ASUS UL20FT-XA1 Thin and Light 12-Inch Laptop (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 2GB-Ram UL20FT XA1 does need upgrade in memory, and this can be done easily for another $50+ since the 2G standard is not suitable to run today's Win 7. The upgraded Ram will help boot-up & your everyday browsing. The LCD is good but not comparable to that of them Sony Z, VPC or TZ series that come with a vivid screen quality stellar on today market. the Asus is remarkably a good build w/ a so-so touch pad (i.e. somewhat gawdy when I think of it), and a thin look (although I wish the 16:9 screen/border ensemble is less vertically elongated), a nice silvery top cover and blk glossy LCD bezel. Ports availability is average: one HDMI, not thrill here. Sound/Keyboard would be considered on par with the other Asus or Acer counterparts. there is no major complaint when it comes to performance since the RAM upgrade (2GB + 4GB PC8500) especially when the laptop is not used for gaming. Too many bloatwares to clean up: Here I have to take one star off bc of the time I spent in removing and making sure that I do it right.
