well, you can't blame him for not reading the article - he smelt it.

"Refined, NOT reinvented."
This shit is awesome!

You're either not every intelligent or very missed-informed or both...

None of the companies you mentioned above makes all of their laptops. Chances are sony and apple, the brands you consider "trust worthy," are produced by Asus. If I am not mistaken, macbooks (gen5 and onwards) are both designed and made by Asus.
Asus makes the best computer and the best motherboard. Without the engineers down in Asus, we would not even get a working 486 computer. There is a reason why Intel sends their designs to Asus couple months before releasing to the rest of the manufactures.

If all you want is mass marketing, get an apple...which, by the way, might be produced by Asus.

I want my company spend money on developing their products, not on mass marketing so I can masturbate to the brand name. but i guess you are different.

My TV comes with 5 ...hehehe

"Competition is always good. "

I couldn't agree more...but it's kind of funny Asus would make this statement...I mean they make A LOT of the Apple products...

Judging from a quick comparison between a shot of the original seashell (1008HA) and this picture up here, I am guessing the form factor doesnt change. Asus simply got ride of those thick boarders around the screen, which is great news for me if the price is right!

..are you serious?
Without Asus' motherboard design, we wouldnt even see a functional 486 pc in the early 90s.
"once a descent motherboard maker" - where the have you been?

and yes! Asus motherboard> ALL

"Well isn't Microsoft obsessed about Apple? On all 3 ads they start by mentioning Apple..."
