Asus.
don’t know much about them. Well built?
>>don’t know much about them. Well built?
Yes. I’ve had 4 of their laptops and I’ve used their motherboards in desktops for many years. I only replace them because I’m a techie and need more, faster, bigger, etc. I sell them to friends when I upgrade and they’re all still running.
Own two Asus laptops. Oldest one is 3 years old. Never given me a problem.
Steer clear of anything with the names Lenovo, HP, Dell, Gateway and MSI on them. I cannot tell you how many of these I've fixed (physical repairs, HDD's and undoing crapware installed on them for friends and family.) If you gave me one of these I'd just pitch it in the garbage for all they're worth. Crappy build quality.
I could be wrong, but I believe Asus is Gateway made overseas.
Gateway sold out.
I always liked Gateways. But I have a Vaio now.
