| 484310 | 2006-09-16 01:52:00 | Number one ASUS is a tried and proven brand and well up there with all the componants they make, hardly a "cheap" option, And Botts, try Able Business Machines, we send all our repairs to them. |

| 484311 | 2006-09-16 11:17:00 | For desktops yes. However they are new into laptops. I looked at an asus a couple of years ago and it looked to be very badly/cheaply built and a very flimsy screen. | rogerp (6864) | ||
| 484312 | 2006-09-16 15:52:00 | They are incorrect - there are many reports of screens developing cracks (usually from the edge as the case breaks). Some iPods were developing cracks .. and it wasn't abuse. Quote the consumer law to them...... actually, noob: WOULD THOSE IPODS HAVE CRACKED IF THEY WERE LEFT IN THERE CASES, ON THE SHELF? the answer is, NO. it WAS physical abuse, people have different definitions of 'abuse'... for example: 'this aint abuse, this is physical endurance competition against my womens face with this 2x4'' ''that wasnt abuse, i only dropped it down 25 flights of stairs'' ''all i did was shoot him, honestly, whats the problem?'' :) |

| 484313 | 2006-09-17 02:09:00 | Sorry about the earlier post, I mean the side is opening by itself over the years. And hardly used it at all. :confused: Maybe on the safer side I won't go to any Taiwan products for notebooks except maybe Lenovo. :2cents: Could have save more for a good one rather than a crappy one. | PedalSlammer (8511) | ||

Rubbish. Asus have been producing laptops for years, not only for themselves but for numerous other brands...Including Apple. And there are only a few laptop factories worldwide, And Asus own about half of em. |

Asking if they would crack if left in storage is a craptastic question. If I purchased a set of tires for my car that fell apart after 100km would the seller then be in the right to point out that if I hadn't driven on the tires they would still be like new? Sure, if he wanted a fat lip. |

Seems you caps lock key is broken, but how would you know until you tried it out...Maybe by using it, you have abused it. Here is the iPod issue (www.macworld.com) I was thinking of.. On the Apple ads they seem to be always flailing those iPods around. |

| 484318 | 2006-09-17 05:53:00 | 3 giant PC makers in the world? Perhaps because Asus don't make PC's? And for that matter Dell and HP just assemble low cost parts..... anyhow, As of January 2006, ASUS has manufacturing facilities in Taiwan (Taipei, Luchu, Nankan, Kweishan) and in mainland China (Suzhou), with a monthly production capacity of two million motherboards and 150,000 notebook computers In 2005, shipments from ASUS, ECS, Gigabyte, and MSI totaled 104.86 million units. ASUS led with about 52 million units, followed by ECS with 20 million, MSI with 18 million and Gigabyte with 16.5 million. MSI revised its motherboard shipments from an estimate of 16.7 million units to 18 million, according to the company. ASUS also produces components for other corporations, including Sony (PlayStation 2), Apple Computer (iPod, iPod Shuffle, MacBook), Alienware, Falcon Northwest, HP and Compaq. In 2004, ASUS was reported to sell more motherboards than three other leading companies combined, [3] reaching 30 million. This number, however, includes rebranding contracts |

Next year ASUS may suffer a bit since demanding PC in the world has reduced until 2009. I personally use ASUS parts for my desktops and no problem at all, but don't really know about laptops anyway. Are they nice? or Lenovo and HP is better? |
