​@@Yoru05The thing is - most Apple fanboys aren't really fanboys at all. Fans typically obsess over the object of their fandom. Apple doesn't succeed cos of those people, it succeeds cos of all the people who just know them as a high end tech company and hence buy their products WITHOUT putting much thought into it. Most of them probably wouldn't even be able to tell you the specs the device they bought, cos they never researched it. They just associate Apple with quality and so default to buying from them. Apple gives them a generically good system that they didn't have to research to find - even though better options exist, it would require more effort from them to find them.

I had an Asus TUF F15 gaming laptop, with Asus' Premium Care with Accident Protection warranty. One day I had a liquid spill on the laptop, so I sent it in for service that would've been covered by the warranty. They quoted me for an entire replacement of the motherboard of course. However, they also wanted to replace the back plate, chassis, keyboard, and battery(???), quoting about $1500 total. When I asked about my warranty, they made up some reason about why it couldn't be used. I ended up just asking for my laptop back, and when I received it, there were scratches and a massive dent in the metal chassis exposing the inside, and one of the screws was torn completely free from it's screw hole and would no longer stay in. I'm never buying Asus again.

I recently purchased an ASUS Prime B650 motherboard for my new setup (primarily due to budget considerations). While it initially handled everything well, including VR, I've encountered persistent errors regarding the USB controller being overloaded within the past month. This occurs when launching VR and has now extended to my headphones. I've confirmed that all drivers are correctly installed and even performed a fresh Windows installation, but still getting the same error. I messed around in the BIOS, disabled, enabled certain settings; to no avail. I did a bit of research, and as it turns out, seems to be a common issue. Ironically, I upgraded because my previous ASUS ROG STRIX X570 motherboard damaged one of my RAM modules. Given these consecutive hardware issues, I would likely have considered a different brand. Kind of crap luck, isn't it?

Asus is the biggest Scam ever, i bought a ROG Strix G15 2070super, and man I've had this piece of garbage for 2 years and I've been struggling with this laptop for 2 years, our country doesn't have good ASUS support so i took this laptop to repair shops more times than i can count, Recoil wine started to show after 1 year, processors getting too hot ( CPU&GPU above 85 celsius degrees ) , the metal thermal paste or whatever was not helping or wasn't applied correctly, the GPU-Fan blew up because of this heat, i changed it (i couldn't use the laptop for 2 months cause that's how long it took for the stock fans to arrive, and now after 2 months of changing it i already feel like the GPU fan is already getting busted like the last time) , aside from keeping away from ASUS, if you are a serious gamer , like you work with a laptop more than 3 h/day on average keep away from laptops in general, even if you assemble a pc , still stay away from Asus as a Brand . as long as they don't think up sth other than air cooled system for laptops , don't even get close to laptops for gaming , it has a short lifespan , it is a pain to maintain and expensive to repair , and you can't change any components (expect for Ram and memory) and it's overall a bad investment , PC all the way is the Master-Race of gaming !!!

As an Asus RoG Strix owner I can personally tell you...the absolute WORST customer service experience I have EVER had in over 40 years of dealing in tech. Almost immediate issues with overheating and energy management. A completely broken CS route which involved non English speakers on North American service lines and after months of frustration a complete abandonment of responsibility resulting in HUNDREDS of additional dollars for repairs which should have been covered by warranty. I was planning on spending $4-5K for a high-end gaming box, using Asus's components. Not anymore. No money will go to this company ever again from my accounts, either business or personal.

I think ASUS really let their reputation get over their heads. It used to be that people, including myself, bought ASUS because of their reputation be being built much better, and more importantly, had a BIOS that wasn't absolutely infuriating to use. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, every time I was asked by family to build a computer, it would be the similar combination of Intel/ASUS/Nvidia simply because I could trust that the computer wouldn't end up having any teething issues the moment I handed it off. It took all the other vendors years before they caught up on their BIOS UI, but they eventually did and that meant that ASUS could only compete on the quality of their engineering if they wanted to command the same premium price. At this point however, even if they aren't willing to stand behind their products, even the quality of their products is garbage, the reality is that the products they produce are not unique; I can very easily move to another vendor. ASUS has no 'moats' around their products, they have no ecosystem that anybody is locked into, they have literally nothing that stops any consumer from jumping to another vendor. So that's exactly what I have done for the last few years, and will continue doing so into the future until further notice: this isn't me boycotting them, if ASUS is going to produce an inferior product for a higher price point than their competitors, why would any sane person even take their products into consideration?

My ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming Wifi II has some of the dumbest fucking errors I've ever seen, all of which are resolvable with just adjusting a few settings in BIOS. But after on-the-spectrum levels of fine-tooth combing over every single BIOS setting, I have discovered that the out of box settings are just mind-bogglingly stupid, either hindering performance or leaving performance on the table, all while introducing the most asinine error codes. Have it up and running now, but oh boy, it gets better. Coil whine. ASUS have more products with coil whine than I've ever fucking seen. My ASUS TUF 4080 sounds like Leatherface grinding down a bunch of robot orphans when I play at 240fps (my monitor is 240hz.) I have to lower down to 120 fps to virtually eradicate the majority of it. Undervolting and even power limiting GPU only changed it from the robot orphan pedicide to the sound of a bunch of rabid electric bees foaming at the mouth and swarming my side panel. During my research I found INSANE amounts of people with similar experiences with ASUS motherboards and GPUs. That includes Intel and AMD on the Mobo side of things, btw. ASUS told me my 4080 was operating within tolerable frequency and since it was not mechanically defective they would not replace it with another and sent me back the same one. Pretty sure whoever handles coil whine complaints in their testing service is deaf. I'd bet my life savings on it. Then there's the 7800X3D debacle... Then there's the BIOS settings destroying Intel 13th/14th gen CPUs... Like it's just baffling to me how they let this happen to their brand. What a bunch of incompetent rats.

some of the worst motherboards Asus sold were made in 2000-2005. Pure rubbish. Frankly most products from that time period suffer from issues, mostly due to capacitor plague, but asus boards, especially mid and mid-high end ones were some of the worst offenders. At one point we had a shelf packed full exclusively with dead Asus P4P800 and A7V880 motherboards. MSI was a close second. We stopped putting their boards in our prebuilt PCs after 2005, opting to go with Biostar for budget PCs and Asrock for high end offerings. Their boards slowly started getting better from 2006 onwards, but they started dropping the ball with video cards in about 2008 or so. 8800GTs with dingy coolers that cocked themselves, 7970's and 280x with no cooling for the bottom ram chip, Vega64 with under specced VRMs, GTX 780's with paper thin PCBs and so on. I'm pretty happy with their laptops tough.

Person 1 buys brand B and person 2 buys brand A. They both get screwed again and the company's make the same.....No they make more money because they've made both consumers buy something twice "so far" that should have lasted much longer the first time and they've also spent less on their sub par manufacturing costs.

Having built computers for 20 years I don't think I've seen a fiasco as big as the AM5 motherboard barbecue BIOS. With that being said, keeping any manufacturer accountable in this industry is a constant battle. Computers are mindblowingly complex devices and things go wrong all the time on the manufacturer side, but if companies like Asus and MSI don't take immediate responsibility and implement measures in a timely manner there will be trust lost with the consumer.

Only USB ports glitching out. My sister in law had an awful experience with a Gigabyte graphics card. Funny enough, ASRock ("cheap Asus") has solid middle class consumer components. But when it comes to graphics cards, EVGA were the only ones which had good ones in my opinion. A shame they don't make them anymore.

It's sad. We used exclusively ASUS and Kingston products back in 1997 to build custom business machines where I worked (main board and memory). Nearly zero failures, and on the RARE occasion there was, either company would overnight exchange anything for the business, and within 4 business days for the average consumer. Diamond was just about as good as well. However, ASUS started going downhill around 2012. Their return policies became longer (granted, they were getting bigger), their rejections for replacements became a little ridiculous. They started hard-lining warranty dates - they originally didn't bat an eye if something died within a couple weeks of expiration. As of 2018 they just went to crap entirely. No customer service to speak of. Returns were almost impossible, even inside of warranty they would argue. New models seemed to have BIOS issues with some edge case, and it would always be a delay in getting an update. Kingston has never changed. Ask and it's resolved. I never have and never will own another ASUS product since 2012. It used to be my go to. It just sucks.

I asked my Dad to buy a replacement battery, but Dell didn't sell any (I checked Dell's website just to make sure), so Dad bought a replacement battery from a third-party. That battery was fake and held no charge at all, so I asked Dad to put the old battery back in, but he'd already sold it for recycling. And now I have to have my laptop plugged in whenever I want to use it. Which is a little annoying. Much better than fires, though.

