I've been running Win 11 since it's infancy and sure, when first released it was "buggy", no surprise but as it was updated it seemed to be much better. Now after using it for quite some time I've run into problems like a pop up that appears on the desktop and then quichly disappears, tried...

Loaded Win 11 when first released. Used it for a couple of days and removed it. Now, here it is again many updates later so loaded it again. Well, it's certainly different than W 10 but, "it's a keeper this time!" So a bit of a learning curve but, work great.

Probably fine for someone who surfs the net and sends emails but if you're computer savvy, it's a pain in the "you know what!"

Don't know what to say? Loaded Win 11 on my 5600CPU and, it's works fine but, removed it already. Hate it! I'll stick with Win 10 as long as possible!

I've been following Hard Forum for years and reading about so many problems that other members have had with both hardware and Win 10. Am I just lucky after building several new desktop computers loaded with Win 10? I've had no hardware issues on any of them and have kept up to date on all Win10...

Well, finally took the plunge and updated my computers t0 2004 and, all is well! So far no issues hoorah!

If you want to continue with the relative reliability, DO NOT LOAD the 2004 update! Still has bugs in it!

There appears to multiple problems with the 2004 update as you will see reading many complaints including Windows disk optimizer/defrag claiming that it has never been run before. I removed the 2004 update and all is well again. I would suggest that you hold off on the 2004 update with the hope...

Fooled with it twice, I HATE IT!!! Unnecessary complication!

Loaded Windows 8 Beta a few days ago. Been playing around with it in a attempt to find out why it even exists? My initial reaction? I will stick with Windows 7, which I'm very happy with and Microsoft, you can keep 8, it's not for me!!

I must be lucky! I've been using a Linksys WRT54GS ( ver. 7 ) for quite a few years now and have never had any issues with it dropping out. The only thing I've done is a firmware upgrade and it's performed flawlessly!

Have been using a Kingston V+ 128GB SSD for about 6 months now on both my desktop and one on my laptop. I understand its performance may not be the fastest but, so far, so good, no problems of any kind. Anyone else have any experience or comments?

The JW 17 inch has one USB 3.0 and three USB 2.0 ports plus HDMI, still no eSATA. Shown on one of the YouTube videos. Not sure about the 15 inch but pretty sure it's the same.

To anyone interested, there are video reviews by xoticpc, of the new Asus JW series, on YouTube. Now with a USB 3.0 output and various other changes.

Won't know how it will perform until I've had a chance to check it out. The few write ups I've seen on the Nvidia 400M series are inconclusive. Other than that, it has much going for it including a 15.6 inch LED backlit 1920 x 1080 screen, two hard drive bays, one of which will contain a 128GB...
