revolutionized mobile computing, and, in fact, inclusion of a solid state drive is one of the essential criteria for a notebook computer to be classified as an Ultrabook, along with the ultra-low-voltage Intel Dual-Core processor. All of the components of the ASUS UX31A-DH71 13.3-Inch Zenbook Prime are of the highest quality, and contribute to its truly being a premium Ultrabook, and the quintessential mobile office! Thank you, and Best regards - Kenneth L. Rodino, M.D.

The HP netbooks that have matte screens unfortunately have a wide glossy frame around the display, which defeats the purpose -- it's like a reflective mirror around the display and can be equally distracting. I have an Asus netbook with the same problem -- though the frame is not as shiny. The HP was so bad however, I had to return it. I'm glad to see many others share this concern, maybe the manufacturers will start listening??

I bought NB505-N508BL 7 days back. Nice Piece! If you just want to surf internet, check emails, watch movie and listen to music there is no need to upgrade the memory. For better performance one can upgrade the memory to 2gig (DDR3 for new models and DDR2 for older ones). I upgraded to windows 7 pro and 2 gigs memory. My netbook works as good as a laptop. Note: Please don't order memory before you start using the machine, 1 GB DDR3 should be sufficient for basic users.
