Dec 15th, 2012 02:00 PM #17I bought this laptop from Staples a couple of weeks ago, it comes with NVIDIA GeForce GT635M with 2gb of discrete memory. It also comes with 1 year of ASUS Accidental Damage Protection (anything accidental like spills, drops, etc.)

Dec 15th, 2012 08:31 PM #19If you always use a mouse, you can just disable the touch pad. I've had a wireless mouse since I bought a laptop and never used the touch pad. I agree it's very annoying typing something and it jumps elsewhere! Originally Posted by NeedVIP

Ultrabooks vs normat ultra portable laptop
I travel a lot on inter continental flights and dread sitting in a plane for hours with no power outlets. The in flight extertainment is mostly nothing to talk about so want to have a laptop with 6 plus hours battery + tablet + extra battery :-)
However I have read that it is very difficult or even impossible to switch battery on ultrabooks. This of course is not the issue with laptops.
Is this really so?
Can someone with newer ultrabooks/laptops please confirm?
Thanks Reply With Quote

Dec 16th, 2012 10:19 PM #26Really? It has an ULV processor, so I thought it would last much longer than that. Were you, by any chance, using the discrete graphic card instead of the integrated one ? O_O Originally Posted by NeedVIP

Dec 17th, 2012 07:57 AM #27I haven't done any gaming on it at all yet, but the battery itself is physically very thin.. not sure how that translates to capacity but imo it could have been much bigger physically (It's just a long strip that slides in haha most other laptop batteries that I've seen are 2-3 times larger in size so that might have something to do with it?

Dec 17th, 2012 01:49 PM #29That definitely was the best deal on an ultrabook this year!!! I kept checking RFD everyday for the past few months for a deal on the Samsung Series 9 but still missed that deal as it was posted within an existing thread!!! Originally Posted by akz
