    I said on that other site and was downvoted into oblivion for reminding everyone that

    asus makes shit hardware, always has and always will

    the astroturfing is incredible.

      I loved my Asus graphics card… Until it died.

      I also loved my Asus Android tablet… Until a hardware problem that made it slower over time even after reformatting it make it unusable. (Technically Nvidia’s fault).

      In theory their stuff is really great, but yeah I have definitely been burned by Asus in the past.

        What theory though? You say “In theory,” as if Asus ever made good shit. They never have… IDGI. You had two pieces of expensive hardware die and you still support them?

        They are shit. Always have been. Always will be.

      Totally agree. I’ve had an Asus motherboard and an Asus router. The mobo turned up completely dead and the router was completely ruined. Wouldn’t boot, kept flashing.

      Never buying Asus hardware ever again.

      It’s inane to say “always has.” You can easily make the point that they’ve become pretty damn shitty, though.

        I cut my teeth in the IT industry repairing Acer and Asus laptops in college. This was 20 years ago. When did Asus ever, EVER, make good hardware?
