Asus' premium ultraportable notebooks fall under the UL (ultra-light) series and the Asus UL20 is the smallest and lightest of the lot at 12.1 inches.

The UL20 has a more solid built and not prone to smudges and finger-prints, unlike the Seashell series.

As for performance, the UL20 is one of the best performing CULV notebooks I've tested with a Windows Experience Index base score of 3.4 (GPU) while the CPU scored 4.1 (the additional 0.1 from our chart is due to the 64-bit OS). Full benchmarks of the Asus UL20 is published on the PCLabs blog. (Top) Asus UL20A vs (bottom) Asus Eee PC 1201T. It will be interesting to match the UL20 with the Acer Timeline 1810tz.
