I have bought 2 ASUS computer (eee 1005 and g750jw) and have had to RMA each one twice.
Even then, both products work poorly (flickering screens/heat/sound/crashing etc).
RMA was a nightmare 700+ minutes logged on the phone and email. 6 total days missed work because of shipping mix-ups.
I also owned a Sager. That was beast. Never a single problem, overclocked well, and lasted till the day my little sister tore the screen clean off. Ha. I bet it still works if I hooked up a monitor to its DVI port.
My family has owned Dell/HP and they are ok but Acer cannot be beat for the price. $450 buys an ULtrabook that can Run Metro: Last Light on Medium-Low setting smoothly. I am so impressed by my brother's Acer.
Bottom Line (TL;DR). Never buy ASUS. Terrible Products & Support.
Wow. So with my store credit to bestbuy, what should I get? All the research I have done has led me to the two ROGs at bestbuy... and if those are bad, then theres nothing I can get lol. Any help?
I wouldn't be afraid of getting a G750JW from Best Buy, the one thing no one has mentioned is Best Buy has the best Return & Exchange Policy, any store in the US as long as you have a receipt and the original packaging.
If you find something wrong then take it back - sooner or later they will get it right. Enjoy it, the G750's are great.
