I would highly recommend sharing this with anyone that you know that has had warranty/support issues with Asus any company in general✊

Hope this helps!

    Warranty is not the only problem. I ordered a Vivobook for a client. Upon arrival, I opened it up to see if there was space for a rusty disk. No space. Opening that thing was scary. I had the impression that it was going to break any minute. The thing is so flimsy it’s scary. I feels like it’s made out of a plastic pizza container and aluminum foil.

    Thankfully we are in Europe, warranties here have teeth, and are 2 years minimum by law.

      That’s not an ASUS specific thing at all. What modern laptops actually have 2.5" drives anymore? Very few actually.

      Yes this is actually more disturbing.

      Which Vivobook? It’s a wildly varied brand that ranges from factory made e-waste to decent.
