bought an Asus laptop for wife for kitchen use. bought it on price alone. added some ram. still running fine after 2 years of hard use. it is not transported, which is the real laptop killer. sits on a countertop covered in flour, olive oil, etc.
when she was employed, she drug a laptop with her everywhere. EDS set up a special shelf to rebuild her machine. I know none of them ever lasted 2 months without a trip to the shop. I wonder who bought those units she beat to death when EDS pulled them.
