Review by ZAM (NC) 2010-06-16 " I was pleased with this model UL30A, I did not need or want the switchable video, so this was a good bargain at 599 for the larger 13.3 screen and full size keyboard.

Review by Barrett Campbell (USA) 2010-07-09 " This machine was a little more than I had intended to spend on a school machine, but when I started looking around, my five hundred dollar price point just wasn't enough.

Review by T'khula n'ha Ra (TX, USA) 2010-07-21 " This is my 6th purchase of a ASUS G5x and G6x series notebook. I keep getting them for myself, my family and my clients. Why?
