    I used to have the VT version (same as the A version but with a GPU) and had awesome battery life. However, IIRC, different UL30's may come with different battery capacities. Not sure which one this has though.

    Excellent deal. I remember looking at one of these a while back. SU7300 with GMA 4500MHD is a good combo, better than any Atom powered netbook.

    Decent price also compared to sites like amazon, etc.. :)

    Actually if it had any kind of dedicated GPU I probably would buy it to replace my M11x which with the 11.6" screen a little too small for the power it has.
