    Yes, does any owners care to share experiences on the usability of X205,
    example, if the X205 feels "uncomfortably" too THICK for normal working long hours on the laptop....etc.

    Also, the power-brick (big?) seems to be 180W! vs the usual 90W or even 60W on some asus....
    Why is this so? and what are the implications?

    Thanks.

    In regards to usability.. my only real complaint is the layout of ports. I wish they had placed some of the ports on the back of the computer. My notebook stays in one place for a long time - So potentially they may get in the way - though I've only had a couple USB devices hooked up so far and its been fine. Just note that the USB ports are on the front side. I'd also have preferred to have the power port in the back.....

    One side bonus of this is that there's nothing in the back getting in the way if you are short on desk space.

    Also, they audio jacks are in the very front... I haven't used them yet but they migbht conceivably get in the way.

    The power brick is big......and its bulky....

    I'm very happy with the design. Its big and heavy but its NOT THAT "BIG AND HEAVY".
    USB ports on both sides, Very quiet even during heavy gaming.

    As for that "brick", Yes you could easily knock someone out with just one hit !
