ASUS is on my no buy list after being caught twice scamming on rmas by Gamer’s Nexus.
Pass.
And way more reasons to rma
Why?
It’s a joke because if the RMA disaster that GamersNexus had when they sent in their ROG Ally for warranty repairs.
TLDR: They sent in the device to fix a common joystick problem and ASUS wanted them to replace the whole top case and the screen for a shitload of money due to “cosmetic damage” (which was a tiny scrstch on the side of the device. They didnt even mention the broken joystick and built pressure through short deadlines and threats of sending back the device unassembled if they don’t act now.
In the end, ASUS claimed it was all just a communications error and that GamersNexus simply misunderstood them and they could have just declined that repair to get ASUS to proceed with their warranty repair.
Here’s the video for anyone interested. It’s well worth a watch, and there are a couple of follow-ups as well.
The battery life is interesting. Everything else, yawn
Wake me up when there’s a new, more efficient APU and they stop marketing better displays, more memory and USB while not even having trackpads.
I would rather have a few extra portable powerbanks to offload some weight.
this would be a really coolmk device if it wouldnt default to windows
Is it still going to be windows? Most of the battery would probably be used by the bloat present on it.
