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 an 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.

User Opinions: 130 customers have reviewed the UL30A-X5 and given it a 4 star overall rating. From an performance perspective this machine is able to handle all business applications with ease. Overall build quality is good, the keyboard is easy to use, and the textured mouse pad tracks two finger movements well. Everybody loves the thin 1″ profile and the fact that it weighs less than 4 pounds. Users tell us that in real world tests battery life ranges from 8 to 11 hours…it all depends on how much multitasking is done. Here’s a couple recent opinions directly from Amazon:

• “I’m something of a “road warrior” who is frequently away from my office on business, and this is my 9th laptop computer in the past 22 years. I love everything about it! The screen is sharp and bright, the keyboard is well laid out and a pleasure to use, it’s fast, light, good-looking, has lots of RAM, a large hard drive, plenty of USB ports (3), great speakers for a laptop, exceptional battery life, runs cool and quiet, boots quickly, well priced considering all the features, and seems quite solid. The touchpad is easy to use, although I turned off “tapping” (a unless, annoying feature of laptops, IMHO). Its size is perfect for travel, although perhaps a bit small as a desktop replacement.”

• “This little laptop is a wonder. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware, runs very quick, multitasks great, is dead silent, and I’m getting 10-12 hours of battery life on stock configuration.”

• “I really love this computer despite the facts that it has some issues. I really like the finish, it’s very thin, less than 1 inch, but by no means is thinner than the Macbook Air. The casing is very sexy, it looks very nice from all angles. The keyboard is amazing, the only problem is that it has a little flex but it’s not the end of the world I can type pretty well.”
