Asus UL80J-BBK5 review: Asus UL80J-BBK5

Asus UL80J-BBK5

Good graphics performance; slim design.

Weak battery life; low-voltage Core i3 processor is slower than other Core i3 laptops; too much keyboard flex.

The thin design and Nvidia Optimus automatic graphics switching on the Asus UL80J-BBK5 are appealing, but the underperforming CPU and battery life on this compact 14-incher are disappointments.

Asus UL80J-BBK5 Laptop Review

At first glance, there's a lot to like about the thin Asus UL80J-BBK5. A 14-inch screen, Core i3 processor, Nvidia Optimus graphics switching, and a DVD burner suggest a complete ...

Laptop reviews: Asus UL80J-BBK5 and the Sony VAIO VPCF12AFM/H

Today we'll look at two excellent laptops that could replace your desktop computer, the Asus UL80J-BBK5 and the Sony VAIO VPCF12AFM/H. As always, which one you choose will depend on what you value most, with questions of portability, power, performance...

The keyboard is spacious and employs chiclet-style keys that give good feedback and are easy to type on. The touch pad is also spacious and responsive. The only negative in terms of the touch pad would be that it smudges easily. Rounding out the...

"Not only is this unit defective but Asus couldnt fix it"

I would have taken it to back to best buy but I was tired of returning defective laptops. First a Compaq, then Asus....here's a hint...never buy taped boxes, especially from Best Buy

the Con far outweighs any pro

This unit seems to have been manufactured with incompatible components. Internet video stream results in freeze and blue screen. After three attempts by Asus to fix it, i gave up and bought something else that works...Never purchase Asus..what a joke

Best Buy Scam

I received a gift card for graduation for Best Buy, forcing me to shop there. Once there, Best Buy consultants continually pushed this model on me (most likely trying to get these horrible things off their shelves) and charged me 900 dollars. I was...

Attractive Design

Crashes all the time; unable to wake up from sleep; battery quit working within a year; Screen often goes blank; has a hard time doing simple tasks such as web browsing; overall awful computer for an awful price!

Decent Computer,Decent Price

Bright and Vivid Screen ; Good GPU for Computer Size ; Good CPU ; Keyboard Flex helps my typing ; Speakers sound good despite their location

Wireless is this computers downfall...right out of the box I had blue screen after blue screen until I put in another wireless adapter, fn+f2 does no good ; Because of the good GPU and CPU the computer can get above 180 Degrees Fahrenheit while playing...

wifi hint

I have never needed to restart my laptop to solve the wifi problem. simply hit the wifi switch on and off (with the fn keys or the laptop switch) and when it comes back up on your screen click it on with your mouse. annoying, but a quick fix.

Cost, Asus service, look and feel

the fact the wifi problem exists, odd HD partitions
