The only non-Apple laptop that has lasted me for years was an asus from 2013. Probably cost me $1900. Luck of the draw for me, I guess. I always thought highly of the company because my HP and Dell laptops fell apart so fast (even the ones that cost close to $1900). I know Lenovo always had issues with back doors. I guess there aren’t a lot of options these days.

EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 4 months agoI had a $1,300 gaming laptop from Asus from way back in 2013. The hinge for the screen was designed in such a way that it applied pressure against the very thing plastic screen bezel when opening the laptop, so in a very short amount of time the bezel just snapped in front of each hinge. Absolutely brain dead design.

I had the exact same issue with an Asus laptop from a few years before yours.
It was fucking bullshit.
