I am wondering if the X4 has a 5600mAh battery or the 4400mAh. Anyone know?

The x4 has a smaller hard drive, and a 2 year warranty, and is silver.The x5 has a larger hard drive, a 1 year warranty, and is black.Both have 8 cell batteries, but I don't know if the x4 comes with the higher capacity one, or if it ships with the same one that the x5 uses. When the battery doesn't change the weight of the unit, and is the same number of cells, why change it? Just wondering.

I am also quite curious. Especially in comparison to the UL50vt, as you mentioned. The specs are incrementally better in the UL50vt, such as DDR3 instead of DDR2, 500 GB instead of 320 GB, and of course the Nvidida G210 switchable graphics. With the rebate on the UL50AG-A2, it appears there is a significant price difference, though. The UL50vt costs around one twenty five more. So, are these incremental improvements worth the eighteen percent increase in price? I'm not sure. Last week I didn't think so. This week, I'm on the fence, but leaning slightly towards the UL50vt. I also included the Dell 15z in my comparision, since the form factor and weight were very similar, and it had the same processor. But options can bump the price up fast, and the Dell only had a 1 year warranty.

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.

The 1810T has in addition:- HDMI,- Bluetooth,- Gigabit ethernet,- Extra 2GB RAM for a total of 4GB.- It is also 0.2lbs lighter.I would still go for the UL20A though because of ASUS build quality, metallic cover and overall design if it had the first two, i.e. HDMI and Bluetooth. For now I'm waiting...

I have no idea. However, I am extremely dissatisfied with my ASUS. Have already returned it to factory three times for repairs. Now they're considering replacing my brand new laptop with a refurbished one. Customer service is in south America and they stink. Stay away from ASUS if you can.

The difference is the Sabertooth board is made with overall higher quality components and receives a certificate that ensures it was even pre-tested at the factory for durability. Having owned each I can tell you the Sabertooth is a better board but the M5A99FX is a good board as well. Any motherboard from Asus is a win so if you wanna save a few bucks grab the PRO R2.0 and if you want a board that has a 5 year warranty and will probably last 10 years with no problems and is a great overclocker get the Sabertooth. Either way you cannot go wrong and I'm sure the PRO R2.0 will last over 5 years too. I did notice that the Sabertooth tended to be a better overclocker for my 8350, seeing you are getting an 8320, the MOSFETS seem to be more durable and don't get as hot and the heatsinks on the Sabertooth are definitely better.

yeah I decided to wait, was only getting a laptop to have an extra computer in the house and for the occasional vacation use so no rush, sounds like the new i5 ulv chips will run circles around the current ones, and remember even though they use 18W, that is with the gpu included so its really the same as the current ones. They overclock themselves (no need for Asus to do it), now lets just hope some manufactures combine a good switchable card and battery with them. think UL30VT with twice the performance on the gpu and cpu side with almost the same battery life for under $1K.

V7s are more of the Ultrabook series. Ultrabooks are normally sleeker and cooler at the cost of performance in terms of graphic cards (most of them have only Intel HD 4000). This is where the difference comes. This model counts as a V5 because of the Nvidia 750m dedicated graphics card.

Okay when I ordered mine several weeks ago I couldn't find the difference between the $39.99 Battery and the $69 battery, but I have figured it out. Amazon has the same picture for both batteries. The newer battery ($69) should say RED Lithium the older battery says Lithium-Ion. The difference between the Red Lithium XC and the Lithium-Ion XC is 4Wh. (4 watt hours). The Regular small RED Lithium battery is 16watt/hour the Lithium-Ion XC is 28watt/hour and the newer Red Lithium XC is 32 watts. So is the extra 4 watts worth $7.50 a watt?? I'm not sure what the extra benefits are of the RED Lithium other than increased amperage and hype. However for the difference of a sawbuck, and almost doubling the run time is a good deal (between the regular 16wh RED Lithium and the 28wh Lithium-Ion XC).

Thanks ASUS, your input is always appreciated. I saw the official specs for the UL30vt and I am excited and my CC is equally excited. It is ready whenever Amazon posts the preorder product page.For others here it is http://gdgt.com/asus/ul30vt/specs/

I'm a med student myself, actually already an MD here in my country, but plan in taking my step 1 this june... anyways, I have to recomend ASUS, the laptop has 5 stars build quality as well as performance! I actually bought the ASUS UL80vt, and fits perfectly to my lifestyle, and just so you know, that 12 hr battery thing is for real!!! you should get the ul80vt instead, its quite faster and better at multitasking than the ul30A-x5 since it has turboboos technology, also the screen is 14.1 and comes with DVD drive, which you may not use as much, but I prefer to have it than not.... BTW, go with the Silver model, it looks nicer!!! happy shopping!, let me know what you went for!

Asu,I read the same thing about the fact that despite advertising an Intel card, the ul30A-X5 comes with the Atheros card.Also read about reviewers saying that instead of the 8 cell battery advertised, their UL30A-X5 shipped with a 6 cell.I'm ready to buy the UL30a-X5 right away but only if it comes with the 8 cell battery.Which one is it? anyway to ensure I get the correct 8 cell battery?

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.

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.

The only listed difference between the two systems is that this one says it has dual NVIDIA GeForce GT750M cards, and the 59390951 model on the Lenovo website says it has dual NVIDIA GeForce GT755M. That's it. 750M versus 755M. That most likely means the cards are very, very similar, with the 755 being a slightly newer reproduction from the same line. Performance difference between the two is likely to negligible, especially when running them in a dual configuration. Also - the model on Amazon is selling for $100 less right now, and that is including the $400 coupon Lenovo says they are offering. (Base of 1599 minus 400 = 1199)

Sorry I'm so late but the only difference I know is that asus has a 1gb digital memory model whereas the EVGA has 2GB digital memory. Hope this helps for future references.
