UX32VD does not have full SSD, it is HDD based, lot heavier too,
Nvidia 620M 1GB / 500GB (W/ 24GB SSD reserved for Instant On)
best model depends on what specs at what heft you want?

From my research, the ADATA SanForce SSD is the much better drive. Here' a handy video showing side-by-side testing of the two drives: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjY7Ki85dWw

I am fairly certain it would have two upgradeable slots for memory.
Most laptops do... let me check that for you!

I have the earlier version and nothing is upgradable on these things. The bottom is a solid piece, and from what I've read, everything is soldered in.

Good to know though thanks! I think since I'd be browsing and surfing the web on this thing and occasionally working on a document here and there 4 GB should be enough.

It certainly has a better screen (at least it SHOULD, going by specs alone). As for the rest it is down to whether or not you want to spend the add'l 500 smackers for The Apple Experience.
