Hahaha - there is a mini USB port, yes in 2021!

Mini USB connector? 2021? The device I received was manufactured in 2021, but the USB connector on it is a mini USB. This connector dates back several generations and predates the micro-USB connector. Yes, the device comes with cables, but if you lose them, good luck finding one easily - you'll have to order it instead of using today's standard Micro-USB or USB-C cables, which are plentiful, hell, I probably have a dozen of them. Cables can easily get lost, especially on a portable device, so that's not a good thing. I still like Asus. It is probably an inconspicuous commodity for them. The device itself looks very nice and well assembled. I'm just disappointed with the use of the mini USB port.

Pros
  • CD and DVD drives
Cons
  • Expensive
