super awesome reddit machine
Every picture I can find online shows an eSATA/USB combo port. The ES71 does NOT have this port. There is a standard USB port where the eSATA combo port is shown in the pictures. Read more ...
PROSPurely spectacular build quality. The aluminum finish is great and the whole thing feels solid in general. The specs kind of speak for themselves, but it's quite responsive and plenty powerful. Screen is beautiful, can't ask for better than 1920x1080 on a laptop.
CONSASUS loves to partition hard drives for their customers. This isn't a big deal, but it's mildly annoying to me as it creates an extra step when I go to partition the disk how I want it.
