I just contacted support and had a radically different one. My ASUS motherboard has some SATA ports that are dying, and I wrote in for warranty support. The official reply included this choice quote: <br /><br />"Please do not use Linux on our motherboard.<br />The motherboard doesn't support it formally."<br /><br />I did a Google search for ASUS Linux support and this site was the top result. I thought I would share my experience even though this is an older post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-31087362316230217482011-11-04T10:07:57.890-05:002011-11-04T10:07:57.890-05:00Just revamped our accounting department with new A...Just revamped our accounting department with new Asus computers and I have to agree with you on their CS.

I'd never heard of them until I bought a laptop built off of an Asus barebones back in '05. Since then I've bought a laptop and a netbook, built a desktop on one of their boards, and convinced family members to try them out to the tune of several more netbooks and desktops. When I worked (briefly) at Best Buy, I always tried a little harder to sell their stuff to customers than HP, Dell, or whatever else. Glad to hear they delt with you respectfully and to your satisfaction.Russell Hollanderhttp://www.russellhollander.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-58469077757174693612011-08-01T16:49:35.311-05:002011-08-01T16:49:35.311-05:00This is good to hear, because I have an ASUS lapto...This is good to hear, because I have an ASUS laptop that's just under a year old running Linux Mint 9 LTS "Isadora", and while I haven't had any problems with either the hardware or the software (aside from it being unable to suspend/hibernate, despite my best efforts), it's good to know that the customer support understands the difference between hardware and software when offering help.<br />--<br />a Linux Mint user since 2009 May 1PVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204919785416600206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-64675398641843783752011-08-01T16:25:21.986-05:002011-08-01T16:25:21.986-05:00Not looking forward to the day that I might have a...Not looking forward to the day that I might have a hardware fault on this HP netbook where I need a remedy under it's warranty. The brief statement regarding a "Must return entire package if you do not wish to continue the Microsoft install" gives me a clear indication of where they are coming from in regard to a non-acceptance of Windows. This from a company that boasts it's a supplier of hardware to the motion picture industry. I just laughed at the posturing on their statement, but it wouldn't be the first time I've needed to rubbish a retailer's arguments to their face. The first thing I did was to get some practical usage facts regarding their choice of OS over mine, and for Win7 starter, it does not look at all pretty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-3672668025578494342011-08-01T16:17:48.566-05:002011-08-01T16:17:48.566-05:00I too love use Asus products for most everything, ...I too love use Asus products for most everything, since the original EEE 701. I'm glad to hear your tech experience is good. <br /><br />A quick pass through newegg's customer support generally shows a lot of negative reviews about Asus's customer service, as apparently they won't do anything unless you've registered your warrantee in the first month of ownership.Grant Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00366349480592207557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-86075368613676676632011-08-01T14:56:34.943-05:002011-08-01T14:56:34.943-05:00Good to hear.
