    Why are the laptops not ordered by screen size?

    Is there anywhere that I can find Asus laptops ordered by size? Does the first number in the name (eg. the "3" in "h32jd") denote the screen size? 3 for 13", 4 for 14"?

    Thanks!

    Yes. If you want to find anything that's lower than 14", you need to select "Superior Mobility" tab.

    After that, its quite straight forward. "3" denotes 13", "5" denotes 15", and "4" denotes 14".

    thanks!

    but why are there... 5 different 13" under superior mobility?

    then there's the 13" under bamboo edition

    and the 13" under business

    Because Asus marketing has always set this up in the fashion that they believe fits their global approach to sales.

    Their marketing has always been about product categories rather than size/specs. Rather different than US marketing approaches that we are used to being fed by Dell/HP/etc over the years.
