-= THE RETURN OF THE ASUS UL30A !! =-

[pt-]

Hi all,

A few months back we had the amazing 13.3" Asus UL30A come into stock on a deal (please see: http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php?t=31987&highlight=UL30A)

This Laptop is absolutely amazing with 9 hours of battery (and it really is 9 hours) a nice 13.3" screen and is fantastic for the money just check out what other 13.3" Laptops are available and for what prices.

I know that some of you forum members have one and are likely to recommend these Laptops or just check out some of the reviews.

We have just under 50 available and like last time I expect them to sell out in under a week so be quick.

And....................... at a cheaper price of course ;);) an absolute steal :thumb:

[Cosford]

Specs say 4096mb RAM (2 x 2048). which is it?

[pt-]

3GB i will change it sorry

[Zaim]

9 Hours Battery :eek:

[albal]

Screen Res? Does it have a TPM. Is the HD 1.8" or 2.5"? Has a slot for Sim Card but does it actually have a 3G Modem.

Anyone want to swap one for a Booklet 3G with X18-M?

[Ozgun]

I have been using this laptop nearly a year and all i can say is this is the best notebook i have ever had. 5 star item. Really happy with the item:thumb:

Screen res is 1366x768.

HDD is 2.5" - didn't even know 1.8" exists lol

Don't know the rest :P.

[BigIan88]

Price?

[Pullen]

Price?

£299.99 :P

[pt-]

woops price is back sorry!

[FlasH]

These should have a 2 year warranty? Mine certainly does!

Best laptop I've ever used, and I've used 20+ models. £20 cheaper than last time and you get more for your money. Mine doesn't have bluetooth or 3G :/ :(

[A Ginger Sheep]

great laptop btw, bought mine last time around. well worth the money and is perfect for normal everyday stuff + old school games (played knights of the old republic on mine fine)

[Mr Banana]

God damn i want that bad but yet again i cannot stretch to it, really need to build up some savings <_<

How often will you be stocking them, can you not just keep them around since they seem very popular.

[pt-]

they are old stock that Asus no longer do/make, we get them on deals whenever possible, the last time was 6 months ago and if we have bought everything that was availiable on this deal - just under 50 pcs - I doubt we will get any ever again to be honest :(

[Mr Banana]

Argh so annoying it's the cheapest 13" around, all others i've seen are 450+, i don't want a 10" netbook as its just a bit too small and a 15" is too big for my needs :/

[pt-]

buy it then!!!!!!!!!!! i told you :P

[Mr Banana]

Hmmm maybe what is the graphics chip it uses?

I may just end up getting a 10" netbook and bearing the small screen, just money is a big issue :\

[FlasH]

this Asus is amazing, I've got the same one and it is a hell of a lot better than a shoddy netbook, which btw, only girls use.

[superlattice09]

Nice deal. too bad I just bought an Lenovo Thinkpad edge 13 some a few months ago. Still shines!

[Mr Banana]

No one answered my previous question - what graphics chip is it using, what is the max game it could handle?

Does the processor perform better than an Atom chip, as it's clocked a fair amount lower.

Wandering if it is worth the stretch or not.

Does anyone know how well it will work with Ubuntu?

[andyn]

Full specs here:

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/UL30A/#specifications

It's an intel 4500 GPU. This isn't really set up for gaming, but then no £300 laptop is really.

Not sure about ubuntu, not tried. GIYF.

[Mr Banana]

I know it's not setup for gaming but i'm just wandering what exactly you can do with it.

What's GIYF?

[Lahn]

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=GIYF
That's what I did too :p

[Mr Banana]

Oh i get it now, that's kinda a stupid thing to say to someone who may buy one :\

[A Ginger Sheep]

mr banana you can game on older games just not newer ones, would say you would be fine for games that are 4/5 yrs+ old

[Mr Banana]

Thanks sheep mate, think i will give this one a miss, unfortunately i've found a cheaper 12" model preloaded with ubuntu from another tailer.

[DaTLiTe]

9hr battery life is amazing. not a bad price and would be much better than netbooks

[FlasH]

Great price, awesome battery life. Using mine now to write this damn disso. Better than all netbooks :)
