Asus UL20FT


$652.99 Released August, 2010

Product Shot 1 The Pros:12.1" LED backlit display with respectable 1366 x 768px resolution. Compact and lightweight - 12.1" design, 3.3 pounds. Fairly powerful components - Core i3 processor, DDR3 memory.

The Cons:Intel GMA 4500MHD only - poor 3D capabilities. No optical drive. Poor trackpad - small with a crappy mouse button bar that must be clicked at its extremes to register.

The Asus UL20FT is a thin and lightweight 12.2” notebook outfitted with an Intel Core i3-330UM processor, which is in fact a great improvement over the Japanese version, which hosts a Celeron U3400 CPU instead.

Featured also is 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250GB HDD, and the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system. At the time of this writing (one month prior to its August 2010 release), there was speculation that the Asus UL20FT would also house a VGA webcam, a 6-cell 4400mAh battery, and an HDMI output, though this couldn’t be confirmed until August.
