    I'm considering ordering this port replicator for my month-old (and absolutely amazing) M6BNe widescreen. Just curious if anyone has any experiences with it, positive or negative. Also, I can't find this at any online retailers I've done business with, so if someone could recommend a website to buy from I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks to everyone who posted reviews and answered my questions on the M6 and other laptops -- I'm very happy with my decision, and I wouldn't have considered the M6 if not for reviews and opinions on this forum.

    I was going to get the portbar as well, but it was selling for around $250 here in Aust. so I decided that a 7portUSB hub for $60 would do about the same thing, as only use the USB ports to connect to my external devices. I'm guessing your from the states, thus I cant offer any suggestions for places to go sorry...maybe try giving asus an email to see if they can suggest a local dealer?

    I looked at it when I was shopping around for mine, but decided it didn't offer anything substantially better than a USB hub. I don't see any value there...
