You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

Not an issue for me, as I don't need to use more than 1 USB 2.0 device at a time, but be warned if you've got multiple USB 2.0 devices that you want to hook up at the same time: It won't work!

It's actually a problem with Sandra, not with the Z71v. It's cleared up now.

hmmm thankx for the info, you r right though i only use 1 usb2.0 at the time... but its kinda odd that there is only 1 2.0 and 4 1.1s

Can you take some screen shots of Sandra for us? I wanna see this for myself (it just sounds so unbelievable

)

*EDIT*
Rick is the man:
ISTNC: I dont have one to test with, but I will forwarn an email to my crew telling them I want it tested
ISTNC: I am in Houston right now
ISTNC: I have ASUS in IM's right now
Bahama.Llama: really?
ISTNC: ASUS is claiming that they are all 2.0
ISTNC: yesh, my rep
ISTNC: I have never tested this
ISTNC: never felt a reason to

Spaxspore · 05-09-2005, 01:19 PM
