What is the most well built Asus notebook currently on the market?
I'm thinking maybe its the G2 series but not sure.
-
-
Asus' U, V, & W series are intended to have their highest build quality. Whether they actually do or not is something I don't know, as my only experience has been with my Z71V.
-
I'm talking about reliability, stability and least amount of physical problems. Not performance.
-
Perhaps Geared2play.com can answer about reliability? -
-
asus w2 series is the most well built.
-
Got'a be the F8Sn's.
They've been out at least six weeks without any problems !
Just kidding. Just kidding. -
It is arguable which ASUS is the most well-built... The V/W/U series (in no particular order) are supposed to be the quality lines. Does the OP have any particular model in mind? Maybe we can give some insight then (like what are the drawbacks and the advantages of the particular model).
-
I personally think its the Lambo VX series...they cost a fortune though...
-
I also think it's the V/W/U with the exception of the Lambo series and the odd S series. Of course not all versions of the V/W/U were all good, ie; the V1S.

-
As far as most well built physically, like others have mentioned, v/w/u series -
w3j FTW!!!
-
Yeah, W3J is old-school.
OP, sorry, I forgot the G2 mention by the time I got to writing my reply
From what I've read (never owned one, only seen briefly in a store) it seems the G models are quite solidly built. They must be with all that bulkI would rate them in-between the budget series A, F and the "business" series V, W, U, with some of the V/W/U possibly flimsier and worse built than the G-s. (e.g., some quality issues in the V1 series, the U screens look pretty flimsy to me -- they must be to some extent, given they are so small...)
Do you plan to move it around a lot? Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about the build quality.
As to reliability (of the internal hardware), I've seen the new G1 models gets quite hot. That might take its toll on the lifetime of the components. I don't know about the G2.
Besides that, there should be some reviews around from which you could make an idea. -

g2 series has prooven very reliable with no known inherent hardware issues thus far.
-
Thanks, Eddie. That's a fantastic resource!
-
My only experience is with the Z84JP. Never had any quality problems in the 14 months i have used this notebook
-
Thanks guys! Yes I've seen a lot about the G1 and it getting hot but I think it doesn't seem to be affecting the G2, especially because its larger... and I Would imagine the newer g2sg-a1 is even better with the penryn which generates less heat I believe.
-
how come no one is mentioning the new M series? is it not good build?
