    The U30JC is what you're looking for.

    This thread is a good place to look.
    The video card is basically the same in both; 512MB vs 1GB (assuming those specs are correct) won't really make a difference since the GPU is still the 310M.
    The important differences are that the UL30JT is thinner and lighter and has no optical drive, but uses ultra-low voltage CPUs with lower clock speeds - this means much more battery life, however.
