Check to see if the notebook comes with the hard drive shock resistant software.

I'm not to sure exactly what its called but what it does is if it detects shock, it freezes the hard drive to protect any problems writing data to it. Once it doesnt detect any movement the hard drive works again.

Typically I use my laptop on a table, but when I went on vacation and was trying to watch a movie while on a flight, the computer kept freezing everything we hit a little turbulance. I found out that the notebook came with a software that freezes the hard drive when it detects movement. It will probably be embeded with the Asus preinstalled software.

Plus a lot of newer notebooks have this feature.
