u47vc or u32a-db51

[eesee]

hey guys, I'm debating whether to get the not yet released u47vc or the not yet released ultrabook u32a-db51... One thing I don't understand is that on the site it says a "Polymer Battery (48 Whrs)" is that like a 6 cell??
I'm primarily using it for university, so gaming will not be necessary and that SSD will be really helpful.. How long do you think each laptop will last with web surfing and word processing? And i believe both have a backlit keyboard which is a ++++!!

And... most importantly.. When you do think it will be released? I have until mid august to buy, and I'm in Canada if that helps.

Hello my name is Jeffrey and I work for ASUS Customer Loyalty Team

Looks like they have already been released in June 3rd and the 18th.

Looks like both battery last up to 7 hours.

So now it depends on preference if you wand an SSD drive or a laptop with bigger storage space HDD.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the reply. I'm in Canada, and memoryExpress doesn't currently have them... yet.. maybe. I'm really looking forward to the U47VC as it's got the backlit keyboard, I read one of the reviews for U47A with the 2nd gen i7, the person said it only lasts 4-5 hours. Could that be due to the sandy bridge? Perhaps Ivy Bridge could get 1-2 hours more? I mean only on wifi and word processing.
