Will the UL20 have WIFI problems? does anyone know if this computer has the exact same chipset, it seems it does because it shares the same cpu and integrated graphics.

There is no problem with Wifi. I own a UL30 and it's been working well. Just FYI

When I upgraded my laptop (Dell D600) I bought Windows 7 Pro... (because some of my drivers must have the compatibility mode for my hardware to run.) I disabled my internal wi-fi in the bios. Had to hunt down the latest drivers one by one... but it runs fine, never crashed yet, network card works fine. I'll get 6 more years out of my 2006 laptop and it's very handy on the kitchen table!

The device I have received definitely came with 1.1 GHz, Celeron 847. Both lscpu and lshw reveals results consistent with this.

I bought a graphics card(NVIDIA, GEFORCE gtX 750 TI) for this computer as well and had to remove the adapter for the wireless internet and it stil barely fits. if you cant get anyhelpful advice you might have to look at getting a different motherboard, try amazon customer service first. they are usually pretty quick and helpful.

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?

My biggest issue right now is the wireless connection problems that are popping up.Asus, what are the chances of getting a different type/brand of wireless card for the UL line?

No recall, these companies are too cheap to do that. As far as hardware issues, the Intel Wireless 7260 series just seems bad. Even with the latest drivers I would steer clear of it. I've been running Linux instead of Windows on the SVP and it's behaved itself but I have a Dell M3800 as well for work that uses this same wireless chipset. That laptop completely fails to connect with wireless if you've woken it from sleep. This is with the August 2014 drivers. I'd say just skip this generation of ultrabooks if you can.

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.

Don't buy it. It's a peice of junk. You'll be reseting it everyday at least 4 or 5 times. Support for it is terrible. Just do a google search on the internet connection dropping and you'll see. Go with the Asus.

Sorry, here's my answer to the Intel I5 processor is very good and very past when your are making downloading or wi-fi internet compare to the other processor before this is much better and I already recommend to my friend and my colleagues.

The graphics on the 2.0Ghz model are perfectly fine for your purposes. I have one of these machines and it is excellent for just what you plan to do. Enjoy!

:) As long as you are not doing major gaming or video editing you will be fine. I am curious about the inability to add ram on the U120's though. That seems like a stupid move considering the U100's were great for their flexibility, eg. Various upgrade options including ram, ability to run windows 7, OSx86, and various others. Is this confirmed or just rumor? I was about to buy one but that is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

It probably does come equipped with WIFI as that was a standard specification and these computers were built with the business user in mind. If you have not bought the computer yet, go look at the advertisement and see if it mentions WIFI and/or call the seller to verify. The one I bought came WIFI equipped and works great! If you already bought it, you can check to see if it has a WIFI adapter installed: click "start", "all programs", "accessories", "system tools", system information" and go to "Network" and click on "adapter" - scroll down and look for a line that looks like "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI Adapater". The following link will take you to Dell's specifications on this model: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/latit/en/spec_latit_d620_en.pdf

I'm using this mobo with unibeast. Integrated graphics work great. The Wi-Fi doesn't work but everything else does. I found my multibeast settings from a post.

I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit). Now, the dock works ok at my office but when I take ultrabook home and use it without the dock I cant get wifi to connect until I uninstall the drivers. So, yes it will work (make sure you get the correct drivers from DisplayLink website 1st) but you will have issues when not using the dock..I'm debating selling mine for this reason and sticking with the connection accessories that came with the uktrabook.Great Ultrabook by the way! Shame Asus cant ensure that their docks work with the own latest and greatest! I got one of these at the same time as my UX301LA-XH72T, it worked perfectly until I updated windows to 8.1 (64bit).

F2A88XN-WIFII guess OTB is Out of the Box I paid to send the MOBO to gigabyte cause it would NOT POST with 7850k,Gigabyte does recommend that an FM2 pre-Kaveri CPU be used to update to F3 ,.if you have that CPU,..I don't .When the MOBO came back, it POSTed on first try with 7850k. Has BIOS F3 . I like the MOBO .ATI\AMD had their staggard release of the FM2 and FM2+ CPU's\chip set. could make it difficult for the MOBOmanufactures to have all in stock MOBO's with latest BIOS.
