Asus ul series

[thebestalive1]

is the asus series any good? if it is, which one is the fastest and best for gaming?

The UL series is fine if you need portability and longer battery life. However, since they all use low voltage processors (they have pretty low clock speeds) and most use integrated graphics, none of them are going to be that good for gaming.

The only one that might be decent is the UL80 since it comes with a GeForce 210M: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220687

Don't expect miracles from it though.

What card is in your current laptop? How much are you looking to spend?

Basically, I believe the answer is no. Maybe if you used low resolution and low settings, but even then it won't be a very enjoyable experience. I'd say a GT 230/240M from NV and an HD 4670 from ATI are about the lowest you want to look for if you want to play games decently.

See the benchmarks for the G 210M: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-G-210M.17638.0.html

In the 15'' range I'd look at these two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146719
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115732

And for a little more portability, these in the 14'' range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... 1292318470&bop=And&ShowDeactivatedMark=False
