Anyone know if there are differences between the EX6220 and EX7200, except the wireless part? Is it true that the wireless aspect is mostly useless?

wireless feature works well for our small network. Don't know the difference between to two models though.

I'm not sure what the differences are between the two. But my experience with the wireless part was it was basically useless. Video was not watchable at 720p or above. However the wireless function was ok for PowerPoint presentations and slides I did not test slides with audio. The picture was good and clear as well as bright. But the video was a deal breaker for us.

pretty good. the xw-sma4 sounds allot better. I have had issues with the connection every now and then, however I believe it is the router)

616 was on sale not the 626. 616 for $319 was a kick but deal because even though it did not have the wireless, it is THX certified and has an additional 5 watts. If you don't need the wireless, or even if you do need the wireless it was a killer deal new. If you are in dorms and can't use the Wi-Fi it was the best choice dollar for dollar for a new unit in the same category. No shadiness here

I would stay away from this laptop. If you research it there is a serious issue with the wireless. I bough it thinking I could deal with it but had to return it. That was 6 months ago and I just saw another samsung model with the exact same issue.

IMHO, yes. 95W vs 75. MultiEQ XT vs MultiEQ. I personally have no use for bluetooth and I'd rather have wired ethernet than wifi. If you can score a good deal on the x2000, go for it!

X2000 seems to have a bit more per channel power: 95w vs 75w. the 700 has 2 LFE subwoofer outs, the X2000 only one. the X2000 has front HDMI IN (camera) which I don't think the X700 has. think the 700 only gets a 2-year warranty vs 3-years for the X2000. I have my X2000 directly wired to my home WLAN AP and so WiFi is not an issue for me. I have Apple IOS Devices and Airplay does what I need - generally BT has more limit range and fidelity depending on the available audio profiles. Personally I would not base my decision on built-in WiFi & BT.

One big difference for me is that 616 is WiFi ready and the 626 has it built in. They sell a USB wireless adaptor but that just ups the overall cost.

I am not sure how accurate this will be because it is based on product descriptions I've read while printer hunting. It appears as though the only difference is the 7525 may have an ethernet port the 7520 does not, making the 7520 is Wi-Fi only.

I considered the N600 before making my purchase. I ended up going with the d6200 because of the 'ac' features and speed. N band seems slow by comparison now, at least for me.

I own this model and I'm having the WiFi issue Asus is no help their website is useless and the customer service is poor. I will reply when I figure it out, updating the driver did nothing and upgrading to WinDos 10 same.

What about the ES8228S? Is this one an improvement on the 8168? Other than some ebay listings, I haven't found much info anywhere.

I don't own one, but I've extensively researched it online and "played" with it at BestBuy. If you need a compact, advanced, wireless laptop then I don't see how you could go wrong here. With VMFusion or Paralells, you can even run Windoze on it without rebooting. This is a sweet piece of technology.

Yeah, I got Ubuntu running on the X3 (same compy, just silver and a smaller HDD and rated 1 hour less battery life). Natively, only the sound drivers work [with the fn vol +/-/mute working] (neither the ethernet or wireless worked). I found some forum that I don't recall googling about it, and some guy suggested buying an ethernet usb hub to get the necessary packages... Waste of 44bucks. I used ubuntu backports [I am trying to find the packages to link..], restarted and it was running both wireless (with med-strong signal strength compared to win7 with strong+ at this distance) and wired. It glitched once, but a restart and update got it working fine. Without the interwebs on it, you have to download the .deb packages on another system and bring them over with a flashdrive. Screen brightness control so far only works on two settings (adjusted using FN+num key). I haven't messed with it much to get it fully working. Compiz: Fully working, all the effects I like are enabled (i.e. Animations, Cube, 3D windows, etc). I guess that is all to say, if you're a linux nerd like me - you can get it working. It just takes some research and basic know how. EDIT: Oh, and battery life on every laptop I have ever put linux on as lost battery life... I know with mad customization you can get it better. But with battery rated at 11.5hrs for mine, I run Ubuntu for around 6.5 easy (with full performance enabled)... That is just my short experience with it.

You can install version 7.7.3 currently directly from Western Digital - it works fine. I have it installed on the EX2 as a backup to my Netgear ReadyNAS and they work almost identically. You will have to rely on WD to update the add-on package from time to time ( the current version from Logitech is 7.7.5 )

Thanks for your reply. I bought the 270 a few weeks back. The interface is still the old 200-series interface, not the newer 205 interface, with faster screen refresh.

Hi, I don't know if it's the same one but if the pictures don't match then I would think its different On another not, I would *not* recommend buying the 7520. It continually drops off the network or crashes in some other way. I am not happy with it. Best regards, Rick
