ASUS Laptop - Okay or Crap ?

i'm looking for a laptop for very simple purposes so no need for fancy stuff and was recommended ASUS and the price is not expensive.......

how is the reputation of ASUS laptops ??

i'm more concerned with reliability and durability.............

and where is a good place to buy ?

the dreaded Sim Lim Square again ? or Funan Centre or AudioHouse ???

or wait for I.T. Show and fight the crowd ?

THANKS A LOT 1ST HOR...............

Since you are so anti-Israel, I'll advise you can't avoid Israeli components in your laptop.

what u mean ?

ASUS is Taiwanese mah...........all electronic components made in Asia mah.........

I dont know the best place to buy, but Asus scores in the top percentile of any of the reliability reports I've seen.

i saw the reviews on Asus too but got local people say overheating is a common problem for Asus leh...............

well thats very generic question you ask, you want to look at specific models as every brand has their good and bad models.

Since you are so anti-Israel, I'll advise you can't avoid Israeli components in your laptop.

Assembly and board manufacture in Taiwan or China. But no one can avoid chips on the board that come from Israel.

Unless you stupidly think ASUS makes every part of the laptop themselves.
