ASUS UL80Vt-A1 Reviews
GoodGearGuide reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“It’s well built, it has a Core 2 Duo CPU and 4GB of RAM, but most importantly, it’s not too heavy and its battery life is excellent (even with the charging problem we experienced with our test model). Consider it if you want a well-featured laptop for the road that’s bigger, much faster and easier to use than a netbook or low-cost slimline laptop…”

Digitalversus reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“Though it has a dedicated graphics card and a dual-core CPU, the Asus UL80Vt managed to hold up for nearly 5 hours (4 hours, 55 minutes) playing continuous video (display set to 100 cd/m², headphones plugged in and Wi-Fi disabled). That’s only 25 minutes less than the Acer Aspire Timeline 5810T, though that model has significantly lower performance. The good battery life is due to the use of a 5600 mAh eight-cell battery… ”

Hothardware reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“For those in the market for a notebook that’s somewhat larger than an ultraportable, yet smaller than a full framed 15″ or 16″ multimedia notebook, the UL80Vt strikes a great balance. It’ll handle 1080p movie clips without issue, it can be switched to use integrated graphics to save battery life (without needing a reboot), it’ll handle light / medium-duty gaming, and the keyboard is amazing… ”
Vrzone reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“The UL80Vt lasted an impressive 4hr 22min 22sec on the Batter Eater’05 Pro v2.70 full drain tests. This means that with power saving options turned on, the unit should be able to last more than 8 to 10 hours before needing to recharge. When the power cable is removed, the ASUS automatically switched from Nvidia graphics to Intel integrated graphics to conserve energy… ”
Techreport reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“The keyboard is one of those new-age chiclet designs, and I quite like the layout. There’s a decent border around each key, making it easy to keep track of where one’s hands are without looking down. This attribute is particularly helpful when typing at speed in the dark, although an LED backlight for the keyboard would be even more useful…”
Notebook Review reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“Coupled with 4GB of RAM and a quick 320GB hard drive, the UL80Vt is more than capable of handling everyday tasks and more intensive applications, and the Nvidia graphics card allows for casual gaming. ”
PCmag reviews the ASUS UL80Vt-A1 and writes;
“In terms of 3D performance, the UL80Vt-A1 did extremely well. So well, in fact, that its 3DMark06 scores surpassed those of the MacBook Pro 13-inch, which also runs on an Nvidia chipset. ”

“The 14.0-inch, 1366 x 768 glossy display provided bright, sharp images in our testing. While watching a DVD of Dark City and a 720p video stream of Fringe from Fox.com, playback was smooth, and colors were true with minimal noise and no pixelation. ”

Best Laptop Ever! My first review! Cuz it rocks that much! by M.Hwang
Rating: 




“…Great speed – I just ran World of Warcraft and it runs SMOOTH with mid-high setting. I also saw from another review that this can run Farcry2 or Crysis2 at 40fps which is pretty damn good. LED screen – This takes some getting used to since I’m not used to seeing such rich black on monitor but it looks bright, crisp, and shiny…”
Ultraportable with Excellent Performance and So-So Build Quality, by Brandon
Rating: 




“…Yesterday, I used the laptop for 3 hours early in the morning with wifi on and brightness up. Later that day, I used it for about 15 minutes running Batman: AA. I then used it about 7 hours more with brightness at about 20% (2.5 hours with wifi on and 4.5 with it off). In total the laptop lasted me 10.25 hours between a mixture of wifi, gaming, and note taking/paper writing. I was extremely happy to get this excellent of performance out of it. This was precisely what I was looking for in terms of battery life. …”
Great laptop, ok display by James
Rating: 




“…The only reason I’m writing this review is to caution people about the display. If it is not that important to you than this is a great laptop. It’s speedy, fairly well made, great battery life, relatively thin and light, and windows 7 rocks. If the display was better it would get 5 stars….”
