This new laptop feature set is almost as solid as that of the Asus U46E-BAL. It's equipped with a USB 3.0 port, which transfers data at 10 times the speed of USB 2.0. There are two USB 2.0 ports on the right side, giving the ID47H02u. Like every other mainstream laptop, it has HDMI andVGA video-out ports, Ethernet, and a multimedia card reader. The built-in DVD burner isn't as glamorous as the Blu-ray drive found in the Sony EG16FM, but you wouldn't expect that from a $700 laptop. You'll get a slightly bigger hard drive with the Asus U46E-BAL5 (640GB), but the ID47H02u's 500GB hard drive isn't too shabby for mediaphiles.
