    UL50 VT-xx = a UL50 with a G210M dedicated graphics card
    UL50 AG-xx = a UL50 with Intel GMA 4500 MHD

    the xx suffix denotes different hard drive and ram capacities.

    The UL50VF also has a dedicated graphics card but also Nvidia’s Optimus technology. Basically it allows the laptop to automatically switch between integrated graphics mode to discrete mode when you need the extra power.
