Any unbiased reviews? Is there a compelling reason to upgrade?

Oliver, QB 2004 Pro is set to "sunset" May 31, 2007 per the Quickbooks website http://www.quickbooks.com/support/policy/sunset.html I rcvd a paper mailing from Intuit today hawking the upgrade. They did include a $20 off coupon good at several retailers, including amazon. I don't think that is much of a break for upgrading. I'm using QB Pro 2005 and I guess I'll be waiting till May 31, 2008 to upgrade :-) ...Ken

Everything I read about it on netbooks has been really good. I'm going to do the update sometime this week or this weekend. I'll let you know what I think.

I believe I am eligible for the upgrade as it is past its release date...however, I have not updated mine.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

The machine I received shipped with 8 and you then run the upgrade to 8.1 locally. Its a significant improvement. I can't say if the later released machines will ship with 8 or 8.1, but if you have a decent broadband connection you're fine.

I had no problem upgrading to 8.1 - Asus have excellent customer service so I suggest you contact them.

damn, i'd like to know this too. specifically, which one runs quieter and cooler? and furthermore, which one is more reliable?

Yes it is... I haven't done so yet, as the performance is fine without expansion (so far)... But it was one of the criteria I used in selecting this particular model.

I got the computer about a year ago and I put in a Nvidia 750 and a new 480 watt PSU and it all went fine. The computer is quite upgradable and has a lot of open space inside. It has extra ports for additional ram and another hard drive. The only downside is sort of silly, the power supply that's in it must be somewhat unique as the new one I got and other I've looked at don't have a port for the LED near the bottom of the face, which indicates which power setting you're on. Long story short, you should have no problem upgrading this machine.

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.

Yes it's worth the upgrade! 10 times higher contrast ratio. With a projector, that is everything.

I'm also looking for this upgrade but I have a feeling we've been given bad information. I don't see anywhere on the VMware website about a free upgrade for recently purchased product. Only a paid upgrade. Chris L, where is it that you are entering your serial number online?

hi men, actually i don't think so.i saw they have an upgraded version i dont really know what has better the upgraded one.

I have not had the need to upgrade, but I know when I bought it there were options on how much RAM so I assume it can be upgraded after purchase. My experience is that unlike desktops, a laptop should be worked on by a professional unless you are really comfortable opening them up.

Here's the thing, I threw out the packaging. Either way, Monster still quarantee's that if product becomes obsolete, they will upgrade for free. I believe 15.8 is the current standard. Sorry not of much assistance.

When you look at the content of this new upgrade - it does look substantial - the best thing to do is email Reunion and ask for confirmation. They are pretty good and answering questions and for your piece of mind it is better to get the information you need from 'the horses mouth'.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.
