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?).

Hi Asus,Think a backlit keyboard might be a user replaceable option at a later date?- Mike

I agree back-lit keyboards are really nice. It definitely swing my decision over to buying an Asus in a heartbeat if I knew the UL80/UL30 series had back-lit keyboards...

Though this generation of UL notebooks gets most everything right, think I speak for many when I stress my disappointment with the CULV market... Most notable missing feature, integrated lighting. When stuck in airports and dark planes (trains and automobiles), us road warriors spend most of our time on the notebook. CULV and Asus V technology cures the battery ailment, but still not the lack of light. Suppose I could keep using this stupid usb flexy thing for now, with serious eye fatigue and gets in the way of the screen or typing (your pick). Oh well, still debating whether to fork up close to a G on this rig, or wait for the next generation and hope my prayers are finally answered...Sad in DC,Mike Though this generation of UL notebooks gets most everything right, think I speak for many when I stress my disappointment with the CULV market...

Pawan, the warranty is fully valid in Canada and anywhere in the world.We are working to bring the products up on Amazon.ca. I expect the UL80VT will be available by mid November on Amazon.ca.

Based on reading notebookcheck.net, the G210 is comparable to the ATI 4330 and Nvidia 9500

The ASUSs with "-A#" have longer battery lives than the ones with "-X#" The UL30VT has a better graphics card (dedicated card in addition to an intergrated one) than the UL30A which just has integrated graphics.

The A10-4600M also has 512mb VRAM, but it is a slightly better IGPU; I went from the A4-4300M to the A10 and noticed a massive difference.

The Crucial site describes the 800mhz as "CL=6" and the 667mhz as "CL=5". CL=5 is faster than CL=6. With that taken into consideration, wouldn't the 667mhz memory be faster than the 800mhz when the FSB is running at 667 mhz?

It isn't just DDR. The UL50Vt has discrete nVidia 210M graphics, in addition to built in graphics. They are switchable, so you can turn off the discrete graphics when the battery begins to drain in order to work longer without having to find an outlet. The UL50A just has the built in graphics.

For starters the A10-7850K is the more recent line of their APUs. It has a better integrated gpu than the older 6600k, so you could game at a slightly higher quality than with the old integrated gpu of the 6600k.In terms of raw performance I believe the A10-7850K has a higherclock speed. But because this and the older 6600k are overckockable, you could gain higher than advertised clock speeds...granted you have proper cooling for the processor since I guarantee the stock cooler is not enough when you decide to overclock.

Sure! My CPU is 4770k @ 4.4Ghz and it feels more than enough for a single 780. Have in mind that with so many on-coming games, most-likely designed on next-gen consoles, 3GB VRAM could not be enough on 1080p and if I try to push "ultra" settings passing the 3GB mark then the nightmare begins (stutters, lag, etc.) I've seen most of the games I play topping-out my EVGA 780 3GB FTW ACX DUAL with "high" settings @ 1080p. Also many people claim that Watch_Dogs do favor 3+GB VRAM but I can't tell. I'm planning to sell my 780 FTW and get 780 6GB from another mfg. Hope this help!

Y50 is way better choice. Not all games are SLI compatible(Titanfall got after many months and still not perfectly compatible). So in many games single 750M can hardly run in Medium settings in 1080p. I've had occasional screen tearing issues for BF4 due to the way SLI rendering.860m is equivalent to 770m in performance(fps) with less heat dissipation. For Single player games i5(dual core) is plenty; i7(quad core) shows its prowess in Multiplayers(Battlefield4 64player conquest etc..) Just note that Y50 got terrible screen with washed out colors worse than y510p(check notebookcheck.net site for details). I suggest to take a look in person before buying y50.

It should those 800Mhz memory modules were in production back then, yet if your cpu is fast enough and the motherboard in the Dell supports them ; the 1066 Mhz memory modules might be a better choose to get instead. If you are after a faster system; why not get memory modules that will go the max speed it can go? They are only a little bit more expensive than the 800's are, yet are much more up to date than the 800's.

Thanks Superhero Jonathan! So helpful. I guess I am watching to see when UL80VT comes back into stock here in the next 24-48 hours if the Asus rep is right.

The Titan is a more power full card, it will be unitell the titan ultra is released. If you plan on running more than one display get the Titan, I'm running 3 47' hs tv's so I got 3 Titans, I run crysis 3 maxed perfectly across all three screens at a resolution of 5790 x 1080 :) the 780 is also intended for multi display setups. If you sli three or four of them you'll have a bad ass setup! If you use one of these cards across a multi setup you won't be maxing but you will still be able to support a wide field of view. If you plan on just running one screen get the 780, it will be overkill for a few years. The Titan will obviously be maxing games for a longer period of time.... hope this helps The Titan is a more power full card, it will be unitell the titan ultra is released.

The GV-N65TOC-1G is marginally faster though I would suspect that they would perform similarly. In Crysis you would see about a 5 frame drop on the '650 Ti' vs the '650 Ti OC'.

I can not say, several years since I played some good games such as WoW and etc,. I do understand that this quad core is more of a mid performance, very fast. If you played WoW on a dual core, this quad core will move. Also it has Windows 8 which has several performance improvements over Windows 7, you will get a free upgrade if I am correct to Windows 8.1 in next 2 months. I have not overwhelmed this pc running video and spreadsheets at the same time; you may want to check with WoW website what their recommendation is for WoW MoP. I suspect that you will be covered with this GW ur12 model. Good luck and have a good day.

I got my UL80VT and it was able to play Call of Duty: World at War and Batman: Arkham Asylum perfectly at native 1366x768, though you have to turn the settings down to medium to get smooth gameplay in both games.

Whatever you buy be sure to select 'Intel' processor products NOT AMD..! I burned my hand by getting a A6 AMD (1450) even. Damn slow, even after adding 10GB memory does not help. I7 or I5 is the best even I3 ought to be ok. Yes, my 11.6 ultra is super light compared to my 16" or 17" laptop, but I cannot work long enough on 11.6" because of small screen view. I use Alt & '+' to increase the font size. I use glass to read. So 11.6" i will give to someone.

the ftw version is clocked higher so you get more power out of cores, a regular is around 863mhz and the ftw is around 980mhz, and then boosted from a regular 900mhz to around 1033mhz. this all enables the cards to do tessellations faster thus increased performance. and yeah, its a single.

Thanks John. I bought the machine with two 2.8 ghz, 2 gb ram 320 gb hard drive, superdrive, airport, etc. I plan on purchasing extra RAM online, maybe at B&H.; I will hook up external harddrives for more storage for the present, eventually getting more hard-drives. I don't really understand the whole RAID discussion. As for screens, after a lot of research, I went for the NEC 2080Wuxi2 with the software. I think the LaCie seems just as good, the Eizo reputedly better, but I want some screen space. THe B&H; store has custom set-ups for photography. One thing they have is blue-tooth which seems absent hereThanks again. Thanks John.
