Does this model UX302LG come with a Back-lit keyboard? Is the RAM upgradeable from the Stock 8GB DDR3L? And is there a 16GB SSD cache? Thanks!

Backlit keyboard? Yes. Upgradeable RAM? I believe it upgrades to 10GB, but I did not upgrade. 16GB SSD cache. Yes. However, I replaced the slow 500GB HDD with a 750GB SSD, so I am not using the 16GB SSD cache.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the ul30vt-x1 can really handle 8gb of RAM? I want to preorder the a1 but the thought that the x1 can handle twice the RAM "supposedly" is making me hold off until this can be verified. I know that amazon has it listed as such, but I have my doubts considering I cannot find anything else that supports that claim. The ASUS website only lists it as support up to 4gb. Any help would be appreciated at this point from anyone. I have not been able to find anything else out from any of the other ul30vt forums on the internet.

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.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

No, backlit keyboards are typically on the ultrabooks from HP that run for a lot more money.

Mine was new, although I think that you have the option to get one refurbished for a few bucks less. Great computer, only reason I didn't keep it was because it didn't have a backlit keyboard.

Yes, this notebook has the backlit keyboard. The wireless card installed is 11a/b/g/n, PCIe Half Mini Card, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205, 2x2.

No the keyboard is not backlit. I only know of Dells being backlight. This one is not a touch screen and does not have keys that you can see in the dark. I heard that it is made in Thailand, but I do not know if that is true. I have had it for 6 months, and have already had a few problems with it... the text on one side sometimes disappears, but his only happened while in facebook, and the mouse is hypersensitive all the time, and sometimes you can be typing an email or filling in an online application, and the screen just drops right in the middle of your typing for no apparent reason several times so you have to go looking for it to see where it went before you can finish and send the email. The email screen usually pops up when the screen drops, and I can't close it out. That frequent cloudlike disappearance can be very frustrating at time.

Yes it does. It even has various brightness levels for the back light. That's really cool. It boots super fast due to the 32gb sad dedicated to booting.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model. Hope that still helps. Thanks! ~D

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Yes, I just installed 4 gigabyte on a single chip, replacing the 2 gigabyte that comes with this machine. So I do know for a fact that you can do it and for $25 it is well worth it. No need to remove the keyboard on the newest versions. I have the exact same model that you have. Not sure why your contact at Acer would say that it is not possible.

It has 2 memory slots under the keyboard and another 2 under the back cover. It ws a surprise to me when I opened up the back and there was NO RAM installed there. I ordered mine customised. the factory installed the ram under the keyboard. BTW: The SSD makes all the difference in performance. Find the money for a 512GB SSD and you will be spoiled forever.

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks
