I am wondering if the X4 has a 5600mAh battery or the 4400mAh. Anyone know?

The x4 has a smaller hard drive, and a 2 year warranty, and is silver.The x5 has a larger hard drive, a 1 year warranty, and is black.Both have 8 cell batteries, but I don't know if the x4 comes with the higher capacity one, or if it ships with the same one that the x5 uses. When the battery doesn't change the weight of the unit, and is the same number of cells, why change it? Just wondering.

It isn't just DDR. The UL50Vt has discrete nVidia 210M graphics, in addition to built in graphics. They are switchable, so you can turn off the discrete graphics when the battery begins to drain in order to work longer without having to find an outlet. The UL50A just has the built in graphics.

The newest one U500V2 with touch screen has 8GB of ram. The UX42VS 6GB and UX52VS 10GBBasically all the newer ones have more ram.

The Asus will be faster due to having an overclockable processor. It will also have longer battery life, and be less cumbersome (the U550 weighs at least 60% more than the UL50VT). The UL50VT also has a dedicated G210M (in addition to the 4500MHD), whereas the U550's I see have only the integrated GMA4500MHD (not even close). The UL50VT has a larger hard drive; 500GB compared to 320 or 250GB. The Lenovo does have a better webcam, but you can buy one for the UL50VT for $30. As you have said, the U550 does have WiMAX and the UL50VT does not. Fingerprints will be an annoyance on both machines, but you can wipe them off with a microfiber cloth. As you mentioned, the Asus does have outstanding (and free!!) warranties. Another nice feature of th UL50VT is that it has an aluminum lid, so the screen itself is that much sturdier. Plus it just looks awesome. I am the very satisfied owner of a UL50VT-A1 and I must say it has met or exceeded all of my expectations. The build quality is well above usual, and it is much faster than I had expected. Although I don't have any experience with the Lenovo, I can say that the UL50VT looks amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. Also, the programs that Asus includes are very helpful, and other than those, there really wasn't too much "bloatware" included with it. In my opinion, the only category in which the U550 really "beats" the Asus is price, but even then, when you consider what you are getting, the Asus is very reasonable. In summary, I would recommend the Asus.

I am also quite curious. Especially in comparison to the UL50vt, as you mentioned. The specs are incrementally better in the UL50vt, such as DDR3 instead of DDR2, 500 GB instead of 320 GB, and of course the Nvidida G210 switchable graphics. With the rebate on the UL50AG-A2, it appears there is a significant price difference, though. The UL50vt costs around one twenty five more. So, are these incremental improvements worth the eighteen percent increase in price? I'm not sure. Last week I didn't think so. This week, I'm on the fence, but leaning slightly towards the UL50vt. I also included the Dell 15z in my comparision, since the form factor and weight were very similar, and it had the same processor. But options can bump the price up fast, and the Dell only had a 1 year warranty.

There are absolutely no difference. The silver has customize-able faceplates and apparently the 84-plus doesn't. I believe that isn't what you are buying your calculator for. That didn't at all play a factor in which calculator I chose, because I am buying it for the performance not the beauty. Also the silver has more ram/rom 1.5mb vs the 84 plus 480kb. I won't be saving things on my calculator, and either way I clear my RAM ALL THE TIME, so that didn't play a factor neither. Aside this, there is nothing is, they perform and get the same tasks done . Hope I helped.

The main difference as I understand it is the internal processor. The ME665LL/A (mine) was early 2013 and has a 2.7 GHz Quad Core Intel i7 (Ivy Bridge) processor with turbo boost up to 3.7 GHz. The newest has a Haswell quad core 2.3 GHz processor (seems slower - but the benchmark speeds seem faster for certain applications). Bottom line - there is very little difference.

I believe the difference is the internal storage. I bought the *B1 for my son which has 32gb and the *A1 has 16gb, I believe.

I can't find much of any difference between the 3. I referred to the following to compare them. Check to see if you can find any difference.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N;=-1&IsNodeId;=1&Descr;iption=ASUS%20H81M-A&bop;=And&CompareItemL;ist=-1%7C13-132-044%5E13-132-044-TS%2C13-132-052%5E13-132-052-TS%2C13-132-042%5E13-132-042-TS&percm;=13-132-044%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24%3B13-132-052%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24%3B13-132-042%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24

My take on the UL20A vs. the 1201N is as follows; If you want to pay $80 less, less battery life, less weight, but be able to play 1080P media and games, then get the 1201N. Otherwise, get the UL20A. The battery life on the 1201N isn't that bad, I can get 4.5 hours or so with medium usage, maybe 2-3 if I play 1080P media continuously. It's pretty decent for its capabilities.

Thanks for the reply! I also frequent notebookreview.com....I received my UL30A-A2 today, though, and will put it through the battery test hoops over the next couple of days. Even if it is not the advertised 16 hours 12 hours is still absolutely excellent imo!

Another variable I missed was the UL30vt-A1 vs X1. Is there any difference in the X1 vs A1 of the vt line?Thanks again.

I am finding models 1005-HA-P, 1005HA-V and 1005HA-B. anyone know the difference? The Asus website doesn't separate them out..

I just contacted Asus myself and they said that the "Asus 360" warranty is 2 years on all laptops. This means either 1) Amazon is misinformed or made a misprint, or 2) Amazon is falsely advertising by claiming this comes with Asus 360 warranty when it doesn't.

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

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.
