A friend just gave me a copy of: Acronis True Image Home Boot CD ( he has a three comp license...and only two comps)


Anyways...this has got to be the best back/restore software I've ever seen...no muss, no fuss, no install needed...it'll do FULL Image backups and restores...and backups and restores of how ever many files, folder etc., you choose.

I've been a faithful user or Norton Ghost 2003 for years, and I loved it. Simple interface, fast backup and restores etc. The Acronis True Image Home Boot CD, is 10 times better...and way faster. Works on all Windows, Linux, Unix and can back up and restore to anything..aka DVD's USB drives, flash or otherwise, External HDD's SC cards...anything. It'll clone HDD's or HDD to SSD or SSD to SSD etc.

For the near future I'll still keep Norton Ghost installed, but if I don't come across any issues that Acronis True Image Home Boot CD, can't solve...Ghost is going out the window.

Not configured...so it's a pointless post

By the time you put all the crap in that clevo that's already in this ASUS...you'll be way over $2000 ^^


Btw, the reason the prices on laptops and notebooks are going UP lately...is because most of the idiots in the world think that Windows 8 is going to be a GOOD thing :/

...and the manufacturer's know this...and are adjusting prices to fit the Windows 8 market :/

...and no SSD...as I said....You just can't beat ASUS in the notebook world...for the same price


so please stop spamming this post with this Clevo crap...when everyone already KNOWS that ASUS has 24/7 notebook tech support...and honors their warranties as well.



....AND Newegg sells extended warranty as well...so the 3 year you BOUGHT at Sager is not an issue...and you still don't have SSD or Blu Ray
