Eh, I'll very thoroughly look up customer reviews outside amazon before buying anything from Asus. I have a GL702 laptop that heats up like a fucking stove, has the flimsiest cooling system and, to top it off, causes intense screen tearing when running hot. I keep expecting the screen to die from excessive heat exposure any time I'm playing.
Asus used to be good. These days I'm not so sure.
I recently bought an Asus router that just stops working for no good reason. Looked up the issue and apparently they've known about it for a while but have not fixed it.
The default software is kind of shitty and buggy. I flashed my Asus with Tomato. See if your router is supported by FreshTomato for example, it can really make a huge difference in stability and features.
