We love this machine. I reseached like crazy before buying this for my wife. I ordered the black unit but the battery was the 4400 mah, not the 5600, so i returned it, paid the extra money, and was promised the same weight but the bigger battery. Well, of course the battery is heavier, but at least i got the bigger battery, and also an extra year of maintenance.
So far, this is a great laptop. I have set the touch pad so two fingers allow you to scroll up and down in IE, and three finger touches acts as a back key in IE. Everything is terrific about this system and i love the ability to expand the screen for IE.
The silver unit is close to 4 lbs while the black unit is more like 3.7. I felt the extra battery life was worth it. Amazon doesn't quite understand this, in part because ASUS gives them incomplete information.
Pros: Screen, keyboard, fit and finish, battery, speakers (amazing sound), touch pad, Windows 7, quiet, runs cool, weight, runs quickly (i don't play high end video games but didn't buy for that)
Cons: Except for the weight being a few ounces higher than advertised for the bigger battery, non so far but just had this a few days so will update later on, be nice if Bluetooth included but don't really have a need yet(would be nice i guess to transfer files to cell phone, and use a bluetooth headset for music - but easy to buy the tiny bluetooth transmitter)
Summary: great machine, hope Asus service is good and that the 1 year accident protection is for real, best of all my wife likes this and it was a present for her.Get more detail about ASUS UL30A-A2 Thin and Light 13-3-Inch Silver Laptop - 12 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium).
