I just bought an Asus UL80VT few days ago. Of course I tested the battery life and charging time. So here is it:

The battery lasted for 7.5 hours. Here's what I did full time, the laptop didn't sleep:
- softwares installation (was setting up things to use later), this include reading from CD/DVD
- transfering tons of files from my old desktop using LAN
- played few minutes of DotA, just to test the IGP 4500HD (Quiet Office mode)
- convert/compress several short videos to send to my handphone via bluetooth
- my Winamp was running all the time
- fixing some photo, or making some wallpapers with Photoshop
- also restarted several times, since after some software installations need to restart.

Then for charging (laptop tuenrd off), it just took 1 hours 50 minutes.

What stuffs are considered CPU intensive?

What about Asus EEE1005 HA? Seems like really good also, albeit it's a netbook and no DVD writer..Hmmm...I don't use my DVD writer very often, but sometimes I do need it (watch drama:p)...

AH! some many choices..If only can get UL80V at a better price..You guys think after christmas will have discounts?

I choose UL80VT over U50VG because the stock shipped last week, U50VG equipped with G105M... Crappy, isn't it. But it cost RM3400+!! WHile UL80VT just RM2999 (I heard KL there RM2899? Whatever..)

About the LCD brightness, I just use about 20%. Because it give me the best image/colour display possible. I working on graphics, so too right or too dark will posses in-accurate artworks...

UL80VT all the way, it's the best gift... LOL... If I got money I would buy both the UL80VT, one for my friend! (They only shipped 2 units into Kuching!!!)

his talking about the ul80vt, not the asus netbook.

well, how much are your expecting from non-performance notebook under 2k sweat.gif

if considering the turbo33 factor, no other brand still can compete.

Update: ASUS has informed us that the Best Buy model of the UL80Vt will have a rubberized palm rest. That's one complaint down....

Yes, all palm rest are plastic. Only the LCD lid is alluminium.

So... On turbo mode, the CPU top 2.1GHz with 1066FSB
On normal mode, the CPU hit around 1.7GHz with FSB around 820MHz...

I gonna checkout the temperature later... Yeah I gonna test the battery later!!!  rclxm9.gif

plastic, that means glossy body?
rubberized palm rest should mean no glossy fingerprint-friendly hmm.gif
