Asus UL80JT (Core i3 330UM 1.2GHz review: Asus UL80JT (Core i3 330UM 1.2GHz

Nvidia Optimus switchable graphics; slim design.

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

A thin design and Nvidia Optimus automatic-switching graphics make the Asus UL80JT-A1 an initially appealing laptop, but looks can be misleading: the underwhelming CPU and battery life are both serious negatives.

ASUS UL80Vt-A1

At 14 inches, the UL80Vt's widescreen is a good balance between portability and screen real estate. At these prices, don't expect advanced screen technologies; it gives you average brightness levels and viewing angles and a plain 1,366-by-768...

ASUS UL80Vt-A1 14-Inch Laptop

The ASUS UL80Vt-A1 is one of a newer bread of laptops with a ultra low voltage processors. The ultra low voltages give the computer extended battery life because of reduced power consumption and at the same time allow much thinner and lighter designs.

Three USB ports are available, audio output, line input, microphone input and built-in microphone and webcam are amongst the other extras.

Asus UL80Vt Thin-And-Light Notebook Review

The first thing that came to mind when we tore the Asus UL80Vt from its box was this: "Hmm, this seems familiar." Turns out, the UL80Vt isn't all that different on the surface than the 13.3" UL30A that we reviewed back in September, but just because...

Windows 7 Runs Buttery Smooth ; Great Value At $800-900 ; Switchable GPUs ; Good Keyboard ; Great Battery Life ; Ultra Quiet And Cool ; Well-Rounded ; Built-in DVD Burner

Glossy Display ; Low Resolution Panel ; Lackluster Trackpad ; Overload Of Palm Rest Stickers ; Only A 5400RPM HDD

In our SiSoftware Sandra tests, the UL80Vt trailed the reference systems in the CPU benchmarks, but managed to match up well against rivaling components in other areas. Even though the benchmarks were somewhat low in the CPU specific tests, never felt...

Asus' UL80Vt 14-inch notebook

Regardless of what you think of netbooks, the surprise success of Intel's Atom CPU has definitely had a positive impact on the mobile market. The popularity of sub-$400 Atom-based systems no doubt prompted the introduction of Intel's Consumer...

According to our price search engine, the UL80Vt-A1 is currently selling for around $825 online. Amazon is also running a deal that'll get you the system and a $100 gift card for $824, with free shipping to boot. Even with that pseudo discount, the...

ASUS UL80Vt notebook

A light ASUS notebook with plenty of battery life

Long battery life, relatively light, GeForce graphics adapter, runs cool

No ExpressCard slot, no FireWire, no eSATA

If a reasonably thin and light notebook with excellent battery life sounds like your cup of tea, then the ASUS UL80Vt is for you. At 14in it's easy to use, yet not a burden to carry around. It's well built, looks good and performs well, but it does...

Great buy

Bought this computer to replace my old HP laptop that ran slow. I've had this computer for a month now and I still love it. Touch screen works great, I'm a fan of windows 8. If there ever is a problem it is easy to fix, nothing major. It's the perfect...

Awesome product for the money

Replaced my Samsung Tab 2 10.1 as I'm not a fan of Apps, as most don't take you to a full featured program. Not a fan of Windows 8 yet, but have found work arounds to make it bearable. The Ultrabook was the ideal replacement as it was small,...
