Yeah even in this video the guy was saying they used to be great, but after having like 3 motherboards fail prematurely and dealing with their crappy RMA process, I learned long ago that their reputation isn’t deserved. I did buy a couple of their routers which seems fine for now but I won’t be giving them more money in the future after watching this
Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY!

I love how the latest generation of gamers are finally finding out that Asus has always been, and always will be, a dogshit company.

Back in university at the turn of the millennia I was a front-line desktop support guy and the amount of Acer and Asus laptops that came in just completely falling apart was insane.

I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think "acer's crap, right?" when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.

Sounds like a nightmare. I don’t have a lot of firsthand experience with Acer but I did peg them as low quality too somehow

Fucking Asus transformer pad.
Please send it back for free and we’ll check if the damage is under warranty. If not you’ll need to pay 50$>to get your device back.
FUCK. OFF. Ship it back for free if it isn’t under warranty. Or have a contract with a shop nearby that can determine if it’s under warranty.
Last time I bought anything Asus.

Actually that’s a lie. I have their routers in house which, for now, all seem to run pretty decently
