ASUS U20 (or UL20) 12.1″ laptop is one of the most versatile laptops you can get for the money.
Currently the U20 comes with an array of options such as a long battery life of 7.5 hours, 1.3GHz Intel SU7300 Core 2 Duo Processor, and 2GB or 4GB of memory depending on which model you get.
On Amazon, there’s two models ASUS U20A-A1($569.99) and ASUS U20A-B2($969.03). The basic difference in price range comes down to hard disk space and memory size.
The UL20A-A1 comes with 2GB of memory and 250GB of harddisk space while the UL20A-B2 comes with 4GB of memory and 320GB of harddisk.
For what it’s worth I would rather get the UL20A-A1 and add additional memory plus external hard drive if needed. It seems like a much better value for your money.
Of course, if you are willing to spare a bit bigger screen, you might want to go with the ASUS UL30 series, which comes with an 8-cell battery with 12-16 hours of battery life.
As a current owner of an ASUS Eee PC, I can tell you these ASUS laptops are well worth it for the money and the long-life of its batteries over others brands out there.
One thing I love about ASUS laptops in general is that the new ones all come with touchpad that lets you scroll/zoom like an iPhone, a feature missed on most other brands.
