    Hey everyone, was at BB the other day and they had the UL50 but they didnt have an information card. I read the model sticker on the bottom and it said UL50VT. Would anyone know what price it is at BB. Got alot of giftcards.

    Thats what i thought as well but the display one that was there was a VT dont know if it was just a mistake or if they are going to also carry the VT. The website only lists the AG.

    anyone notice the UL50AG at BB that the palm rest is matte and the touchpad is now a regular one (square shaped) and not dotted? the matte palm rest is really nice. i went to BB to check it out and I will definitely wait for the UL30JT now

    I was told the -RBBBK07 model has a better sound processor.

    One thing to note with the Best Buy models- you do not get the standard 2 year ASUS warranty or the 1 year accident coverage on these models. You have to pay Best Buy for coverage beyond 1 year warranty on parts and labor.

    If so, you should buy it from Amazon so you'll get the Asus 2-year warranty and 1-year accidental damage warranty. Charge it to your MasterCard and the Asus warranty gets an additional year (MasterCard benefit.)
