I don't use suspend and hibernate, so not sure about that. Sound and webcam worked without problems. Supposedly, the driver will soon be built into the kernel.
Then I was able to install the other tools I needed to build the driver. So, I downloaded the wpa_supplicant rpm and its one dependency, libnl, onto another computer, put it on a USB stick then installed it. The ethernet connection (that is, the USB dongle to ethernet) needed a driver. So, while I was able to install over the network, upon first boot, I had no network connection. Wireless works out of the box-I had a minor problem, as I did a minimal network install, and it didn't install wpa_supplicant. The one on the right is USB 3 which is nice, though in my case, where I don't often use external USB storage drives, probably won't make a difference. In my (limited) experience, sometimes, such external optical disk drives will work if you only plug in one USB connect, but other times, they need both plugged in, and the distance between the two connections is short-so in many cases of these drives, it wouldn't stretch across to plug one connector in each side. There are only 2 USB ports, on opposite sides, which means that one can't always use those low end ($20-$40 USD) USB drives that have two USB connections. It also includes a nice little case and a connector for an external VGA monitor. Like the Macbook Air, which I think it's supposed to challenge, there's no onboard ethernet, but they do supply a usb dongle with ethernet connection-Apple charges $30 USD for theirs. The processor might be a little slower than some of the DH ones, but it's still quite nice. I'm not sure of the difference between this RSL8 and the others, I'm only seeing it at stores that have a brick and mortar location.
Well, I went out and bought the UX31E Zenbook-I chose the RSL8, which was on sale at Office Depot.
