    I was looking around on the web, and i saw that several Asus laptops have battery problems. It wasn't actually the battery itself, but it was something to do with the BIOS or something like that.

    I was wondering if any Asus users out there have seen a significant battery decrease in every week.

    I also was wondering if anyone knew when the new Transformer book was going to come out, and if so, what are your thoughts about this?

    As a new potential customer to Asus, i was wondering if any current Asus laptop users could give a feel as to the build quality of Asus laptops, and if so, what laptop you use.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hi prostar computer.

    Thank you for your contribution. Should I be worried about the upcoming transformer book/vivo to have battery problems? Also, is there an easy fix to the battery wear issue?

    Thank you once again :)

    There is a myriad of software and tips for optimizing battery power, and they DO help. The battery wear is something that is only going to be exacerbated over time; sadly, no Li-Ion or Lithium Polymer battery will last forever. But you can help prevent the rate of wear to a degree.

    I wouldn't worry much about the new Vivo's battery.Only time will tell for sure, but I gather with current issues - which aren't horrendous by any means - the battery will be okay. :)

    Happy New Year! This is my last post before we enter 2013.
