If you value performance over all else, you can find a faster machine. If small size and light weight matter, you can find one that’s more portable. And you can certainly find cheaper laptops. But the Asus UL30A delivers significantly better-than-netbook performance in a package that still weighs ju

I got this on sale to replace my old gateway netbook with a n450 CPU and its one of the best move i've done so far. Like i said, good battery life/build quality is great there's only 2 things i do not like wich is the touchpad and the cpu power...but for a student its the best bang for the buck

Our previous laptop was literally falling apart so we decided to get something affordable and portable. I was pleased to learn of the battery life on such a compact laptop, as this is something I value and the battery duration times were unheard of. Picked up this little beauty from NCIX and I haven't been disappointed, the battery does last forever. I guess to make sure your battery life is within the range of what they advertise the default power scheme will turn off the monitor or put the machine to sleep pretty much every time you run to the fridge for a drink, but even if you change those settings to something more usable the battery still goes on forever.
Let me reiterate: the power life is incredible. I'm a student and I'm able to use the laptop for 7 hours (on High Performance, with screen brightness varying between 0-60%). The obvious tradeoff is that the battery is relatively enormous (the laptop is less than 2 kgs, but the battery itself is about 0.5 kg). Personally, I think that's a tradeoff I'd gladly take for great battery life.
If you want a real usable portable machine that can last for 8+ hours without plugging in and do not require a magnifier, this is for you. Good build quality, good keyboard size and usable touchpad ( I mean, there is no touchpad that can replace the good old mouse ).
Not the quickest and the fastest. Surf the web and do daily office work fine. 1080P playback no problem (get the right software!). Wish that it would have come with a protective sleeve...even an asus netbook has one!

If you're in the market for a new laptop and like the idea of a netbook, but think you might be better off with a more capable, larger laptop, then check out the Asus UL30VT A1. Get the battery life and much of the portability of a netbook with the power and full-size keyboard of a typical laptop.

Great laptop for University, huge battery life, lasts easily 8-10 hours without having to cut features, which lets you not need to worry about charging it every chance you get.
after a few weeks, i notice the system over heats than usual. i tried dusting but it doesnt work. i must say i will have to stick with a better notebook.
