Low Price ASUS UL80Ag-A1 Thin and Light 14-Inch Black Laptop - 12 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Home Premium), Reviews love everything about this machine and all that came with it. except the mouse. developing carpal tunnel syndrome within hours, i now travel having a wireless usb mouse. it is awful. the button is stiff as hell, and the touch pad is dodgy. otherwise, i dig it. just plan to travel with accessory.
I've had this laptop for about two weeks now and I've to say that this is one of the bast laptops I've ever had. 1 of the issues that you simply notice correct away is the battery life. With my prior laptops I continuously had to check on the battery level to see if I had sufficient juice left but not with this one. The laptop is not heavy at all and it's extremely portable because of its size and weight. I'm a student at WSU in Michigan and all my classes have the small tiny desks, and this laptop is just the ideal size.
The battery life is really stellar. I can realistically get ten hours of use on a single charge. I have gotten 8+ with WiFi on, but could possible have gotten much more. You will find 4 energy modes that you simply can use on this laptop: High Performance, Entertainment, Quiet Office, and Battery Saver. From the High Efficiency mode down they basically throttle down your CPU usage and dim the display progressively. I have by no means even used the Battery Saver mode so I could most likely get close to 12 hours on a single charge in that mode.
