Pros: Truly wide gamut (100%+ Adobe RGB) Great Ports Easily Configured Price compared to similar monitors is pretty good Solid Warranty (though I haven't made any attempt to use it)

Cons: Heavy (but not meant to be moved, so not much of an issue) Could always be cheaper Silly grid button feature

Overall Review: Really love this monitor. It's great for photo editing and does wonders toward making prints which look the way you intend. The price is stomachable, and even for general productivity, 24" is pretty useful.

Pros: Easy to assemble, solid, eSATA

Cons: I too have the sleep issue (running on Windows XP). The enclosure puts the drive to sleep after a few minutes without use, and it takes a few seconds to get it spinning again, which can be extremely aggravating and locks up the whole system, since most programs assume the drive will be immediately accessible. Don't see any way to change this behavior...

Pros: Capacity, Price

Cons: Slow speed, and a major hassle on XP. After loading the drive into the included enclosure, I attempted to initialize and format into a single partition. Halfway through formatting, I received an error message. This occurred 2 more times before I noticed the label on the drive itself stating that on XP, the jumpers should be set to 7-8, or WD software should be used for alignment. Since I had no way to adjust the jumpers, I attempted to find the WD Align program. To obtain it, I needed to fully register the drive with WD (give E-mail, address, etc.), at which point I was able to download the software. The alignment process took 25 hours, at which point I was finally able to format the drive. If I'd have known how complicated this was going to be, I would have certainly purchased another drive. Also note that the warranty and return policies on this drive are very strict.

Overall Review: Overall not worth the hassle for a tiny bit of savings.

Pros: Great look, great performance (I upgraded mine to T7200) and extremely solid construction.

Cons: Fn key and Ctrl key switched, location of some ports (Kensington lock port and a USB port overlap, how easily the buttons which line the laptop are to hit while moving it

Overall Review: So far, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. The build-quality is unbeatable and the specs are top-notch. Though I paid a bit more than a Dell or HP with comparable specs, I'm confident everything from the support to the build quality more than make up for the price difference. There are some minor annoyances which could be corrected by Asus to make this laptop a 100% dream machine, but at the moment it's not too far off.
