I have always had issues with ASUS. Their parts have never really worked well for me, and if they did they only lasted a year or two before shitting out. Everyone else seemed to swear by them and I could never even get a part that worked.
How was your experience with other gear? Was it always a similar problem between different components?
Nope, its only been ASUS. I have a mix of corsair and MSI right now. The problems ranged from DOA (couple mobos over the years), dim displays, and even had a router that had burnt up its power module.
I 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.
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.
That's my experience with Asus going back over 25 years now. To me, Asus has always been substandard products sold at premium prices. If I wanted a substandard motherboard, I'd buy ECS and save a bunch of money. And to be fair to ECS, I've had some of their boards that have worked just fine, which is more than I can say about the Asus stuff.
