First and foremost, the CULV runs faster than the Dual Core Ion, also the graphics are stronger in the UL30Vt (210m > Ion) and then you have the switchable graphics and option to overclock 33% or not. This translates into a slightly larger machine than the 1201N(do note, though, that the UL30Vt is still THINNER) but with a better battery life. If memory serves me correct, the 1201N was said to get about 6-8 hours. The UL30Vt is said to get 12 hours.]]>Nov 23rd 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/Nov 23rd 2009 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/
If I am going to spend $800, then I would probably get a more powerful laptop. (I just bought a fully stocked 17 inch core i7 laptop for $1000 from HP)

If I am looking for a nice, small, portable computer for traveling, I would go for a netbook on the cheap with HD, like the 1210N. Its only $499.

For me Its just a waste of $800 for this mid level performer that I will only use sometimes, even if it looks nice.

Why don't you just add your own SSD?

And...

The overclocking is build in to go 33% faster (around 1.7 cpu) don't worry about frying it :)]]>Nov 23rd 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/Nov 23rd 2009 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/Nov 23rd 2009 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/Nov 23rd 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/

You're comparing a 11.6" netbook with a full spec ultra-portable notebook. The ul30vt will be slightly heavier by 3/4 of a pound even with a 13.3" lcd and 8-cell battery which will last close to 12hrs running with the integrated graphics + the flexibility to do some light gaming and graphics. So I would ask is the 1810t worth the $250 premium over a acer 751h netbook, which is much more closely related.]]>Nov 26th 2009 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/Nov 24th 2009 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/23/asus-ul30vt-available-for-pre-order-at-amazon/Dec 3rd 2009 11:13AM
