At half the price of a Mac Book I couldn't be more pleased with my new Asus Ul30a. It's sleek, light, and fast. I'm just an average computer user and was impressed at how easy the notebook was to set up and begin using. The built in wireless works flawlessly for connecting to wifi networks and I was unexpectedly impressed with Windows 7 (I expected to hate it!). The most impressive thing about the Asus (besides the light weight) is that the battery life is indeed 7+ hours. This notebook pretty much does everything they claim it will as advertised which is a refreshing experience for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a nice notebook at a fantastic price.

I already own a Samsung NC10 and an Apple MacBook (the old black version) and was looking for something in between - faster than the NC10 and lighter than the MacBook, essentially a very portable (thin and light) 13" laptop that I could use to work on Ubuntu (dual boot) as well as Windows 7 for iTunes, movies, Kindle book reader, etc. At first I considered buying the more expensive "Vt" versions with dual video cards (native Intel and dedicated Nvidia) but I opted for this more basic laptop with the Intel graphics and it's been a really pleasant surprise. Movies and YouTube look great (no jitters), and Ubuntu runs with all its extra visual effects. The screen is very glossy and bright and fine for outdoor use, the 500GB disk is large enough to dual boot Ubuntu and also carry a copy of your iTunes library, and the 4GB RAM is more than I'm ever likely to need.
Unlike other reviewers I have not found the keyboard to be bouncy or have any unwanted travel - in fact it's nicer than my old Apple MacBook keyboard. Also, I really love the trackpad and find the 2-finger scrolling to be exactly like my Apple laptop (except it could do with being a tiny bit less sensitive). I'm getting about 6 hours of battery life but I'm not using any energy-saving features. For me 6 hours is enough, but if you need more then check out the "Vt" models which include 5600mAh batteries, e.g. the ASUS UL30Vt-X1 which also includes Bluetooth. (I guess not having Bluetooth is a bit of a pain for cellphone connectivity).
I also love the multi-card reader which works fine with both my Sony Cybershot and my Canon Sureshot cameras. This is a real benefit because I don't need to travel with all those USB cables.
All in all, I'm super-happy with this laptop and expect to be using it for work and play for at least the next 2 years. Awesome!

I am not a gamer, so made the financial decision to purchase the X5 rather than the A1 because I didn't need the enhanced graphics capabilities.
This is a very attractive, eye-catching unit: I receive compliments every time I open it in public.
It's fast, it's quiet, it has VERY long battery life, and it does what it's supposed to do.
Caveats: Yes, it is a fingerprint magnet -- there isn't a surface you can touch on which you won't leave a print or smudge. But it cleans as easily as it smudges. Yes, the screen does have a limited viewing angle. But how often do you change your vertical position while using a computer. Yes, it does come with an enormous amount of pre-installed software. But it does give you the option of reformatting the hard drive to remove partitions and only install what you want.
There is no reason to complain about the trackpad -- it's easy to use and works like a charm.
So far, then, so good. I've owned laptop and notebook computers from Tandy, IBM, Dell, Toshiba, and Fujitsu -- this is my first Asus.

I was so excited to get this laptop. I read all the reviews, all the major tech sites rated this laptop high. When I got the laptop I was so disappointed.
Keyboard: Cheap and made too much noise. It was so flexible I thought I was going to break it.
Screen: You are not going to be able to see what's on the screen at any angle. Way too much glare, I don't understand how there could be this much glare on a plastic screen.
Touch mouse pad: Hands down the worst touch pad I have ever used. You can't tell when your finger slips off the pad because of the lack of texture. The gestures just don't work, in fact they make things worse, I had to turn them off.
Finger Prints: I was so happy to get a laptop that was covered in aluminum. I thought that the aluminum would be resistant to fingerprints like the Macbooks. I was so so very wrong. The outside of the Asus is a fingerprint magnet, the inside was full of cheap glossy plastic. It got disgusting dirty after light use. Cheap cheap cheap. Why can't any laptop maker other then some of the Sony's products and Apple make a laptop that doesn't look like you dropped a bottle of grease on it after picking it up. Where the heck did all of this glossy plastic come from!!!!
Unless you absolutely have to have a laptop with super battery life (as in you won't be by a single outlet for 6 hours) I would stay away far away...
I miss my IBM thinkpad T41.... :( IBM can you please get back into the hardware business...

I needed a lightweight laptop but no too short. This is it. The only thing I miss is the DVD recorder.
