The ASUS UL30A-X5 is a 12 Hour Laptop for Road Warriors
The mobile business person will love the ASUS UL30A-X5. The greatest thing about this Thin & Light laptop is it's battery life - 12 hours! The thing has a 13.3" screen, is less then 1" thick, and only weighs 3.74 pounds! Inside you've got a 1.3GHz Intel SU7300 Core 2 processor, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 500GB (5400 rpm) hard drive. Like most Ultra Thins this baby sports on board (Intel GMA 4500MHD) video card that allows you to efficiently multitask without killing battery life. Keep in mind that it's not a gaming monster! The processor has been dialed down to extend the battery life; it can't handle intense 3-D games. Amazon sells the UL30A-X5 for $649.99 with free shipping. Read the rest of this entry »
