Nah, I don't really hate Asus. They should have installed A8-7600. Period. Asus makes shopping difficult for everyone.

The person buying this won't care. Who buys prebuilts? Most here would build a better box within an hour. DVD burners are irrelevant, I can't remember the last time I burnt anything. And if this is running 10 there are probably custom drivers to support all the bits on some support page somewhere. A lot of moaning for nothing.
I've never gotten ASUS to honor their warranty over 4 RMAs. 2 mobos, 2 laptops. Never buying ASUS for anything again.
That'a terrible. Any details? I never had to RMA anything from ASUS but if they are worse in that department then other companies I would definitely like to know. Not honoring a legitimate RMA request is a big deal!
first one was a defect in the screen joining to the chassis. My brother ended up instead ordering a replacement on ebay and doing it himself. Second was the power plug female side on the laptop body wore out and it wouldn't charge. They sent me back the same laptop with a charged battery in it and said "It's fixed." I go to plug it in, still doesn't charge. Tried replacement chargers before you ask, and I could verify it was the plug on the laptop body. Funny thing too is I wrote down that I suspected it was the female power plug on the laptop body on a piece of paper and folded it and put it inside of the closed laptop. So they really had to not care at all to get to the result they got to.
Both the mobos were one of those things where it just stopped working one day, wouldn't turn on. One of them had a faulty CPU in it too, which I've never seen before or since, so that one may have been a legit denial but they provided no detail on why it was denied except that it was. So I can't tell you what happened. Other motherboard they told me there was a short on the board and it was user error, despite it just not turning on one day.
Even if no one will do better in terms of actually fixing/replacing stuff, every one of those RMAs took 4 to 6 weeks or longer. I was not notified when they sent stuff back so one of my laptops sat in customs for 2 months with no responses to my questions about it.
All in all it left a very bad taste in my mouth and I will take my business elsewhere, and I have since

. . . really? Cmon now. You know better than that.
I'm honestly surprised anyone even has many Trinity chips left for anything. They should have been written off or otherwise purged from the channel by now. The only reason why a Trinity would look decent today is that it outperforms a J2900 or what have you.
Of course they should have, though they would probably charge more for the unit as well. I doubt any OEM would sell an A8-7600 box for $299. Or at least, I haven't seen one . . .
Okay, I'm gonna sound sort of elitist here or something, but who really needs a DVD drive anymore? People with lots of old stuff on DVD lying around maybe?
Wasn't the first defect present since day one? If so, shouldn't the laptop have been returned?
About that power plug, I thought something like that was considered mechanical worn-out and as such not under warranty. Even so, they should have designed it to be more durable and it should definitely last at least a few thousand in and out cycles. But I see why you are not really fond of that company.

Don't know if this is relevant in any way but I just received my 860k, FM2+ mobo, and OEM 270 gpu from newegg today and it performs about exactly the same as my old unlocked OCed B55 X4 and 5770 (upgraded to oem 6970) setup which is crapping out now. I paid about the same amount (250-300)for the old rig about six years ago. Three years ago with the new videocard so yeah, point being amd has not advanced at all in the past few years. The 40nm to 28 nm transition for amd has been really a standstill performance-wise. Hopefully the new finfet chips from amd will be a lot more competitive with the i5s and i7s. Anyway upping my post count so I can enter FSFT.
I don't get this thread and what the op is upset about. SHOP AROUND! no one is forcing you to buy that particular Asus laptop

He's upset because he is an entitled ass who can't get what he wants for cheap.
It's no different from the folks that can buy <$100 Android phones but persistently singling out Apple for overpricing their stuff as a crime against humanity to disguise the fact they want an iPhone without paying the price.

Wow, that's really low-end. Those can barely run modern software. (Can't quite handle Skype anymore.)
I picked up a pair of Lenovo Beema quad-core laptops on ebay last, oh, maybe Nov., for $200 ea. One's still in the box, but the other one, it's a reasonably decent performer. Seems slightly faster than my N2830 Atom Dell laptop. Both with Win7 64-bit and SSDs.
Its always like that on the 3rd world, AMD is still dumping its A4-4000 stocks here, and i have no idea of where they get it, and now im having nightmares about AM1 still having at least 3 more years.
Last year we had a similar thing with Intel and Asrock dumping H61 and I5-3570 stocks for a few months... but hey, that i can accept, the bad thing it lasted very little, now we have a the same problem with BT devices, Brix, notebooks with N28xx, etc, but im hopefull it will not last much longer.
Went through 4 defective Asus laptops in my lifetime so far. All PCs were purchased brand new and unopened:
1. Asus 14" laptop w/ Celeron B830 I picked up on Black Friday 2012 from Sears had a broken-off "F" keyboard button after 2 months due to cheap plastic quality. Called Asus warranty, but told me keyboard isn't under warranty since it's wear and tear (yeah right). Sold it for a loss on eBay.
2. Asus 15" laptop w/ E1-1200 in 2013 had a defective screen that I can't lower its brightness level. Sold it at okay price on eBay and didn't disclose to buyer you can't lower brightness.
3. Asus 15" laptop w/ Celeron 1007u I still have today came with a defective recovery partition from factory that I can't reset the PC nor create a USB recovery. I had to go back to store and steal the OS and product key from the display unit, and reinstall the OS back home. Plus a phone call to activate product key. Thanks, Asus.
I also picked up my forth Asus 15" N3050 Braswell from Best Buy Black Friday 2015, but the mousepad isn't leveled or installed flat correctly from factory. Hate its sharp-edge sticking out at lower-left while lower-right is swallowed in. Will sell it on eBay shortly.
4. I'm NOT finished yet. I also sold an Asus Pentium G3220 desktop in 2014 with a defective memory RAM slot #1. I had to open up the case and insert its RAM at slot #2 instead, and then it works fine. I did not disclose to my buyer that slot #1 is defective and sold it as a one 8GB stick only.
I didn't do anything illegal here. Asus screwed me up on quality control, and I officially confirmed that after hearing they decide to stay with A8-5500 again for 2017. That's my Asus reliability story so far.

hmm...
I don't get it. Didn't your 1007U laptop come with a Win7 key sticker? Or if Win8/8.1, embedded in the BIOS? If you wanted to re-install, all you need is install media.
Seems unnecessary to commit license key theft.
Anyway, it's pretty clear from this post what kind of person you are.

Remember, Asus screwed me up here. I didn't want to do this and it wasn't my intention. This is a Windows 8 laptop (not 8.1) with a missing or defective recovery partition from factory I can't reset. Instead of returning it and start over, I rather make recovery USB from display unit and bring home to reinstall as the fastest approach.

I do agree with you that Asus really sucks, though.

I've just discovered that all of my troubles with Intel's iGPU drivers on my i3-6100, are likely down to my Asus mobo's video-output implementation, rather than inherent defects in Intel's drivers.

So you sold a defective product and didnt disclose it, but you are calling asus robbers because they sell a computer with old, although clearly disclosed, components??? See any contradiction there?

What counts is what we do, not our "intention".
Nobody forced you, right? If you did it, you wanted to.
You're honest enough to admit what you did... Don't miss the opportunity to go even further. Just my two cents.

Wow. OP is a comic book villain. Self-pwnage of the year.
I would honestly be worried about one of those people you screwed showing up at your house, armed. Good luck.

Wow waltchan. Other than the fact that stealing a license key is illegal and that a seller does have a duty to disclose known defects, pawning those problems off on other people because you don't want to deal with RMAs or aren't happy with the outcomes is just low. I'm sure I'll get an infraction for this, but you're a morally bankrupt POS.
