    Now there is an even bigger reason to get the UL Series by ASUS. Adding to a whole trophy case of awards is the latest 2009 Editor's Choice Award by Engadget. Voted by Engadget's editorial staff as LAPTOP OF THE YEAR, the UL series is the ultimate companion for your mobile computing needs.





    The most thoughtful notebook warranty package is icing on the cake.

    Most other brands only offer 1 year of warranty service, and can charge up to $100 for an additional year. ASUS UL80Vt-A1 come standard with a 2-Year Global Warranty and more*:

  • Thirty-days flawless display guarantee
  • Free two-way standard shipping
  • 24-hour tech support seven days a week

  • Plus ASUS Accidental Damage Protection: ASUS UL80Vt-A1 also come with a One Year Accidental Damage Warranty protecting the notebook from drops, fire, spills, and surge.**

    Also check out what the media has to say about the ASUS UL80Vt series notebooks:
    AnandTech: "... the UL80Vt is one of the best laptops we've looked at in a long time... If you've ever considered buying a netbok simply because they're small and get good batter life, the UL80Vt is like a netbook on steroids. It will easily provide twice the performance of your typical Intel Atom-based netbook, and it can do that while still going toe to toe in terms of battery life..."

    5 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons for ASUS UL80Vt   September 3, 2010
    SS (taiwan)
    It is my second ASUS laptop, and I have been testing it for a week. Here is my review:

    Pros:
    1. Reasonably priced: Asus UL80Vt is definitely in the lower price range ($709 on Amazon), but very nicely built that actually succeeds other comparable brands.
    2. Very good customer support: it has 2 years global warranty, plus 1 year of accident warranty. I called the service line twice since I got the computer. I have no communication problem with the technicians.
    3. Very fast: there is no lag when I play computer games that require high processing speed. Other than entertainment, it is also a good work computer with its high capacity. I use it to process imaging data.
    4. Long lasting battery: I would say it lasts for 7 to 8 hours, for surfing webs or working on Word.
    5. Great color: the glossy screen is definitely a plus. The color is very high contrast, vivid, and bright.
    6. Fast turn-on: it takes less than 30 sec to load Windows 7.
    7. Extremely cold: ASUS has been very good at making the computer stays at low temperature, even under stress. It constantly stays lukewarm and would not burn your lap.
    8. Very quiet.

    Cons:
    1. Touch pad is too sensitive: I had the same problem with other older Asus series. It is particularly problematic when typing. The pointer would jump, and I would be typing at the wrong line. I assumed it is a problem with the oversensitive Touch Pad.
    2. Screen blinks when playing DVD: For some DVDs, the picture would turn blank and back on at randomly moments. According to ASUS tech support, it can be fixed by downloading ASUSDVD 8.
    3. It screams!? It is the second time it happened to my ASUS computers, so I think it might be a common problem and worth noting. Somehow the speaker would make high pitch noise when I close the lid with power on. My old ASUS had similar squeaking problem after the warranty is over. I would definitely ask them to fix the squeaking problem for my new ASUS.

    Overall, I love ASUS computer, and would recommend to anyone! Even though it is not a big brand in USA, it is pretty well-known in Asia (Made in Taiwan). GREAT product.



    5 out of 5 stars Great laptop   August 31, 2010
    DHarvey
    I purchased this laptop after looking around for a couple of weeks. I needed decent specs, 14" screen and great battery life. I got everything I needed in this laptop. I read up on this alot the only drawbacks were build quality and the trackpad. As far as mine is concerned I have absolutly no problems. The build quality is great I have no spaces in my casing and no squeeks, I'm also not able to push the palm rest down at all. I also have no problems with the trackpad the 2 finger scroll is a little quirky bug it does work. To use the trackpad correctly you just have to apply easy pressure. I've onlyused it for 4 days now but so far so great. Lastly in full power mode I'm able to use Autocad 2011 in 2d mode with no hiccups or stutters. A+ laptop !


    5 out of 5 stars Great Laptop!!   August 30, 2010

    Although I'm not a computer genius, I can tell you this is a nice laptop for a good price. It has alot of nice features including a super battery life!!

    4 out of 5 stars Good speed and graphics card for the price   August 30, 2010
    California
    Arrived quickly and I was fully impressed, I got exactly what I was looking for. The 1.3 ghz was concerning me but after running Gears of war on it flawlessly I have no more worries. Laptop runs cool for the most part, screen is usually ice cold weird. Great product for college student, the express gate feature allows you to boot up in ten seconds, and Asus just made another solid product
