NotebookReview has a review of the Asus UL30A and writes, “The ASUS UL30A-A1 is a very nice 13″ ultraportable notebook. The design is attractive and the construction of the body is great; with high quality materials used throughout. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, with excellent support to resist any flexing. Our battery test fell 2 hours short of the 12-hour claim, but it was still impressive at right under 10 hours. With a starting price of $799 it is priced above the Acer Timeline, but offers a faster processor and better battery life. Overall if you are looking for a super slim and lightweight 13.3″ notebook with great battery life, the ASUS UL30A is well worth checking out.”

Pros
Excellent battery life
Solid build and good looking design
Great keyboard

Cons
Display has limited viewing angles
Small AC adapter gets hot under stress

LaptopMag reviews the Asus UL30A and writes, “ASUS’ first entry into the ULV market provides a great balance between portability, power, and price. Though this notebook isn’t a multimedia powerhouse, it doesn’t need to be. Consumers who want a light, portable machine that won’t choke when taxed or die after a few hours without the power cord will appreciate this system. Though it isn’t as thin or as light as the MSI X340 ($699.99) (currently priced at $699), the UL30A easily outperforms it. The Acer Aspire Timeline 3810 is also a strong choice, and offers slightly better performance, but it costs $50 more and lasts about 2 hours less on a charge. The bottom line: At $799, the UL30A is a compelling value.”

Pros
Light, attractive design
Long battery life
Solid overall performance
Good keyboard

Cons
Poor graphics performance
Screen a bit too glossy

PCWorld reviews the Asus UL30A-A1 and writes, “All said and done, this machine a reasonably good package, but it is $800. You might find yourself asking if you want to get something that might not run as long, but have more muscle (like, say, Dell’s Studio 14z) or forgo a little bit of that power and save a few bucks with a plain ol’ netbook. But final judgments are pending: We still need to run the UL30A through our labs, and when that’s complete, we’ll come back with a full review.”

PCMag reviews the Asus UL30A-A1 and writes, “The ASUS UL30A-A1 is an amazing ultra-thin laptop that gives 10 hours of battery life for less than what everyone else is charging.”

Pros
Amazing battery life. Metallic design is gorgeous. 500GB of storage. Software over-clocking feature works well. Comes standard with huge battery. Lightweight. 4GB of DDR3 memory.

Cons
Available through e-tailers only.

Acer Aspire One Reviews

CNet reviews the Acer Aspire One and writes:

The good: Attractive, slim design; big keyboard for such a small system; affordable.

The bad: Only 512MB of RAM limits performance; wimpy battery life; no Bluetooth.

The bottom line: The Acer Aspire One is easily the best of the current under-$400 Netbooks, but its meager allotment of memory and tiny battery limit its appeal.

Rating: Good – 6.2/10.

Hardwarezone reviews the Acer Aspire One and writes:

Pros: Light weight, decently sized keyboard, clear and bright LCD screen
Cons: Dismal battery life, restrictive OS, expensive price, unwieldy trackpad.

Rating: N/A.

PCworld reviews the Acer Aspire One and writes:

OK, so the machine isn’t perfect. The important part is that Acer gets more than enough right to hit the mark for basic use. And, considering the low costs to own this li’l laptop, you could get a lot of mileage out of the Aspire One. If you have simple needs, this is your notebook.

Rating: N/A.

PCadvisor reviews the Acer Aspire One and writes:

A few glitches aside such as near-useless track buttons, and no user adjustable screen brightness, the Acer Aspire One is the current pick of the breed. Figure in the curvier styling and shiny colours, and Acer moves to the top of the list, especially at the attractive price of £220.
