RE: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
USB3 2.5 drives can be bus powered - no need for a separate power cable. eSata requires separate power supply unless you have an eSataP ports (looks like a port that has a combination of eSata and USB connectors in the one port) The Sony laptop I have has a USB3.0 port, but no eSata/eSataP ports. I'm also finding that enclosures with a USB 3.0 port are much easier to find than enclosures that have an eSataP port (I do have one, but I had to import it from the US). If it has eSata + USB, you still need to run two cables between your laptop and the enclosure.

It's just the next version of USB which will make it much more common than eSATA in the future. My laptop has USB3 and it's a lower-end Lenovo from last year.

Re: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
Mine has a mixed eSATA and USB3 on it. When I went to price external drives the best deal for me at the time was an eSATA enclosure. That said if the prices had been better I would have gone with a USB3 but only because it would have been backward compatible with more devices than the eSATA.

RE: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
I don't have any experience with the current models, but I have an Asus laptop that's several years old and has held up like a champ. I keep it because it has a ginormous screen. So in terms of durability, I have no complaints. I also have a Lenovo netbook that I love. It's small, light, has good battery life, and performs well. Lenovo tends to be pretty innovative, despite having some boring-looking models. So, I wouldn't rule them out without exploring their product line fully. When I travel, I often take both. I leave the Asus in my hotel room, and carry the Lenovo into meetings. This gives me the best of both worlds. But this fall, I hope to finally trade both for a new unit that has a big screen but is also light and has all-day battery life. I'm thinking Ivy Bridge + Windows 8 will make for some great options.

Asus's design and build quality generally seems good, in my limited experience. A lot of big-name laptops are actually built by Asus via contract. The biggest problem is support, I don' think Asus has any field support presence in the US.

Re: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
This doesn't apply to your situation, but I just bought a monster ASUS laptop to take with me on the road. I am on the road the next 2 months and possibly until July. I needed something so I could continue my writing while traveling. Core i7 quad-core w/HT, 17.3 screen, 16GB RAM and 2 500GB HDs – will run 5 VMs very well. It may run more but I only have 5 right now. This is my last day at current customer before I hit the road for 2 months and maybe 6 months. The guys here are really liking the laptop.

RE: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
We've been quite pleased with ASUS portables - but Ben (no, the other one) has a good point. If you had to have warranty service on one you'd probably have to mail it. Ben M.

Re: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
Got one on Tues. -- so far it is pretty good. has had no issues with any tasks yet, is already on ICS. The docking keyboard is pretty slick and helps form a ultrabook type setup if you leave it connected. Battery life is good. I am still in infancy stages of full testing -- have not tried remote desktop yet or any complex games. Flixster app allowed me to download my ultraviolet collection. Everything ran smoothly; streaming from youtube was pretty good. Hope this helps. -- Matt Cross mailto:mrforkl...@gmail.com On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 10:20 AM, Erik Goldoff egold...@gmail.com wrote: OT but related, anyone get their hands on an ASUS Prime tablet yet ?

Re: ASUS laptops/notepbooks
My sister in law has a very old one back many years ago that although battered half to death still is plugging along. We finally couldn't take it anymore and pooled money and got her a low end replacement for it this christmas. It was like 6 or 7 years old. Im shocked that it hadn't died yet.
