UL30vt? Will we have to wait longer for a 13" with Turbo overclock features?

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.

No, it may seem a little low(especially for a i7 core) , but this is an ultrabook. With turbo boost, its 2.9 (Max).

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.

Been using a N52 for years, but it's on its last legs. Still not released. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was hoping it'd be out by X-mas. :(

No one appreciates forward thinking more than I do, but consider that this model already sports a dual-core processor. It also has nearly 4 Gb of RAM (enough for one of the two 64-bit cores) and a relatively small screen. My point is this: for $300.00 it is an outstanding value. I use my quad-core machine with 16 Gb (RAM) desktop to do the heavy processing in my life - this machine is perfect for the periphery work that I do whenever I'm not at home. Can the processor be upgraded? Perhaps - but with much difficulty. And yes it is soldered in but that isn't the main issue here. Quad core, Hex core, and everything on up would require a RAM upgrade to utilize those processors effectively - otherwise one may be throwing $$$s and time out of the window when it may be more cost and time efficient to simply buy a more powerful netbook, laptop, etc. with the power-user features already baked in. I hope this helps.

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.

Anybody know if you can use DDR3 RAM 1066 MHz; like they use on the all the other UL series (UL30, UL80 with the SU7300) with the same processors. It would be faster and use less power.

This is the latest model... 2013 was the manufacturing year, I have had no major issues with it. Its not a computer so you will need to allow for a initial efficient load time for smooth function off the bat. It has a lot of programs to boot. Install firmware update immediately, improves functions a lot... Love it!

See the "release date for U50Vg-AM1" thread. A buyer got 3.5-4 hours. Very nice of him to provide this info as Asus is anything but forthcoming on the battery life of the backlit keyboard models.

Any updates on this laptop 'A1' w.r.t to the availability folks? I put myself on the pre ordered and waiting list too but nothings happened for about 5 days..Anyone started receiving them yet?

I have UL50VT and love it. It's a very solid notebook, with good performance. As far as the keyboard goes, I like it. I have also gotten used to the touchpad. It was annoying that they went with this dimpled touchpad instead of the outstanding matte rubber touchpad that the U50 has. That's not because the dimpled one is bad, it's because the U50's was so nice. I even liked it better than the ones on the Mac Book Pros that I tried. Anyway, you will not be disappointed if you choose to go with the VT.

Hello, sorry for the confusion. I wrote the review mentioning the DVI, but I accidentally posted it on the wrong device. The DVI will be available on the NEXT version of the MVP22U+IPS (v3), which will be out in a few weeks/months, I believe. I have deleted the review on the v2, and will post it again when the v3 is available.

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.

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.