Right off the bat the hard drive in a laptop I bought from them failed just a couple weeks after the warranty ran out, and the research showed that they knowingly used the least reliable HDD on the market with the highest failure rate even though it was more expensive than some really decent and reliable options, just so their laptops wouldn't survive for too long forcing the users to buy a replacement. A bit later, the WiFi card gave up the ghost as welll. I replaced the hard drive and the wifi card, and the new ones went on functioning for the next 10 years. The next thing I bought from Asus was the Zenfone 8... on which the SoC crapped itself and completely died after less than a year of use. Another person that felt compelled to grab the Zenfone reported the charging circuit dying and taking the touchscreen with it. Asus being utter shit is a story old as the world.

NVIDIA has also joined Asus on my very short "sh1tlist" due to their shady pricing practices during the pandemic and their general lack of carung about their loyal customers that got them to where they are today.

@AnonymousUser-ww6ns LOL no they won't! Too many people/companies are far too hungry for Nvidia's silicon. They have no competition (I am sorry but no, AMD is not competition for them, no matter what others may try to tell you) so they can do (and charge) whatever they like.

Entering College, I bought the Vivobook M570DD with the GTX 1050 inside. I thought I was killing two birds with one stone by having a decent portable gaming rig along with my college needs. In my 3rd and last year there. I started getting issues with apps minimalizing. It got annoying during game play. I upgraded the RAM and the SSD and that helped for about 2 months. Then my framerates fell from 70 - 110 fps depending on the game, to 6 - 25 fps regardless of any setting I adjusted. It's basically crippled for any gameplay usage with vanilla Minecraft and War Thunder looking like a glorified Power Point presentation.

Alright, here's part of the problem too. ASUS has become so big, diversified, and powerful in both the gaming and graphics development spheres, they have basically forgot who got them to that point. As a premier supplier of the legendary Windows Surface Tablets, they have moved so far from consumers, they believe they are too big to fail. Also, like any large hardware developer, ASUS depends on Third Party Vendors for its motherboard and hardware production. Any problem in those departments, reflects on ASUS as a whole. And there have been reports of companies like Foxconn, Huawei, Samsung, and others in China and Korea having severe production and shipping issue in the post pandemic world. I think it was Forbes that was criticizing the lack of quality control among large electronics firms as well. But also? These incessant updates are also destroying machines. It's not just ASUS, it's also Sony, Apple, and others whose destructive updates are potentially designed to ruin machines forcing owners to fork over thousands for repairs or replacements. Or worse? A whole NEW purchase. I long abandoned ASUS in favor (somewhat) of MSI for hardware. Also, I sold my ROG Phone in favor of a Lenovo Legion phone. And I got to say, while it has it's quirks? I am far happier with it than with the ROG. But I can't say my experience with the ROG was bad. ASUS has terrible customer support especially for its phones. And maybe a boycott is what is needed to return ASUS to its roots and remember their loyal customers.

I've had two ASUS laptops, an M16 and a G15, over the last two years. The M16 was amazing except that multiple keys on the keyboard would stop working after about 4 months of ownersihp. It was replaced under warranty with the G15. One month after warranty expired, almost overnight, 7 dead pixels emerged on the screen. Yeah, ASUS has fallen from its heights and I won't be buying again.

Overclocking is not commonplace; if anything I'd say is has decreased in practice. It is similar to flashing ROMs on smartphones. It is much less common today than in the past. It is the same as how a lot of people still run games on their HDDs (ai have seen it first hand). You also cannot simply pick your CPU and overclock it, you need a CPU that allows it, same for the motherboard and you need to take into account the spare watts you having in the Power supply (and as you've mentioned, cooling).

I've never had to really deal with Asus customer support but I've had two ROG laptops and one Alienware. Both ROGs have lasted the test of time and continue to function perfectly. Even the one that is so old the battery bulged and died, runs perfectly fine if it is plugged in. The Alienware, on the other hand, died the moment warranty was over and was non-recoverable.

Bought an Asus ROG gaming laptop in 2018, and now its a brick that doesn't turn on. Compared with my bulky MSI that went through liquid damage, drops, and general carelessness yet it's still working after 8 years. Also bough their b460 mobo and had to return it because the RAM slots were incorrectly installed, causing memory errors with 4 sticks in. Its a real shame because I used to respect this brand but MSI all the way from now on, never once had an issue with their products

I owned the Strix GL553VE since 2017 and all I experienced was a creak with the hinge, a slight detachment with my trackpad, and a loose Ctrl key. Funny enough, these happened like 2022 and 2023. My laptop became slow with time, but that's natural since it was a 1050 ti.
