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!

Damn, Asus used to be THE one to buy, like unquestionably.

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.
