1. Does this laptop have lights for NumLock and CapsLock? Some laptops doesn't!! 2. The Graphic card, Is it Dedicated? And is it DDR or GDDR? And is it G/DDR 2, 3 or 5? 3. Does it have Bluetooth? 4. How long does the battery lasts?

As you mentioned, the main differences between the UL50Vt and UL50A are the discrete graphics and DDR3 vs. DDR2 RAM, and according to Best Buy's website, their UL50A is not Bluetooth enabled. If you're OK with not having the nVidia discrete graphics, then the Best Buy one seems to be a pretty good deal. I would stream a bunch of YouTube vids at full screen at Best Buy and if the video quality is solid (not jagged or stuttery), then you should be happy with the less expensive one. Also, supposedly the noticeable differences between DDR2 and 3 is neglible, so it all comes down to how much do you value the extra graphics and Bluetooth?

Dude, it says right on it what it has :Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M with 2GB GDDR5 - NVIDIA SLI Enabled. Hope this answers your question. I personally love the laptop, despite it missing a few of my favorite options that my Toshiba Qosmio does have.

It has been out of stock since July. There were some noticeable problems with these laptops (in design). Customer complaints about really bad backlight leaking, bent keyboards (in the middle), and the USB slots do not align with the outside shell. Hopefully ASUS tries to fix these issues for a second revision of this laptop. They are coming out with another line of ultrabooks with dedicated graphics minus the IPS screen (:-/). ASUS S Series (this month or next month will be the "official release")

I actually purchased this as a gift for a friend so my info is not first hand. However, she uses it daily (she's a blogger) and loves the machine. It is fast and has never "frozen" per her response. Key board is "normal" for a lap top but the sensitivity, I believe, can be adjusted. Not sure why discontinued...other than it seems most laptops, other than Apples', seem to constantly change models. Hope this helped...good luck!

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

I would also like to know about gaming on this laptop. I'm looking into a new laptop for myself, and as a gamer I would like to know how well games perform on this PC.

Thanks for the info thus far, Paul. I've been out of the country, lugging my 8 pound Dell Vostro around with me, wishing I had this baby. Sounds like the wifi card is good. Like the backlit keyboard? I assume the battery life will not be earth shatteringly long what with all the bells and whistles. The two reviews written thus far have provided about zero useful info, so if you can, keep it coming.

I just bought this laptop and I'm really liking it. I upgraded the drive to a 128 SSD and it's performing great! However, there's a sticker on the palmrest that says "Illuminated Chiclet Keyboard" and has the logo for an IF Design Award China next to it. I haven't found anything else that mentions an illuminated keyboard, and I haven't found any mention of it in the rather unhelpful manual. I was hoping someone might know something about it. It's not a dealbreaker for me, but it would be really nice if the keyboard did light up.

I'm also curious about possible future options, such as dual graphic cards. This new laptop --http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=57XDSj2LxRg41F0d-- exists because of this thread:http://www.amazon.com/UL30vt/forum/Fx1978M98LGJ2GT/Tx3TJDDWOALGBIS/1/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?_encoding=UTF8Customers requested the silver aluminum case and vt option. [Edit: The US version will be black, like the rest of the series.] They also asked for a backlit keyboard but didn't get it.Edit: Dual graphic cards added; I'll probably pick up the UL50vt instead.

I didn't know they still sold this model; its roughly 2ish years old. I think you may want to look for a laptop with dedicated graphics.

I bought this laptop a couple months ago, so...The Nvidia card is the main for graphics(2gb) and the built in Intel 4600 card is the backup(1gb). It's, essentially, a dual graphics card. Hope that info helps and, by the way, this laptop rocks!

1- What is the speed of the HDD? the hard drive installed is 750GB and is 7200rpm (verified). It is pre-partitioned to a 250GB OS partition and a 500GB data partition. 2- Does it come with the gamers backpac and mouse from ASUS? No, this is one of the ways to reduce the price of the A1, the X versions dont come with mouse nor backpack. 3- Why is the global warranty provided (1 year) is less than the standard 2 year warranty offered by ASUS? Another place where the X version lower the price, since you dont get 2 years warranty they also lower the price, give or take like $100. If you wish to have full 2 year warranty just go for the A1 version. The XA1 is a water down verision of the A1, less warranty, less drives, no blue ray, no mouse/bag, less bandwidth memory, in exchange you get to keep $300. BTW XA1 is an amazon exclusive model so you wont find it elsewhere.

Regarding the battery life - Not true. My laptop gives backup for like 4 hours if I'm just browsing the net. I am currently a college student and all my classes are 3 hours long. I mostly use browser to search for stuff related to class (or chat on facebook :P ) and take notes on word. When fully charged at the start of class, i have like 30%-40% at the end of each class.No the laptop does not have back lit keyboard.
