Hi there
I'm in the market for a decent laptop -- I don't want a huge screen but something decently portable that could be plugged into a nice large monitor / docking station when I'm not travelling -- a 14 inch screen is probably the largest I'd want.
So I saw a nice i7 powered ASUS at a decent price -- but looking at the Specs there is NOWHERE on it that says whether it has ANY USB ports at all (I'd ideally like 3 but could manage with 2 and I want USB3 ports).
Asus VIVO - INTEL CORE i7-3517U 4GB 500GB INTEL INTEGRATED GRAPHICS BT/CAM NO OPTICAL 14 INCH TOUCHS - Laptops Direct
So here's another customer they've lost -- not because the product is horrible -- but if the store can't be bothered to write even BASIC info in the spec then I'm not doing business with them. With PC sales declining they need to push for every sale they can make - but they aren't helping their own cause by omitting basic info and I'm not spending ages on the phone finding out either.
So guys - if any of you are in the selling business PLEASE present at least the "Usual" specs -- I'm sure also people DO want USB3 slots on a laptop now -- and they certainly want to know if they have ANY USB slots at all and how many.
Cheers
