ul80vt: Has anybody run performance tests on the UL series (with vt technology)?

Pawan, the warranty is fully valid in Canada and anywhere in the world. We are working to bring the products up on Amazon.ca. I expect the UL80VT will be available by mid November on Amazon.ca.

Everyone was RAVING about the Quads awhile back, so I'm confused as well. I want processing for 1) virtual servers / lab, and 2) video encoding / output. Anyone with hands-on E8400 and/or Quads, I want your feedback!

Well, that load is within spec. I have not run mine this hard, but at this price it seems worth a try.I have had excellent performance thus far at 48V, probably 2-3 A.

Yeah there are two HUGE differences. The UL80VT has DDR3 Ram, whereas the UL80AG uses DDR2. DDR3 is faster but more importantly, it runs cooler than DDR2. That will help battery life and internal temperatures of the laptop. DDR3 in general is more expensive than DDR2 Ram. Secondly, the UL80VT has switchable graphics. There's the integrated graphics card, and then it also comes with a Nvidia g210M dedicated card. You can switch on the fly to whatever card suits your needs, if you prefer a real graphics card you have that option, or if you want to save battery life, that is also available. The UL80AG does not include that dedicated graphics card. It only has the integrated Intel 4500HD card. In terms of price, the UL80VT is priced accordingly. Better Ram and extra graphics card = the approx. $100 price difference. Hope that helps!

A multimeter shows the V+s are internally shorted as are the COM terminals, though I haven't tried running a 20A load through a single terminal or splitting it.

I cannot give you a definitive answer, but I can tell you I have been trying to use a 4 w/o success. I happened upon this discussion while researching 2.0' s. It seems to be all that works.

I run Win 7 64 but it's not the OS that is the issue. I have the newest Zenbook with an Intel Core I-5, plenty of horsepower, and the latest release of Itel's widi. The product simply is not there yet. I would have gladly paid more for a product that did the job. 12 feet with line of sight is the most favorable test you can use. If it can't work in that environment, it's the product. To be fair I don't think anything is up to the task of streaming even 720p video.

I'm on the same wagon, i'm gonna get one of this next month, but i haven't decided yet. I like the 1201N more than the UL20A for a simple reason, everything that is going out in computer world is graphics intense, CPU is less needed everyday, and for the task that need CPU power the one in the 1201N is enough.

No recall, these companies are too cheap to do that. As far as hardware issues, the Intel Wireless 7260 series just seems bad. Even with the latest drivers I would steer clear of it. I've been running Linux instead of Windows on the SVP and it's behaved itself but I have a Dell M3800 as well for work that uses this same wireless chipset. That laptop completely fails to connect with wireless if you've woken it from sleep. This is with the August 2014 drivers. I'd say just skip this generation of ultrabooks if you can.

There is a review over at anamdtech.com for ul80vt. It got a 3dmark06 score of 3640 with Turbo33 mode on. That is enough graphics power to play any game currently in existence on at least low settings. Games that are 2+ years it can probably run on high settings. It will be able to play all the latest titles on low-med settings at native resolution (probably). Based on that score, it could probably run Crysis at 1366x768 on low, which is really good.

It is pretty quick and solid not a huge difference from the Vertex but it seems faster to me so far. I haven't ran any benchmarks or anything yet, I just wanted to try the latest and greatest.

heh Understood, and much more comforting to know you ran and it passed, three tests. >__>b I'm definitely interested, as this is a great deal for 16GB. Thanks for the quick response!

I just cancelled my Amazon order for the VSX-1019. Great reviews on Cnet, sure, but I've read complaints about the power really being 90 watts and, more importantly for me (cos its going into a enclosed unit) about the 1019 running really hot. Can anyone comment on the VSX-9040 re runnimg temperature??

I just got my asus eee 1000h, installed sl.Lowest settings, before I start doing any tweaks, I'm getting about 7fps.Haven't got to try out the slvoice yet, but I can click on things inside the enviroment, which I couldn't ever get to work on the org hp mini note, I think that was becuase the hp mini note had a via chipset, which just wasn't that widely apectedI have a 2 gig ram card coming in soon, and I hope that gets me a few more fps out of my system.Will try to post again when I get that installed and tested

Alas, what the review actually says is: "The integrated graphics scored 739 in our 3DMark03 test (better than the MSI Wind NB's score of 606), and was even able to run the graphics intensive Second Life." This is hardly the same as "runs well". Compared with my HP laptops and desk top, SL is unusable on the Asus, with maybe 7-8 fps as indicated by another user below. It's still a nifty little machine for other uses.
