The UL80 series of Asus laptops was a thin-and-light version of laptop in their many line-ups of offerings. The UL80 mostly consist of ULV Core 2 Duo processors, with the newest/eventual models equipping with 1st generation Core i3 ULV processors (i3-330UM version). While this is an older model laptop (it is currently succeeded by U41JF form Asus), you can occasionally find some decent deal on the UL80JT model, which is currently hovering around the price range of low $600 to high $680.
Some surprising perk from the $600 ish thin laptop is a discrete GPU with the Nvidia NV 425M with 1GB of DDR3 video RAM along with Nvidia Optimus technology so you can switch to the integrated Intel HD graphics to save on battery life while you're not intensive graphical work. Additional nice perk includes the 2 year warranty along with the 1 year accidental damage warranty.

If you're looking for that a cheap Core i7 laptop look no further than this refurbished 14-inch Asus U46E. Thin design, light weight, and a Core i7 processor which should be able to run most workload intense programs. Next best refurb price is $650 but usually found in the $700s.

One of the lowest price Core i7 laptop you'll see anywhere with this refurbished Asus U46E laptop, one of the thinnest 14-inch laptop Asus offers (at just a tad over an inch thick).
