Mike,

Awesome review. Thanks a lot.

I am deciding between the ASUS UL-3X and the Acer Timeline. After reading your review and other users’ comments, I think I will opt for the ASUS over the Acer. I was in the store to look at both and the build and feel of the ASUS is indeed superior.

Have you had a chance to review the ASUS UL-35JC? That is actually the one I am considering right now and I am very close to plunking down cash to seal the deal.

Thanks again!

I have used many laptops, but ASUS UL30A, is the best I have ever met.
Most of all, it light in weight and long batterlife makes is a good travelling companion. Great !

well, it’s complicated. the pros for ul30a: more solid, better built, more powerful in every tasks (better cpu). Pros for 1215n: better graphics (mainly on games), more compact. However, there’s also the Ul30VT and the UL30JC you could consider, with better graphics also, but more expensive.

Hi Mike,

I realize this review is pretty old compared to your latest one on the asus 1215n.

Can you do a comparison of between the 1215n and this ul30a, as they seem pretty similar and for some reason equally priced?

Which would you recommend? They don’t seem to different from each other…

Yea, you can surely play 1080p movies with that. I previously tested it on another laptop and it worked perfectly as long as you have all the needed codecs installed.

Hey Mike, do you think it is possible to play full HD 1080p movies with Su7300 and GMA4500HD ?
Thanks
