Please show me this data from any other manufacturer... take Apple, do they put out how many drops they test their latest iPhone, the one that they advertise doesn't need a cover? The standard deviation, Bell curve?

Nobody cares about this - what people care about is: What happens when this breaks ? If Asus offers good warranty on it, why does it matter when it breaks??



> the one that they advertise doesn't need a cover

Uhh, they don't do that. They sell cases - their own and 3rd party - right in the store next to the iPhones.


If it breaks every month and takes them two months to repair it each time then it's a problem.


But there is no indication that it breaks every month, and there is a strong indication that it breaks less ten once every 6 years. Also there is literally no indication that it takes 2 months to repair.

What I am seeing from you is just negative comments about this technology, literally based on assumption and made-up standards that are not common in the industry.


Have you dealt with an Asus RMA before? I have. I was being kind with the 2 months...


Ah, just say that you have a personal issue with Asus, not that a product idea is shit and should not be done.


The product would be shit if apple did it too.

I have a professional issue with Asus support having dealt with them from a large corp.

I can isolate the two factors but understand the risks are combined.

That’s just logic.


LOL "the product would be shit"

It didn't even hit the shelves.... your bitterness reminds me of the original iPod quip "No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame"

You're pulling "facts" and "standards" out of thin air to justify your dislike of Asus.
