Didn't they JUST release the ROG Ally? Why would I buy a platform that's going to change every year? No thanks.
Those arn't consoles. this is supposed to be a hand held console. It needs a longer cycle time.You mean like video cards, CPUs, and motherboards?
No, these are handheld PCs.Those arn't consoles. this is supposed to be a hand held console.
I just watched the video. What a bunch of scum bags. I had a instance with them over chat about about my current Asus motherboard and they said they would reach back out to me via email, and I got nothing. They supposedly gave me a case #, but before I could even write it down the chat abruptly ended. I honestly would not buy anything from them again.(Haven't seen this yet)

I think I got my first ASUS product in the very early 2000s. A motherboard for my Athlon Tbird CPU. It was a sh1t board. That soured me on ASUS for a while, but I eventually gave them another shot, and I've bought a ton of their stuff over the years (mainly motherboards) since the mid 2000s. Never had a problem with any of the ASUS products I owned previously, but it was always understood that buying ASUS was a risk. You bought an ASUS product and then prayed to the good Lord that the product would continue to work properly for years to come. If you bought one of their products and it worked fine, then you were usually good to go. But if it didn't, well then good f*cking luck with ASUS customer service. Every ASUS product purchase is a gamble. This has been true for a very long time now. But in recent years ASUS has gotten especially worse, and for the time being I'll probably avoid them. Like I don't know if I'll use them for my next mainboard. ASUS was bad enough over the past couple decades+, we really don't need them to get any worse.I truly hope they change direction and start respecting their customers because I've been hearing way too many of these stories over the last 5 years.

Shiiiiat MSI, my dad and I have had a ban on since the 90s, but in recent years I've been more open to them again. Using a fantastic graphics card by them now, although I didn't buy it new. Gigabyte was usually my 2nd choice for motherboards after ASUS, and lately they've been the Tweedle-dee to ASUS' Tweedle-dumb. As in, they've been f*cking up nearly as bad as ASUS.You may be right, but who is there that is doing better? Both Gigabyte and MSI have also had pretty bad RMA stories in recent years.
While I do love proffesional reviews, those are a lot of the time mainly the more expensive ones, much less common for more mid range products.Yeah, things are a bit all over the map these days. The best thing you can do is check professional reviews, and user reviews, research, and hope for the best. In that respect, basically the same as it's always been.
