Aside from being a high-visibility orange color, what's are the appreciable differences between this and version I can buy on Newegg.com for $4?

Cables come in all styles, quality and durability standards, so choosing the right cables are important. The Tether Tools TetherPro cables are made to the highest quality standards, fully shielded, ferrite cores and fully insulated. TetherPro cables are designed for large volume data transfer often found in RAW files. Additionally, if there are power sources nearby it may interfere causing corrupt files, dropped connections or slow file transfer. Which slows down a photo shoot and causes frustrations.

Did you buy the ASUS netbook yet? I've narrowed it down to this model, and would like to get something other than the popular "Black" color.I think I'm leaning towards the "Blue" color. I asked someone that bought the blue ASUS and they said it's darker blue than the picture and has purple highlights. I think that's a color I would like. Whatever color you choose really comes down to your own personal preference. Good Luck in choosing if you haven't already!!

Newegg lists the V2 for the same price. Amazon can't be bothered to update their listing, just buy from Newegg.

I agreed I usally order from newegg. I thought I would give amazon a try, but it seems like they take forever. I dont' think I will buy from amazon again. unless they have some crazy low price.

Boy that larger screen is pretty appealing to me! I'm actually hoping that Amazon will have it for more like $500. Newegg seems to be a little more expensive on other items when compared to Amazon. Plus Newegg charges another $20 to ship. Fingers crossed.....

I havnent noticed a difference in either of them. My guess is, solid black appeals to the majority of consumers than a bright orange, so they're charging more for the item with the most demand to make more money.

I believe it is a typo on Amazon's part. I got it from Amazon and it is LED, as described on Asus' website. Btw, amazing colors, highly recommended.

newegg is out of stock. The Amazon product linked by David Webb is more expensive (black case) and shows a 3-6 week shipping estimate. Any other potential sources?

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.

Colors look different on different monitors. The color I got was o.k., I didn't notice a difference from online.

I bought mine last week; it has "a high-res full color graphical display". The greater portion of the information displayed is orange or white against a black background.

If this is the ASUS in Best Buy this week for $799 (down from $999), I noticed the same dim-ness. I checked floor models at two Best Buys today, because everything else about the laptop is perfect for me, but both screens were dim. The salesmen said it was on maximum brightness. Photos taken in bright sunshine looked dull. It's a crisp monitor but dark. The $599 model actually has better brightness than this Zenbook. Steve 12/14/13

It doesn't look much different to me except for that eyefinity technology but it claims to do the same thing. I had to put a new power supply in with my Video Card, a Corsair 600W. The one you're looking at only requires 300W or better so you wouldn't have to swap out your power supply unless you're looking for AMD Crossfire technology, you'll have to go to a 400W power supply. My video card is very big and take up a lot of room. For the money, it looks like you have a found a comparable card for $100 less. I have had no problems for a year with my card and just this past Sunday, removed it and put it in my new PC with no issues. Good luck sir.
