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.

No no... im glad you brought it up. It’s false advertising on ASUS's part. Either that diag. software is dead wrong, you have the wrong mobo, or ASUS officially is downgraded BIGTIME in my book... I mean… USB 1.1 is outdated by… HOW many years?

jabronie505 · 05-10-2005, 02:33 AM

yup, device manager only shows one of the ports as being 2.0... minor disappointment...,

FriedRicE · 05-10-2005, 09:13 AM

so hardware wise its stuck at USB 2.0?

Bahama.Llama · 05-10-2005, 09:18 AM

I just got off of support with Gwen from ISTNC and she said she'd have to get back to me later in the day. It could be a simple driver issue

Djembe · 05-10-2005, 09:21 AM

maybe that's what the updated BIOS is for? (hope springs eternal)

B Nietsnie · 05-10-2005, 09:40 AM

Hopefully they are all 2.0... that would really suck if they werent. False advertising on Asus...

Bahama.Llama · 05-10-2005, 10:30 AM
