13.3" screen, 500GB hard drive, SU7300 CPU, 4GB RAM, significanly more powerful than my netbook, VERY thin (one my favorite features of this notebook), stated 12 hour battery life (I've never run it down that far but based on my experience 10 hours seems realistic), 3.7 pounds. 2 thumbs up.

I second the Asus ul line. I have the Asus ul30a-x5 got 9.5 hours battery life out of it with wifi off and screen brightness set to low. The only problems I have with it are the screen gloss and mouse pad but for the price it is a good travel note/net book.
