Beh May 24, 2010 Tostapane
On my first one the right speaker made an irritating buzzing sound at frequencies of about 1kHz. It was replaced free of charge and the second one is better, though the speakers are not exceptional and the sound quality improves if you squeeze the plastic over the speaker lightly, which suggests that part could have been constructed a bit better.
The multitouch track pad thing works pretty well, though it's not well delineated texturally from the rest of the palm rest area, so it occasionally gets leaned on or missed, resulting in accidental jumping between windows or whatever.
Other than that, it's light and thin and looks good; behaves as advertised and overall very good performance for the price.
Great buy! May 13, 2010 R. Leroux (Montréal, QC) I ordered this computer a month ago and I'm very happy with it. I've been a longtime Asus customer, and this is by far the best laptop I've ever bought from them.
It's small, feels solid and looks great! I'm a student, so I need a computer that I can carry with me easily, and this one suits my needs perfectly!.
The thing that impresses me the most is the battery life, as I can last easily up to 8 or 9 hours without charging. When I see my class mates strugling to find a free power outlet, I don't regret my choice.
Performance is very solid for the price, the laptop is reactive, even when i'm gaming or when I'm using cpu intensive programs like Photoshop or watching HD movies.
I've seen some negative comments about the touch pad, it certainly takes some time to get used to, and in my opinion it's not as smooth as Mac's touch pads, but it's ok.
The only (minor) problem is the viewing angles, they're very narrow. I say that it's a minor problem because you can always change your screen orientation on a laptop.
I would recommend this laptop to anyone looking for portability without sacrificing performance.
Great Buy April 26, 2010 m477 (Toronto) Pros: huge HD, bright screen, amazing battery life, perfect mobile size and weight, nicest keyboard on any laptop I've used, tonnes of memory, multitouch touchpad is great.
Cons: Bloatware is annoying (I got rid of it all), touchpad buttons are hard to press (I just use the touchpad tap), no Firewire port.
I love this machine. Haven't missed the lack of a DVD drive.
Everything they say it is April 17, 2010 Badwich (Toronto) I purchased this unit as a summer backup to my long in the tooth Dell Inspiron 8600 and although I haven't used it a whole lot I'm impressed. I did a fair bit of research before buying this thin & light and it seemed to offer the most bang for the buck. It's really quick to fire up, has a great display and wonderful battery life compared to the Dell and Acer netbook I purchased last year. I was worried about the screen size as I stream stock data most days but it's so sharp there's no problemo.
I searched high and low for this Asus having watched a CNET video but Amazon was the only place I could get one so no price comparisons. Read the specs and features! It has the most horsepower/feature combo of any thin light out there (as of 4 weeks ago)and when you're buying new you don't want old school unless it's really inexpensive.
I'm hoping ASUS the computer matches the quality of their motherboards of years gone by.
You won't be disappointed with the UL30Vt-X1's performance.
Everything but... April 15, 2010 R. Angeles (Hamilton, ON Canada) This is a really good machine. This is my forth laptop through the years and this is probably the best so far. It's really fast really light (just like a netbook that I had) and the battery life is unbeatable. If you prefer performance over battery life, you can always switch to high performance over battery life. The Express gate is great for emails and chatting. It takes 5 seconds to open, you'll be surprised that you'll be on your email by 8 seconds. It has everything I need but I have 2 bad experiences with it. It has some glare issues, you have to view the laptop at a perfect angle to truly appreciate the graphics. Second issue I had was the finger print problems. I thought it wasn't really a problem because I send I didn't care if my laptop get's dirty. But when I got this, it drove me nuts... You literally see the oil from your skin in the palm rest, it was a very uncomfortable sight to the extent that I felt like not placing my palms in the palm rest.... Fortunately, they sell keypad protectors/covers which I customized to cover both the keypads and the palm rest. Now I can work undistracted... I thought I needed OCD pills... Overall, this is a great laptop especially for the price. But it you have issues with cleanliness, don't buy it. ASUS should really do something with this fingerprint issue...
