ul80vt: Has anybody run performance tests on the UL series (with vt technology)?

Pawan, the warranty is fully valid in Canada and anywhere in the world. We are working to bring the products up on Amazon.ca. I expect the UL80VT will be available by mid November on Amazon.ca.

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.

Using a Turon-based CPU and expecting any good performance from a VM under ESXi is asking for trouble. Think of this as a NAS device, not a general purpose server. I wouldn't try **any** virtualization more than "containers" or "BSD-Jails."By this point you might have purchased and installed ESXi. How did it go?

Revisa las specs de tu Vaio... Verifica la velocidad 667 MHz? o mejor todavia confirmar la compatibilidad de este modulo con tu Vaio... Saludos

I run Win 7 64 but it's not the OS that is the issue. I have the newest Zenbook with an Intel Core I-5, plenty of horsepower, and the latest release of Itel's widi. The product simply is not there yet. I would have gladly paid more for a product that did the job. 12 feet with line of sight is the most favorable test you can use. If it can't work in that environment, it's the product. To be fair I don't think anything is up to the task of streaming even 720p video.

The trial has been working great with the .m2ts files from my HF10. Give it a try, but it seems to work great.

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.

hi, yes, http://www.notebookcheck.net/Performance-and-Scaling-Overview-of-Intel-HD-Graphics-4000.82847.0.html

I haven't tried any server virtualization OS on the G2020T. There is not Hyper-Threading and I didn't see anything about ESXi support in the technical materials except VT-x.

I'm running Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Combo V6. It's Froyo, but everything works, including hardware acceleration, and it's wicked fast. I did downclock mine from the 1.5GHz to 1.4GHZ as my gtab's CPU couldn't handle it.

I'm looking for the same info. I have a SLVR on order that should show up in the next couple days and would love the extra memory capacity.

yeah I decided to wait, was only getting a laptop to have an extra computer in the house and for the occasional vacation use so no rush, sounds like the new i5 ulv chips will run circles around the current ones, and remember even though they use 18W, that is with the gpu included so its really the same as the current ones. They overclock themselves (no need for Asus to do it), now lets just hope some manufactures combine a good switchable card and battery with them. think UL30VT with twice the performance on the gpu and cpu side with almost the same battery life for under $1K.

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!

Dear ASUS,Any chance of a UL30vt with backlit keyboard in my lifetime? I'm pretty old, so we are talking a small window.

It's 0.3 on the UL30, but 1.3 on the smaller UL20. I find the 0.3 adequate for video conferencing when I'm traveling.

It is pretty quick and solid not a huge difference from the Vertex but it seems faster to me so far. I haven't ran any benchmarks or anything yet, I just wanted to try the latest and greatest.
