The product looks good, but the touch pad is bad and camera's pixel is too low. I like its key board.

The laptop worked great until the NIC stopped working. The tech support was helpful in issuing the RMA for repair and the repair time was decent (2-3 biz days). The shipping to the repair location was also free. However, after I received it back from the repair, I found the top casing was not put back properly and more problems occurred. So, I quickly requested a second RMA and it was issued within 24 hours. But, that was when the bad news started. It's been on repair for more than 10 days now and the customer service still could not give me a straight-forward answer regarding what exactly went wrong and how much longer it would take to have the laptop repaired. It is a very frustrating experience to say the least. At the writing of this review, I still have not received the laptop back...

I received my silver asus ul80vt laptop today, and I absolutely love it! This is my first review, but I thought it was necessary because it was such a great deal! In the price range, (I bought it for around $750) this was top of the line. The battery life is incredible, it was delivered in excellent condition, and best of all it's lightweight! The screen is, in my opinion, of great quality. The viewing angles are not nearly as bad as some of the reviews I read, and the color is awesome! Also, it's the perfect size. It's small, but big enough so that you don't have to squint! It's about the size of a hard back textbook, but much thinner. The processor is great, and the hard drive is adequate. Internet connection works great, and the camera is a lot better quality than I was expecting. I was expecting to have trouble with the trackpad, but so far it seems normal to me. The only thing I noticed is that I tend to move the mouse with the base of my hand while typing on occasion, but that's nothing major. I have heard that asus makes the motherboards for mac computers, and while I considered splurging for a macbook pro, I couldn't justify the cost difference. I could buy TWO of these for the price of a mac and it has more features!

after only 3 months of having this computer the usb drives failed on me and refused to recognize any device as usb 2.0 - this led me to realize that asus HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. to compound my dissatisfaction with the purchasing experience overall, asus hasn't updated any of their PROPIETARY drivers since the laptops release. what this means is that you HAVE to use their drivers (if you want the system to operate in anything higher than 600x400 res.) and that your system wont be able to utilize flash 10.1 or the cuda architecture 3.0 (as it is stuck with 2.2)
when it works it works. the battery life for the first month was as promised at a whopping 11 hrs. although im now lucky to get 5 (in power save mode *and yes i did a clean install of the os and am running only the essential applications & drivers).
the bottom line is that if you are on the fence about this one, i implore you to consider avoiding ASUS. a good alternative would be the m15x or perhaps the sager NP8690. both are far more powerful and about the same price. I'll make sure to update this if i ever hear back from asus

To begin, this laptop is literally the best one I have ever used.
If you're interested in:
1. Using your laptop ALL DAY without plugging it in
2. A beautiful screen and great speakers
3. A solid, very comfortable chiclet keyboard
4. Excellent build quality with a gorgeous aluminum front(I literally get compliments)
5. Ability to play all kinds of videogames with completely acceptable frame rates.
I don't know if it's an issue with QC or if asus is shipping these with a new trackpad and monitor, but mine are excellent.
I play L4D2 on almost all medium settings, native 1366x768 resolution, and I have zero FPS lag. The wireless internet is also impeccable, I never drop signal and I always have excellent ping.
Counter-strike 1.6, CS source, Team Fortress 2 and Dungeons and Dragons Online all play on highest settings with zero lag.
Resident Evil 5 and Crysis play on medium-low(still looks great!) with 1366x768 at playable(not choppy whatsoever) framerates.
The screen is gorgeous for movies and etc, my laptop has a very wide visibility range. Someone said that you could see a dark gradient around the edges of the screen. I see nothing even similar to this in either video mode.
The keyboard is solid and very quiet, I've been typing this in class and I doubt my teacher can even hear me typing. Very easy to transition to, full size keyboard.
I never underclock the processor, turbo is always on and I'm @ 1.8ghz, and battery life is still incredible. I spent 5 hours straight taking notes and working on Blackboard assignments earlier today, I've been in this class taking notes and websurfing for 2 hours, using a flashdrive on and off, brightness is high enough that I could see while sitting in front of a window. So, 7hours of use and I'm at 52% battery. I played l4d for an hour and I had only dropped 20% battery. This thing is a monster of battery life.
It's small and light, not netbook light, but it's extremely portable and it's light in my backpack.
The wimps that have trouble pushing the trackpad buttons are obviously super wimps. It's not a challenge. The touchpad is very responsive and the two/three finger uses are integrated excellently.
However, my ONLY complaint lies in the touchpad. The surface creates excess drag, so I have to turn up my sensitivity in order to move the mouse as fast as I'd like to. It's just a friction thing, no big deal, only takes a little getting used to. I still love the crap out of this thing.
For less than $800, I've never made such a good purchase in my life.
