ASUS UL80Vt review: thin and light on a budget

By Laura June (engadget.com)

With the release of Windows 7 has come a serious onslaught on new laptops. Great news for us, since we love choices -- but we don't really get a chance to take them all for a spin. ASUS's UL80Vt caught our eye for a few reasons. The company's ...

ASUS UL80Vt - Review of the ASUS UL80Vt (Vt-A1)

By Avram Piltch (laptopmag.com)

All-day battery life, Good graphics performance, Thin design with DVD drive, Loud speakers, Fast Boot feature

Mushy keyboard, Limited display viewing angles, Lid picks up fingerprints quickly

Think of it as the best of both worlds. ASUS' UL80Vt, the latest member of the company UL Series, matches Intel's budget- and endurance-minded Ultra-Low Voltage processor with a powerful Nvidia graphics chip, giving this $849 14-inch thin-and-light ...

Best 14" or smaller laptop in existence

By Dan (newegg.com)

If Asus did the following, this would be the ultimate laptop you could buy:

Let me start by saying I was looking to buy the best laptop I could. I had no problem spending 2k or more on a laptop, if I found something I liked

Not a fan of the one piece trackpad button. Glossy plastic picks up fingerprints like nothing else. Does not have a backlit keyboard or bluetooth. .3 MP webcam is pretty low quality. Screen quality and resolution could easily be better

Great laptop, bad screen!

By James (newegg.com)

If this laptop had a better quality screen, not even a higher resolution, I would give it 5 stars because for the money, it really is awesome. I'll leave you with this, if I could return this laptop for a full refund I absolutely would, only because of th...

Awesome performance for the size and weight. Overclocking feature and battery management are top notch. I can easily get 7 hours out of this thing with pretty heavy use. Relatively thin and lite, attractive design, and good all around build. Not perfect b...

THE SCREEN! It is the worst laptop screen I have used. I've owned and used about 15 laptops over the last couple years and this one is the worst I've seen, even netbooks have better screens. The contrast ratio is very low, making everything look washed ou...

Terrific Machine

By TNC (newegg.com)

I prefer the old 4:3 ratio screen. Or at least something with a 1024 pixel height, so a higher resolution screen would be beneficial in keeping the vertical visibility of web pages adaquate. There is a bit of a warm spot (but not hot) on the bottom back l...

Battery life!!!!!!! The first battery only run was in the neighborhood of 8-9 hours of average use, on wifi, surfing, and loading the new software applications

A better screen resolution would add greatly to an already great machine. The touch pad takes some getting used to. I seem to place my thumb on the pad whenever I type, which the computer interprets as a click, and sends the cursor off to never never land...
