Usb 3.0
I am looking to purchase a new laptop. I am not in a hurry and I was wondering when laptops, specifically, Asus and Dell, will have USB 3.0 ports and if it is worth the wait. After this purchase I plan to keep it for many years as I am not one to constantly upgrade. Thanks.

Desktop motherboards with usb 3 will be out this spring but I wouldn't expect a laptop before winter 2010/11.

I am expecting at least 18+ months before we start to see enough products with usb 3.0 capability. Even when Asus does come out with a 3.0 laptops, it will be of little significance given the lack of USB 3.0 products.

Thanks for your info and the article. I guess I should have bought that Asus on sale last week. Oh well, I keep looking. Thanks again.
