Yes I'm really hoping this is the case with the UX31A's, in which the 256GB model will have an A-Data. Heard nothing but bad reviews about the Sandisk SSD.![]()
It might however be a lottery-draw just like the UX31E models, where some were getting Adatas and some were getting Sandisks

thx for the answer

I've been going back and forth between the UX32VD i7 model (I actually ordered one on amazon a few days ago) or the new 2012 Sony S13 premium model on the sony student deal.
I've read a about a few people here who decided to go that route, I'd love to hear some opinions. I've been posting in the Sony forums and I thought I'd hear from this side of the fence. Here is my pros/cons list
Any input would be helpful -
Hi Guys, any word on the UK launch of the UX32VD?
No sign on Amazon yet? A couple of other places seem to be listing it, but no actual stock.
I'm planning to swap to this SSD/add 8 Gb Ram: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-256...OLE&s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1340206964&sr=1-1
Will it just be a case of doing this and then doing a clean install of Windows?
The talk of the 32 Gb soldered cache drive above makes my think it could cause problems/make it more complicated.
Thanks -

frame -.- no backlight bleed thou , but still im gona keep on sending it back till they get it right and if they gotta send me 4 more , thou this is my first , still for the price thats not to be even considered acceptable , hence why i sent it back for a replacement that they sure as hell better get right
p.s: it still is the most epic ultrabook eva!!! -
The only thing I don't know is which Cloning software is best for GPT disks... As your HDD is usu. bigger than the SSD, you need to srhink some partitions, but keep the alignment, etc. -
Possibly a dumb question, but...
Are there any places around (that will be selling the Prime in the US) that don't have a restocking fee? Seems like many of you are saying you'll return it if it has a Sandisk SSD or a flexy keyboard, but given that these aren't really defects, are you just going to eat the restocking fee (in the case of Amazon, 15%)?
I bought a DB51 on Amazon and am a little worried about opening it up given the fee, especially if there will be an Xbox/other promotion by another vendor in the next week or two... -
Amazon just adjusted the ship date for my UX32VD, should be going out tomorrow, delivery on friday.

Could someone verify that I'm not insane:
Why are Amazon.com and NewEgg.com specs different on the exact same model?

Where are you getting your info? -
Which one of these has a replaceable SSD drive?
The UX32VD has a soldered cache SSD but what about the UX31A ? Is it mSATA or is also soldered on the mainboard ?
Also is the UX32VD cache SSD user accessible? Can we install Windows directly on it? -
UX31A-DB51 back in stock at Amazon.

Amazon.com Help -
Ah crap. I just received my UX31a-DB71 from Amazon but guess what? The power cord is UK spec., NOT US. Amazon?! Why are you doing this to me? Arrrgh.
-
-
A sub on buy.com has the 31a-db51 for $1049 incl shipping ATM. However, they don't take laptop returns period.
-
I was told if unopened, then full refund. If opened within 30 days, then 15% restocking fee. I believe this is a recent development...and it may be applied inconsistently. Seems like Amazon wants the right to charge a restocking fee. It only makes sense - what are they going to do with used laptops?
From the return policy on the DB51 page:
Of course, if it's defective, then full return. But I'm talking about non-defective things, ie I don't like it as much as I thought I would, has a Sandisk SSD, etc. -
Here is the DB51 page, where is that which you quoted or is it not the AMAZON USA page? I am sure the rules differ from country to country.
Amazon.com: ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB51 13.3-Inch Ultrabook: Computers & Accessories -
It shows up when you click "see more technical details."
The reason why I ask is that it seems like most online retailers DO charge a restocking fee (Newegg, Fry's), so I was surprised to hear Amazon did not. -
I've never seen digitec screwing up on specs.
I'll play with it for a while and I'll update the memory to 10GB and put a Samsung 830 256GB in a month or two -
(Sorry for your loss..) -

Ha, someone is selling the UX31A-DB71 on Amazon for nearly twice the price, just listed:
Amazon.com: ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A-DB71 13.3-Inch Ultrabook: Computers & Accessories -
However, my experience with Amazon is that if you put the product back exactly how it was, you'll get a full refund without even having to ask.
Even if that doesn't work, if you whine enough, they'll usually do what they need to make you happy. Given the choice between making a few hundred bucks in restocking fees and protecting their reputation, Amazon often chooses the good word-of-mouth. -

This is an absolute deal breaker for me, can't stand backlight bleed, especially when it's as uneven as this -
For you guys that are replacing the UX32VD hard drive with a SSD, are you also removing the stock SSD that comes with it?
If not, are there any benefits to keeping it? Such as using it for cache or page file? -
I'm more than slightly concerned that its visible even under sunny conditions. -
Can somene recap the bleed issue, is that on all models, folks who have their units are you seeing that?
