Good news!
so then I’ll be finally able to buy a Ryzen NUC PN53? :D
its from Asus, its 50/50 whether you’re buying a product or a house fire.
well, I did buy a couple Asus products back in the days - all were in the “okayish” department (broad strokes okay, but some horrible descisions in the details)
that’s better than what you get from most cheap hardware vendors
you shouldn’t compare their consumer notebooks to the more expensive lines of business vendors (although those are now crap too)
And it’s not “Samsung bad” by far.
A company that has a long history of products literally catching fire/melting is not a company any reasonable person would call okayish.
Hell, just in recent history their motherboards were vaporizing copper off of AMD CPUs, and their ROG Ally is literally cooking SD cards into non-functionality.
Lets not forget that they tried to escape liability for their CPU Cooking by releasing a beta bios that cancelled your warranty if you installed it.
ASUS is a cheap, 8th tier, chinese trash tier equivalent company… and I genuinely have no idea short of mass hypnosis/drugging how they got a reputation as a quality, reputable brand.
A company that has a long history of products literally catching fire/melting is not a company any reasonable person would call okayish.
do they though?
I mean all big companies have such cases - a bit more if they are cheap (and yes, asus mostly does cheap) - but mostly it’s “more products sold equals more fire”.
Just look at the tons of samsung fires! They even got some of their smartphones completely banned on flights. (btw: I’m not a fan of either)
Happy to see this. The mini PC market needs more competition
Intel is pulling out and ASUS continues, how is that more competition?
