Great laptop! ASUS its an amazing brand!
This is the second Asus in my my family, and i have to recognized this brand rocks, great prices, great battery life, not as at advertised, but using wifi, for email purposes, around 9 hours.
No hassles with the keyboard, mouse or anyuthing, even so i can give you the advice that after you remove the sticker in the mouse, you must clean it with a moistured pad.So it will run more smoodly.
Dont think it twice this is a Best-Buy.
Pros:Really Slim, Amazing battery life, Nice Display, ultrafast booting, 8 sec system to browse, music, skype,etc..!
The only Cons: Its hard to keep it without fingerprints because of their finish.
Update (5/18/2012): I also found some auctions for this item here.

Asus UL80Ag for grad studies
First, I did not purchase the Asus UL80Ag at Amazon, rather at Cos—.
That out of the way, this laptop is an extremely good choice for any grad student,
especially those in Business courses.
Most of these laptops are quite good these days. I’ve had Toshibas, Sony’s and HP’s.
But, at least when at school, two performance issues make a huge difference: battery
life and quality of WiFi connection. In these areas the Asus UL80Ag absolutely excels.
I get an absolute minimum of 6 hrs battery life, but usually 8+ hours. And, the connection
and data throughput of the Wireless N are faster than nearly all the other Laptops. Just
Google WiFi features on Laptops to see specific testing results. At school, there are never
enought plugins for all the laptops. Or, the plugin can be akward to use (eg someone trips
over your cord). With extended battery life, you just charge the Laptop at home and can
go the entire day without needing a recharge.
On the Con side, the keyboard isn’t the same quality as on a Sony with chicklet keyboard.
Furthermore, the overall fit and finish are not as good in general as with Sony laptops.
Nevertheless, the quality is good, and it is extremely functional. At their new price of
around $650, including a 2-year warranty, first year includes accident coverage, the value
of the Asus UL80Ag is very high.
Finally, I am running XP and got most of the drivers from the Asus website. However, Asus
does not, at least as of this writing, post the latest Elantech TouchPad driver, 7.0.59.
Its a day and night difference if you upgrade to this driver. If you don’t then the mouse
can randomly jump around on your document due to slight sensations from resting your palm
on the touchpad or some other biomechanic anomaly with the touchpad. The upgraded driver, 7.0.59
does fix this problem. It also makes the finger gestures much more responsive and accurate.
It other words the touchpad becomes functional instead of just frustrating.
To sum up, this is an excellent Laptop at a very good price. I expect it to last at least two
years and pay for itself within 6 months.

Asus UL80A
I’ve had this laptop for about 2 weeks now and I have to say that this is one of the bast laptops I have ever had. One of the things that you notice right away is the battery life. With my previous laptops I constantly had to check on the battery level to see if I had enough juice left but not with this one. The laptop is not heavy at all and it is extremely portable because of its size and weight. I am a student at WSU in Michigan and all my classes have the little tiny desks, and this laptop is just the perfect size. Some other great features that the laptop offers are the fast boot up, great display, stays nice and cool even after being on it for hours and hours. Overall I love the laptop. I have been in school all day since 10 this morning and it is now almost 8pm and I am still at 43% ( 5 hr 07 min)of battery. One thing that is kind of a pain is the sensitivity of the mouse pad but I got used to that in a day. Good job Asus, keep pumpin out these good laptops and you’ll put hp, dell and gateway out of business in no time.
