What is the best Asus you can get out there atm?

Hi, I have a few questions about ASUS.

1.) What makes ASUS so different than any other computer manufacturer?
2.) Why should I choose this over any other computers?
3.) How old is this company, and when did it start?
4.) What is their best of the best, top of line computer?
5.) How great is their warranty/tech service?

Thanks again if you post for my questions

 

Hmmm, well, I'll see what I can say without sounding too biased

1. Nothing really, but they manufacture their own notebooks so they control the quality, quantity and overall can be as anal as they want, cause it's their notebook. But why would they want to have a great name? Because they, not only make their own notebooks, but manufacture other brands, such as Dell, HP, Sony, Apple, etc. And not just notebooks, they make amazing motherboards and video cards, as well as manufacture parts for other companies, like the Intel wireless cards, yeap ASUS makes them, the PS3, yeap, ASUS makes them.

2. Your choice really, ASUS offers various different options to various different consumers. There are low end notebooks that are inexpensive but packed with power, like the ASUS A8 and F3 series. They have their business line in the V1/V2 series with docking station and are constructed out of magnesium alloy and crabon fibre composite for a thin and light chssis, gaming line in the G1/G2 with awesome screens and a powerful GPU, ultraportables in their U1 and S6 lines(leather trim, brushed aluminum, LED screens, ultra thin and light, media centers in their W1/W2 made from brushed aluminum, dual lamp screens, HD DVD drive, etc. They also offer barebones that are fully customizable as well. They offer a standard 2 year worldwide warranty, so you don't have to worry when you travel, as well as a 30 day Zero Bad Pixel policy where you can exchange your notebook if you find a bad pixel within the first 30 days.

3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS though its wikipedia

4. I'd say their W2, U1f, G1s are their best atm, the V6 and W3 were amazing but end of line.

5. There hasn't been much negative comments about ASUS, though there are some, but most of which have been resolved. The V6 battery issue is still one ongoing situation.

 

Ah, ok, do you know how thick their popular G series is?

 

Nothing. Their laptops are better than comparable laptops and competition because of the average of the combination of everything that comes with their laptops. No single feature of Asus excels as the "best" in that market (with the exception as noted below) but on average, the overall package is better.

For example, Asus isn't as well known as Dell as a name, but produces slightly better laptops.
Asus V series isn't as sturdy as a Thinkpad, but it very close, but offers more performance.
Asus warranty isn't necessarily as good as the full-business gold option of Dell's business center, but 2 years come free instead of the standard 1 everywhere else.


They do excel in putting out high-performance machines with strong GPUs before other OEMs. The G1S is the earliest DX10/SR gaming machine for 15.4" and is the best - no other manufacturer has come up with something quite as fast so early.

Pre-SR, they were the 1st and only to fit the Go7700 into 14" and 15.4" laptops. Same with the ATI x1700.

They're the first to introduce a 15.4" desktop replacement (desktop core) gaming machine.

Depends on what "this" is referring to. As mentioned above, other than in GPU, Asus machines tend to have a better overall package than the competition.

The VX2s Lamborghini (refresh of the VX2).

 

That would depend on what kind of a notebook you are looking at. For 15", the VX2 Santa Rosa, certainly.
For an ultraportable, the U1.
For a UMPC, the R2H.
They have a very large product line up(largest notebook offerings, afaik). Choose what suits you best.

 

Would you know where to buy an Asus?

That policy is actually a Zero Bright Dot warranty: the replacement is for a screen with any dot that shows up on a background that is supposed to be all black; the same does not hold for a dot that shows up on a a background that is supposed to be all white, for which the standard ASUS pixel warranty, a little less accommodating than the ZBD one, applies.

For ASUS's explanation of the two pixel warranties, click on my name to the left, choose Find More Posts by rahasyavadi, and see my most recent post in the thread G1S Dead Pixel.

 

This lists all resellers with a good record, who also happen to post here regularly.

Well, two friends had a 'dead' pixel on their W3j and F3j, and got them replaced without questions, so I'm assuming ASUS isn't that anal about it. Of course, your mileage may vary!

 

Cool!

For those who do not know:

A dead pixel (actually often just a sub-pixel--one red sub-pixel, one green sub-pixel, and one blue sub-pixel side-by-side comprise one full pixel) = a dark dot. It shows up as a dark dot on what is supposed to be a white background; it stays unlit, or off.

A stuck pixel (actually often just a sub-pixel) = a bright dot. It shows up as a bright dot on what is supposed to be a black background; it stays lit, or on.
