    Integration here started config to order on Asus machines, after they recived approval form Asus, so below are some of the new Asus machines where you can upgrade CPU's as well as, memory, hard drive and OS's. We stopped for awhile because there was a gray area with warranty issues but now that approval has been made, again P1 is starting on these machines:

    Asus U6 Series:

    Asus M Series:

    And more coming...

    Your right but companies, like BTO, 1toppc etc use that forum daily, so do not want to compete with them.


    thanks

    Well, competition is always a good thing (for the consumer at least :) Nevertheless, Asus has strong rules on reseller's pricing on their products and they don't want resellers to start a price war). I'd suggest contacting a mod to have your company name posted on the Dealers section of the Asus Info Booth sticky.
    However, gentechpc and BTOtech do provide exceptional service, tech help, and reviews on new Asus notebooks, so they do have a stronger edge than P1. You'll probably have to find a new angle to promote Asus notebooks. e.g. gentech has great benchmarks and gaming reviews while BTOtech has superb video reviews. P1 would also have to prove their quality customer service before people on NBR would start recommending to purchase Asus notebooks from you guys :) Just my 2 cents.

    Consumers usually frown on dealer reviews. i.e. products they are pushing to sell....which we decided to stay away from and we are pretty much the pioneers of Asus CTO's along with Chembook etc...but now that integration is back to doing such it just makes for better products...anyone know what happened to Justin @ Proportable; he pretty much started the Asus forum here at NBR???

    I think as long as resellers don't have a sign saying "BUY ASUS PRODUCTS FROM US!" then they should be fine. Most people here on NBR really appreciate the reviews that ken and eddie made since Asus doesn't have a physical store where consumers can get hands-on experience with their notebooks. For example, I can't stand the reviews made by ewiz since all their pictures have a huge banner with their company name/logo, despite how good their reviews may be. Not sure about justin from proportable. I do see him on NBR once in a while on the sager/clevo forum, but almost never on the Asus forum.
