The design may or may not, but it is well thought out: vertical development with a large base of support, many signaling statuses of the various functions, three high-performance pivotable antennas placed on the top of the device, and no note to underestimate, a large grid surface in the back for excellent heat dissipation.

The signal coverage is great, and the software provided by ASUS offers options also suited to the most shabby.
