How realiable is this product? Would you recommend it for a small office looking for setting up a redundant Internet connection?

Windows 8. SOMETIMES you can get the seller to give you a disk for 7. I am using Linux Mint. Way better than Windows and free but I have 7for dual boot just in case.

I bought one early this year, same specs except it came with Win7 Pro 32bit.Did not ship with "system recovery disk set" or a recovery partition on the HD. Later, I was sent a "system image" and a Win7 repair disk as an after request. All vendors are different at to what you get in the box, despite the generic description. If you don't get what is listed, complain to the vendor first.

I think you're referring to the hardware version, not the firmware version. Seems like luck of the draw when you order. I purchased one of these around october 2013 and received a hardware v1 model. Just purchased a 2nd for another location and it is v2.

No sure, although when I check PC info, it says Windows 8, So 'm assuming just the consumer version.

Thanks for the info. I did purchase the VN5200-PC Version some months ago but I do appreciate the reply.

I just read the side of my box, it only indicates windows platforms 7,8 and vista. Sorry.

My machine only has USB 2.0, so I can't say anything about higher versions, sorry...

I have both versions available. Sorry for the confusion on the description I will change it as soon as possible.

I believe the H837 is the latest version, but there are more capable versions out there (3d simulation etc), maybe just not on Amazon.

I'm also looking at this laptop myself. I've been wondering if it will run fine with Linux, and from the input here things are looking good! I'm looking to run Debian, probably the testing branch as it has a little more up-to-date kernel and software, but I'm also considering Arch. That distro is always on the bleeding edge so the most recent software should (hopefully) pick up every piece of hardware on this machine.

Has anyone had any luck hearing when or if the i7 version will be available?

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

Seems like it must be available elsewhere as well, but the only place I found a downloadable version was on NewEgg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168168429000SF However, it's currently not much cheaper and actually after mail in rebate on boxed version more exspensive. They do a have a 30day trial for download on Parallels website. I don't know if it can be upgraded w/a serial number from a boxed version. https://nct.tryparallels.com/fulfill/0285.001

My preference is fo OEM over upgrade but back up your data first of course. Can't guarantee everything (sw/hw) will work going from 32 to 64 bit but there are usually workarounds.
