I purchased a GL502VM less than 7 months ago, the performance of the laptop was great, I could run all the tools that i needed to develop software applications for my customers and game on it if necessary. However I started to notice that my screen had the keys embedded/scratched onto the screen (you could see the square key on the screen). Called support and they told me this was clearly an engineering design flaw and was covered under warranty.
On June 3 I sent my computer to a repair center in Texas via UPS costing me $87 two day shipping because I needed it back quickly for my business.
I get notified that on June 7 they received it and on June 9 they ordered the replacement screen.
Since then I have not received any new notifications to the RMA website until I called support. They told me that on June 13 the replacement screen arrived and its still under the repair status.
After calling technical support they keep telling me that the case has been escalated and to wait 24 to 48 hours (i've done this 4 time already).
My question is why does it take so long for Asus to do a simple screen replacement. I've done multiple screen replacements for laptops when I worked as a computer repair tech, and I can tell you this is by far a 2 to 3 hour job not weeks!
At this point I'm getting ready to consider this laptop as a loss as it's costing my business significant amount of money as well. I probably will not be buying any Asus products any more knowing how long it takes to do simple repairs.
UPDATE!
Just called support again at June 29 1:35pm PST and the customer support agent told me that they are REPLACING MY MOTHERBOARD (HOLY S**T). This is going way too far, this is for scratches on the the display no issues with the motherboard!
