Asus Notebook With Windows 8

I recently bought this to replace the aging HDD in my Asus G73JW notebook (almost 9 years old). This drive is just as amazing as you would think it should be. I went from booting WIN10 in roughtly 2-3 minutes to about 30s. Thirty three seconds to be exact, from power on to the WIN10 login screen. One minute after that all of my background apps are loaded.

No knock on the product, but I had hoped it would connect my USB -B ported laser printer to the USB-C port on my notebook. It's an older printer and the port is USB 2.0 standard. The description for this cable said USB 2.0 so I hoped Windows would recognize the printer. The printer manufacturer (very well known Brand) does not provide a driver for Windows 10, but their Website says Windows 10 comes with a driver for it. This printer worked with my previous Windows 10 notebook via USB, and via ethernet worked with previous Windows versions back to XP. The computer would see the printer and list it's name, but would not install the driver. I tried a few other USB adapters with same problem and no luck. Turns out you need software in addition to hardware to make this conversion. I have since obtained a Startech port adapter for connecting my notebook to dual monitors, mouse, keyboard, ethernet, and the printer all through the notebooks 1 free USB-C port. Had to install drivers for the port adapter first, but now everything is working great. If you have a new printer, with installation software, this cable may work just fine. If your printer is old, you will need a port adapter with software.

Every windows PC notebook I've ever owned has died within the first 2-3 years (IBM, Fujitsu, Sony), its just the nature of that sort of machine (they get too hot), so having a 3 year warranty on a notebook is a must. B&H Photo had the best deal available on the Applecare 3 year warranty.... Quite simple to activate, just go to the Apple website enter the ID within the received Applecare box, the machine serial number and you're done. Received a confirming email from Apple within 30 seconds of activating. Piece of mind for the next 3 years ^-^

It’s so nice to have a apple based notebook rather than a windows based one. It’s fast, screen is super easy to read and most important my wife loves it!!!.. our 2023 Christmas gift to each other.

I love my new notebook. The only issues I have is with new Windows 11, but I'll get there. Graphics. Sound, camera etc. are great. Battery lasts awhile.

8 x Splitter works as described. Great unit.

I bought this to replace an ASUS, which had multiple screens, and which was troublesome from the getgo. This computer is very user-friendly. I'm surprised at how much I like Windows 11, and the transfer from the Windows 10 ASUS was much easier than I expected. In fact, the only thing I don't like about this ACER is the 16x10 display. I typically use a 43 external screen for display, and wind up with black screen on both edges. Otherwise, the laptop display is gorgeous, the touch screen is just sensitive enough, the keyboard has a really nice feel and layout, it's quite fast, the touchpad is sized right, and it's pretty light.

Using an Asus ux501vw laptop, Windows 10, latest drivers and firmware. Works great! Write speed (Raid 0) 350MB/sec. Moved 1TB without any problems.

Replaced Optiarc AD-7240S which did not work with Windows 10. ASUS DRW-24B1ST was a good choice for replacement.

Works great connecting my TB2 Raid to my Windows Asus ProArt Studiobook Laptop. Allows me to get continued use of my expensive Raid 2 storage array well into the future maximizing return on my investment. Highly recommended !!
