If you mean whether there is light under the keyboard, no.It's not an Alienware, my friend.

I just bought this laptop and I'm really liking it. I upgraded the drive to a 128 SSD and it's performing great! However, there's a sticker on the palmrest that says "Illuminated Chiclet Keyboard" and has the logo for an IF Design Award China next to it. I haven't found anything else that mentions an illuminated keyboard, and I haven't found any mention of it in the rather unhelpful manual. I was hoping someone might know something about it. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it would be really nice if the keyboard did light up.

ASUS Zenbook did not work. I returned it. I got a lenovo i7 and like it a lot. But I do not know if it is X1. It is not with me at this time.

I got the U31SD-XH51 with 2nd-Gen Intel iCore5 and a discrete nVidia GPU for heavy tasks (was on sale for $600USD) instead so I can't exactly tell you anything here. Mine runs extremely cool for browsing stuff and watching videos (fan doesn't even run at all unless I play 3D games). I also give credit to Asus for a well-designed cooling system on their laptop brand. Sources: I still own an HP-DV2210us model so I know exactly what you mean.

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 must say its false marketing from Asus saying it has USB 3.0 on some models when its impossible to buy it, at least no sellers on the net specify it, what I have found.. (perhaps only one model is sold in one copy and is locked in the Asus test lab in China, yeah right so much fuss for that extra *** in the finetext of the specs) Why not be more clear on what models are with USB3.0 why not name it 1015PED-U3 instead?

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.

Dudes, I ordered my G73JH-a1 from Amazon on 2/25/10 and just got an email yesterday that it shipped! Others who ordered from PC stores (xotic pcadvantage, gentech etc) have been waiting for months. Amazon Rocks! Thanks Amazon! I will have my beast on Monday free shipping and no TAX!

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.

Yesterday, Amazon changed the status of this product to "In Stock". I pulled the trigger and ordered the ASUS. I was notified this morning via e-mail that the laptop had been shipped. I am looking forward to its arrival.

I agree and am looking for a new laptop, a new 13.3" thin model with good battery life for Ubuntu.Acer has one I am looking at too that has been said to work with Linux. I am using a older Acer now with Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 releases on 29 OctoberAcer Aspire Timeline AS3810TZ-4925 13.3-Inch Aluminum Laptop - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium)I will post again if I find out anything about this ASUS

i spoke to a asus rep and he told me that it is doubtful now that the 31 will release in the usa. I too was waiting on the 31 but I finally ordered the 21 and have not looked back. So far I am really loving it and do not regret my decision

Everything I've read says you can't upgrade the RAM on the U120. I had just ordered it and haven't received it yet. I hope I won't regret not being able to add RAM. I researched as much as my mind could handle when I ordered this. I liked the light weight and the decent screen size and the brightness. It's all very confusing. Now there is a U120H. I don't know what the H has and why it's different. Better connectivity I've been told. Anyone know what this means? I don't want to have buyer's remorse. Sigh...it's all too much!

I have attempted to register the Asus P501J-X1 laptop on the Asus website and received the same message. Also mailed in the ADW card and had it returned by the post office. Called Asus customer service 4 times and was told to fax my documents. I did this and received no response. I then tried registering online again and received the same default message. Finally found an e-mail address and sent a note with an attached PDF containing my documents. Received an incredible response advising me that there was no fax at that location and that I should call customer service. It appears that the Asus ADW is a fraud and that Asus is deliberately scamming customers into thinking that it is standing behind it's products. What a disgrace!

That's a good question. I have attempted to get ASUS to say when this will be available but they have ignored my repeated queries via Facebook, Twitter and the "Contact Us" section of their website. In early October, ASUS had a preorder page for both the Taichi and the VivoBook but the Taichi was removed from that page shortly afterwards. At this point, the ASUS website doesn't list any US retailers who will carry the Taichi and the Canadian retailers they list show an estimated availability date of late December. Newegg lists the Taichi as discontinued. I am beginning to suspect that they discovered some major design flaw and are deciding whether or not they are going to simply cancel the product altogether. I've been waiting for a month and a half so far. I'll give ASUS another week to release some kind of official ETA before I cancel my order and buy a Dell XPS 12 instead.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the ul30vt-x1 can really handle 8gb of RAM? I want to preorder the a1 but the thought that the x1 can handle twice the RAM "supposedly" is making me hold off until this can be verified. I know that amazon has it listed as such, but I have my doubts considering I cannot find anything else that supports that claim. The ASUS website only lists it as support up to 4gb. Any help would be appreciated at this point from anyone. I have not been able to find anything else out from any of the other ul30vt forums on the internet.

Canceled my order with amazon. They need to get their sh it together because several other retailers, even ones on this site are saying they have this laptop in stock and ready to ship. I went to buy.com, hopefully they will ship mine within the next 24 hours, I doubt amazon would have.
