if i switch to low power mode will i lag when watching hd movies with vlc media player?

[mcbeatbox937]

@g0dlike308 I just tested a couple of HD movies in media player classic with the laptop in low power mode while streaming over wireless and everything played fine. Results with vlc should be similar.

Should I buy ul30vt or 1215N? Here in my country the prices are almost the same

[mcbeatbox937]

@Ilmdah I just quickly checked the specifications on the 1215N and the UL30VT should be faster overall.

cd room?

[mcbeatbox937]

@henrolig The UL30VT doesn't come with one, but the larger models, such as the UL50VT and UL80VT do.

Haha, sounds like Sylvester Stalone talking ;D

But great review, actually might get one of these and pair with an Intel x25-M G2 SSD.

[RocAha8ter]

Don't buy either. Wait for the UL30Jt. It comes with Intel Core i7 640UM/62UM processor with Turbo Boost Technology.

Hope i'm not too late!

The Nvidia 310M in the JT offers a minimal boost in performance for games and the i3-330um - which was supposed to b the superior i7 640UM/62UM - will drain the battery faster. I'd say the UL30VT is better choice - even after 6 months - because of longer battery life, cheaper price, and great performance. This is coming from someone who has a desktop with an i7 920 @ to 3.6ghz, 5870, 6gb ram and thinks netbooks are too slow. UL30JT wasn't what I thought it was. Hope that helps!
