Engadget was able to get 12 hours and 15 min. out of the UL80Vt(using the intel GPU, the 4500MHD, of course), which had Intel GPU + NVIDIA G210M. The new UL80JT has Intel GPU + NVIDIA G310M, so the results should be about the same, since the Core i7 CPU is still a CULV cpu.

The review of the UL80Vt is linked in the article already, so check it out, if you haven't already.]]>Jan 11th 2010 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/Jan 12th 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://bit.ly/ASUS-UL80JT-Details]]>Jan 13th 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/Jan 11th 2010 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/

12 hours is with the higher capacity battery they offer so keep that in mind if you look at any benchmarks.]]>Jan 11th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/
I am amazed by the fact that it switches graphic card by the second, not by the battery life claims.

I will be happy if a Core i7 last 4 hours on a laptop but I mostly use laptops plugged in anyways.]]>Jan 12th 2010 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/Jan 11th 2010 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/Jan 12th 2010 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/Jan 11th 2010 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/

And the G210 was actually a minor update as well. With Nvidias arbitrary and constantly changing naming convention (310 designation only on OEMs), its near impossible to keep track of whats what.

Nvidia shenanigans aside, this is still an AMAZING machine and the hybrid graphics do enhance performance and battery life. Well done Asus!

Errrrrrrrrrrrr ipod is better which is why more people buy them. Go tell your competing companies to learn to compete which is why they laid down for years until Apple brought out the ipod touch before they started bringing out theirs.

That part of the warranty will easily add a minimum of $300 to your purchase and is usually only avail to business accounts. For your run of the mill user, may cost anywhere from $400 and up.

I'm comparing this to our Dell and HP warranty contracts. On a $1200 dollar machine, $300 is easily 4 year warranty

But if you've got it, and are that paranoid, go for it.]]>Jan 11th 2010 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/Given the video work I do, I would pay for it. With Dell I'd gladly pay $300 for a 4 year NBD warranty. I've had motherboards die on my XPS m1330 and my Lattitude E6400. The warranty for the E6400 was only another $100. Downtime is definitely important and no matter where I am in the country, I can always count on getting NBD support from Dell. Can Asus offer that? Like I said, companies can make great products, but I expect top notch support as well, even if it's costs and should be available. Dell offers the best repair support of any company (for those willing to pay). I've had experiences with HP and Lenovo. Both are garbage.]]>Jan 11th 2010 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/11/asus-ul80jt-spotted-with-automatic-switchable-graphics-brags-12/
