I have been Blessed to have a wonderful Asus laptop, which is a hardcore work laptop. Been using it for around 6yrs now and only had to replace the battery and charger. There was no other issues at all. I love the design and the speakers ( beats any other laptops in office that are younger than this laptop) . I am looking for a replacement, most likely will settle for another Asus. I have been using a Fujitsu laptop parallel and also had a Latitude ( Dell) , the latter had issues with its motherboard and display, which the excellent warranty covered. Would recommend Asus anytime.
