MSI U120H: What is that and is it better than the msi u120?

That would be the U123G or U123H (I've seen it called one thing in early reviews and another in later reviews; not to be confused with the U123T which has a digital TV tuner). The U123 basic model was released in the US last week, although it's not in wide release (I only know of 3 places that have it, and Amazon isn't one of them). The U123G/H hasn't been released anywhere yet, probably end of May in Asia and a month later or so in the US.

Yeah there are two HUGE differences. The UL80VT has DDR3 Ram, whereas the UL80AG uses DDR2. DDR3 is faster but more importantly, it runs cooler than DDR2. That will help battery life and internal temperatures of the laptop. DDR3 in general is more expensive than DDR2 Ram. Secondly, the UL80VT has switchable graphics. There's the integrated graphics card, and then it also comes with a Nvidia g210M dedicated card. You can switch on the fly to whatever card suits your needs, if you prefer a real graphics card you have that option, or if you want to save battery life, that is also available. The UL80AG does not include that dedicated graphics card. It only has the integrated Intel 4500HD card. In terms of price, the UL80VT is priced accordingly. Better Ram and extra graphics card = the approx. $100 price difference. Hope that helps!

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

I don't believe there are any differences besides the clock speed. Everything seems identical (same chipset, RAM size/speed, disk model, wireless model, etc) and the only difference the i7-4510u has is an increased clock multiplier. I can say that 1.8 GHz base clock has proven more than enough for anything I need from this computer (read: educational Solidworks, light games/transcoding, productivity, 50+ tabs), and combined with the ssd and ample RAM, I doubt the difference would be significant unless you had heavy single-threaded workloads. It seems that this model has been marked down more because people rarely look at the clock speeds, and this is the cheapest i7 model (also the cheapest with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD, my constraints); the market for the other one would be more professional.

I'm on the same wagon, i'm gonna get one of this next month, but i haven't decided yet. I like the 1201N more than the UL20A for a simple reason, everything that is going out in computer world is graphics intense, CPU is less needed everyday, and for the task that need CPU power the one in the 1201N is enough.

I'm running an HD4000 in my MBA also w/ 8GB RAM, and it does, in fact, support 2560x1600. I don't do any gaming, strictly just Office suite products, and average Internet surfing/browsing including the occasional video. The U3011 is perfect for my setup and needs.

I have had this one for over a year and it qualifies as the best laptop purchase I ever made. I have no reservations in wholeheartedly recommending this product. I don't feel the 4800MQ offers substantial differences to this processor. The video card however may be worth the extra couple hundred dollars. This one performs solidly with anything I have tried on it.

I bought this one - ASUSSABERTOOTH X79. Note, you will have to do a mobo update prior to using the cpu. It's super easy and can be done with a usb and clicking one button.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

EDIT: Both the DH71T and the XH72T use the i7 4558U Processor. I apologize for any confusion caused. As a matter of fact, it has two models with i7 processors. They are 1) the UX301LA-DH71T, which has the i7 4500U 1.8~3.0 GHz Processor, and 2) the UX301LA-XH72T, which has the i7 4558U 2.8~3.0 GHz Processor. They both use the Intel HD5100 GPU. If you search for the exact model on Amazon, these items will not show up. However, by searching through Google, you can find the Amazon pages for these models and sign up to be notified when these models will be available (from my understanding, the UX301LA-DH51T will be in stock on October 26, 2013 in the US though the UX301LA-DH51T was already made available in other countries). Also, if you were curious, the UX301LA-DH71T starts close to $2k and the XH72T is around $2.2k. These numbers were obtained through other vendors but I think are appropriate guidelines since the base model is already $1.8k. Included with every computer is a case, adapter dongles, and power adapter. Hope that helps. Also, I'm not an ASUS representative and I do not have any connections to ASUS. I have just been waiting for this ultrabook for a while so I've been doing a fair bit of research.

I would not get the H100i. The Corsair Link software is hideous and does not work properly. It's truly awful in Windows 8.

thanks for the link, also about to purchase Ul20a with the memory you recommended, just wondering if its the same timings and specs than the one that comes inside.

I honestly dont know which version the board is but I do know that it performs extremely well, I myself have the UD7 in my system and my wife and two kids have the UD5 in theirs and all of them perform really well, combine that with the 965 phenom black processor and its a pretty sweet setup

Its an H81m-e33 made by MSI. It supports up to 16gb ram, 2x 8gb sticks. There are only 2 dimm slots for memory.

I installed the Noctua NH-U12S cooling unit and I'm very happy with it. I have an i7-4770K Haswell.

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.

Long story short, this is the microtower version of z77 extreme 4. It's much more compact. Since I have Haf X tower... I'm regretting getting this motherboard honestly, but I don't think there'll be much difference between this motherboard and z77 extreme4 performance-wise except for a few plugs missing (z77 extreme4 has more sata2 and sata3 ports, etc)
