I’d go as far as calling this a macbook killer. Light weight, stylish, sleek, sturdy build, similar hardware – for a lower price. In fact you get this, plus an 80GB X25-M, for the price of a MacBook Pro. Plus that is more configurable, and if you want OSX, then I guess this would make a very fine hackintosh,

Nice review. I’ve been looking at buying this, if you want battery life plus some gaming it’s to beat at this price range. Amazon has it for $799 with a free external dvd burner. FYI

Thanks a lot for putting this up. Would like to buy it, but only if it’s very quiet and if the fan doesn’t run too often. Of course, for gaming it will switch on. But that’s normal. However, during stuff like internet surfing and text processing it should be quiet. Can you say something about those issues? Does it have a button to put it into some silent mode, e.g. as on Samsung laptops?

Very nice trio of videos as I have the Dell Inspiron 13z which I bought before Xmas but am looking to change to the UL30VT due to the switahcable GFX but mainly the awesome battery life.
Your videos gave me incredible insight

i think you meant cd-drive,
if thats the case you have 3 options,
1. Buy external cd-drive and connect it via usb to ur netbook
2. If the cd files come in exe. form, just copy it onto a flash drive from another computer that has a cd-drive and then transfer it to your laptop and run it
3. if the cd is in the form of an iso. file, then you must download a program thats able to mount the iso file (basically making an imaginary cd-rom drive) and run it from there. Reccomendations: Daemon Tools

As well as significantly worse performance…

Because it’s about 2 times more expensive while giving less battery life.

good video. I didn’t realize how thin it is. It’s slightly thinner than the asus n10 netbook I am typing this on.
