I just got this laptop as a gift from my friend, how do I know which USB ports are the 3.0 ones? I know DEVICES are blue, but the ports?

An easy way to test that out is to have a 3.0 flash drive and transfer a 2-4gig file (a movie works nicely) and compare the speed. The 3.0 is noticeably faster. I found that the instructions that came with my laptop were not reliable in that regard. I hope this of some help to you.

The usb cable it comes with has 2 different ends to connect to your computer. I am guessing one is 3.0 but I don't know the difference to look at them.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Mine has been working great since I've received it. I would recommend this product to anyone. Have you tried a different USB port? Try asking for a replacement, the price is just too good.

The laptop comes with 4 USB ports, 2 on each side and there is also a VGA connector on the left side. Let me know if you have any further questions.

my PC has 2 USB ports that are 3.0 if that's the question you're referring to

Are you getting any USB 3.0 devices recognized as 3.0? If not, then you may need to ensure you have the correct USB drivers installed.

Correct. As in the description...2 of the 4 USB ports on top are 3.0. Of course, your mainboard will need to have 3.0 headers to connect these to.

I just opened mine from Amazon.com. I can confirm that it has the blue USB 3.0 port on it as well as Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

I purchased mine in 2009.It was in 2008 that USB 3.0 was first introduced, and it wasn't until November 2009 that consumers first had electronics that utilized 3.0. Another indication of 3.0 was a blue usb end, the one on my cable came white. So, I would say unless these are new cords, not over-stock or mass productions, these are 2.0. Hope this helps!

Yeaah, apparently NONE of the netbooks that Asus advertises with USB 3.0 are actually available with USB 3.0, at least not to Americans anyway. I think it's dumb that they don't allow you to configure your own computer on their site like other manufacturers, such as Sony and Toshiba. That would avoid so much confusion.

I have Win7 on my Acer V3-771G and the 7 bay USB 2.0 works just fine. Which device did you purchase (2.0 or 3..0)? And, perchance, did you plug it into the wrong port?

There are two USB 3.0 ports. Each port has an identifying USB symbol preceded by the initials SS (for super speed) to indicate USB 3.0.

Spec sheet says USB 3.0, where are you seeing 2.0 ? http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/server/content/pdfs/datasheets/ThinkServer_TS130_Datasheet.pdf

It has 2 USB ports. One faster USB 3.0 (which works as a slower USB 2.0 port too) on the left side of the laptop, and a USB 2.0 on the right side. I never have a problem with the number of ports because I bought a Bluetooth wireless mouse and a wireless printer. Actually, I never use the USB ports at all anymore except to plug in my external hard drive to backup...

Here is the description in the specs: Laptop USB Slots SuperSpeed USB 3.0, 1 Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 Hope this helps. Thank you for your interest.

It says 2.0, but most standard USB 3.0 built into laptops are usually backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
