I think you either misunderstood the ASUS rep, the ASUS rep
misunderstood you, or the ASUS rep doesn't know what he's talking
about. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the ASUS rep was just saying
things to try to end the support call. I had to deal with them recently
to try and figure out why a serial port bracket I bought for my
motherboard wasn't working.
Me: My serial port isn't working. What's the pinout on the motherboard
so I know if it's a motherboard problem or a problem with my bracket?
Them: I don't know. You should try updating your BIOS or buy another
bracket.
Me: Which kind of bracket? The manual doesn't have the pinout, so how
can I know if I'm buying the right bracket?
Them: Sorry, we don't have the pinout information.
Me: Nevermind, I just rewired my own bracket to the next most common
alternative pinout and it's working now.
So yeah, ASUS reps don't seem to actually know a lot about the products
they're supporting.

how I could check for sure whether FreeDOS is in Asus actual laptops

All of you, when you use FreeDOS, how do you "see" it is FreeDOS and
not another DOS that is running, how do you see the version number ?
I begin to wonder if it really is in those laptops or the Asus
representative who put the blame on it just knew about old
motherboards (the same way they sent us an EeePC procedure to update
the BIOS).
