  Fucking Asus transformer pad.

  Please send it back for free and we’ll check if the damage is under warranty. If not you’ll need to pay 50$>to get your device back.

  FUCK. OFF. Ship it back for free if it isn’t under warranty. Or have a contract with a shop nearby that can determine if it’s under warranty.

  Last time I bought anything Asus.

    Actually that’s a lie. I have their routers in house which, for now, all seem to run pretty decently

        Maybe I’ve got a broken set. The ones that were assembled properly

  Yeah even in this video the guy was saying they used to be great, but after having like 3 motherboards fail prematurely and dealing with their crappy RMA process, I learned long ago that their reputation isn’t deserved. I did buy a couple of their routers which seems fine for now but I won’t be giving them more money in the future after watching this

    Back in university at the turn of the millennia I was a front-line desktop support guy and the amount of Acer and Asus laptops that came in just completely falling apart was insane.

      I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think "acer's crap, right?" when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.

        I don’t have experience with their systems, but I had to go back to the store twice for an Acer monitor. First monitor had a dead HDMI port, second had a gap in the chassis at the top. Don’t know why I didn’t just go with a different one after the second replacement; it would end up developing a line of shadowing after about 18 months.

        Acers would start with a QWERTY and after a few months would be down to Q–R-T

      Sounds like a nightmare. I don’t have a lot of firsthand experience with Acer but I did peg them as low quality too somehow
