    Hello,

    First I have never purchased a ASUS Notebook, is ASUS a reliable brand? Tech support? Ordering process good?



    Has anyone heard anything about the next-gen ASUS 17 + inch Laptops or gaming Laptops? Which will have Haswell processors. I know they won’t arrive until Haswell arrives but do they usually announce something ahead of the release before they become available to purchase?



    Haswell is due out next month so could we be seeing images/teasers or hearing something this month with availability next month?



    I’m looking for a Full HD display, all USB ports to be 3.0, possibly 1 Thunderbolt port (I think ASUS has a 17 + inch notebook with this already) and good SSD+HDD combinations like 80-256 SSD and a 500-750 HDD and NO Optical drive (wishful thinking on this) other then that, I don’t think that’s too much to ask for at all in what’s soon to be mid 2013 Infact there are probably notebooks that have these specs I’m just not sure if there are any 17 inch Laptops.
