UL30vt? An Anandtech review from a couple of months ago noted that a 13" model of this type would be available. Will we have to wait longer for a 13" with Turbo overclock features?

what would you need 1.3 megapixels for? regardless the images will still be crap, if you want real pictures go buy a nikon or canon, or standalone webcam for chat if you're that picky. On MSN .3 - 1.3 looks same, also saves bandwidth.bluetooth - go stick in a flush usb adapter, 15$. No bluetooth - one less way to waste battery.DVD drive - get your own standalone drive. no DVD - less weight, less battery drain.I like this low voltage core duo style, I'm gonna spring for the UL50vt.

Wow. As one of the first annoying customers to bug you about it, I have to say I didn't think it would actually work, but I figured I'd bring it up and hope enough people would follow. We will remember this, Mr. Asus, and you will also have my pre-order as soon as it's available. I think I have a new favorite computer company. I'll make sure people hear of this.

My biggest issue right now is the wireless connection problems that are popping up.Asus, what are the chances of getting a different type/brand of wireless card for the UL line?
389663
Thank you ASUS! You just became my new favorite company...not just for releasing this product but for listening to your customers. I will pre order one as soon as it is available.

Right, no optical drive in any Asus UL30.We hope to have inventory of the UL series at Amazon.ca within three weeks. Some of the UL models will be available with a bilingual keyboard.
389666
Dear ASUS,Any chance of a UL30vt with backlit keyboard in my lifetime? I'm pretty old, so we are talking a small window.
389667
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 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

Hopefully Amazon sent me what I ordered. I'll find out Monday when I get it. At one time it was stated that they were in stock which was later changed to not yet released. All I know is that Laptop Magazine had one over a week ago for testing and supposedly Amazon has shipped one to me.

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.

thanks for the link, also about to purchase Ul20a with the memory you recommended, just wondering if its the same timings and specs than the one that comes inside.

We haven't seen anything about a UD5008 coming out soon but feel free to keep checking back in the future to see if we have received any upcoming information about one. Thanks for your question.

thanks Frances...i am just thinking that with the new I series Intels coming up..it should happen soon..have deferred my decision to buy one for now..

Hi ASUS,Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that, I guess I either have the option of waiting for a possible refresh although it's probably going to take a while since this isn't even out yet, or go with the UL30 even though I really need something smaller. If you can, please pass it on higher that customers want an HDMI option!Btw for anyone thinking of buying an ASUS laptop, I've been a long time ASUS faithful (starting with the G1), really rock solid and problem free.

I believe that the Yoga 13 is available with either an i5 or an i7.This listing, with its higher price, seems to be for the i7.If not, it could be returned for incorrect product description.

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.

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?).

I am uncertain what the listing means though they may be referring to the ASUS Transformer Book T300LA-DH51T 13.3-Inch Detachable 2 in 1 Touchscreen Ultrabook, Core i5-4200U (or the T300 LA DH71T which has a Core i7 processor) which are the newer 13 inch detachables from Asus. The T300 LA is different in several respects (check the listing) including no battery and hard-drive in the keyboard section. As for the weight issue, it depends on your expectations. The Tx300 is reasonably light for regular usage (as a laptop). When used as a tablet it is obviously heavier than the usual 10 or 11 inch tablet but offers much more screen real estate for work and play (eg movies) so for me that was an acceptable trade off. I particularly wanted to be able to read a magazine full page without have to scroll around or enlarge the page and this ( 13 inch screen) accomplishes that goal very well.

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.

Due to overwhelming demand for the UL30VT-X1, ASUS will start selling a sliver UL30VT model in January. I apologize for an earlier post on another topic regarding there being little or no chance of a silver model coming before the end of January. The silver model just showed up on a report and I had no warning. Expect to see it available for pre-sale the last week of December and start shipping a couple weeks later.

@Cameron Warren: Where did you see the release date of December for the 13" model?

I'm also curious about possible future options, such as dual graphic cards. This new laptop --http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=57XDSj2LxRg41F0d-- exists because of this thread:http://www.amazon.com/UL30vt/forum/Fx1978M98LGJ2GT/Tx3TJDDWOALGBIS/1/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?_encoding=UTF8Customers requested the silver aluminum case and vt option. [Edit: The US version will be black, like the rest of the series.] They also asked for a backlit keyboard but didn't get it.Edit: Dual graphic cards added; I'll probably pick up the UL50vt instead.
