The current one is a Vivoboox ASUS K350 2ZA BB51 CB. I'm assuming that the problem with the first unit was not a missing driver because both ASUS and Best Buy (Geek Squad) could not get it working. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim Took my laptop in to Best Buy ths morning and they said it would have to be shipped back to ASUS for repair (again). The good news is that it's still under warranty and I have a spare laptop. The bad news it that it's also an ASUS, but at least it's an older one from before they started making (in my opinion) crap.

And on some models you "Disable Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) technology". I'm of the opinion that such steps should be automatic and built into "modern" Windows. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim >USB-C ports can wear out, and become loose after 6 months of use Seem like bad design to me. As for the price, the ASUS models I bought were both the best price that met my specs. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim …. Hwever, the replacement was done by Best Buy, not by ASUS so who knows what checklist they use.

Some features may have a power saving mode or power plan, even software controls. Create a new power plan, go to high performance mode. Update drivers and BIOS. Inspecting the controller's connection to the motherboard and port,… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by rproffitt I've had a lot of their laptops at my brother's insurance office. We've been lucky with them. OK, there is a "thing" about some models where you have to install a media/storage driver for some drives to show up. So far Linux shows such drives since that driver is baked into all the current distros I've used recently. I can't offer … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by toneewa Indeed, I recommend to anyone that has USB ports to use the magnetic plugs for mini and micro USB ports. I see you could have the Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, so I'm sure it did cost little more. That would check one of my boxes. 144hz+ would be another. I don't need bloodshot eyes from 60hz. If you are a DIY fixer, you can also [replace the TB4 ports](… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim Got my laptop back from Best Buy this afternoon. I checked the power cord connection at the store and it was fine. I wish I'd checked it further because I started having problems as soon as I got it home and powered up. First of all, they replaced the motherboard so when I got it back it had been wiped and reset. First thing I noticed was that the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by toneewa If the power connector was replaced with the motherboard, then your charging cord is suspect. If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim I got a call from Best Buy this morning to tell me my laptop was back. When I got to the counter I told the tech that I would not accept it until they showed me that it could be reset to factory. I'll leave out a few of the details that don't matter to the tale. He powered up the laptop and showed me Windows 11. The touchpad was working. He went… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim >Sounds like a very bad recovery image Possibly. But why didn't this show up when they did the reset prior to returning the laptop? Imagine that you just bought a car (should be pretty easy for you). You and your wife take a drive in the countryside and at some point you drive over a nail and get a flat tire. No problem because you have a … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by toneewa > Ever had to install Windows from 39 floppy disks? It was not fun, especially when disk 39 frequently had a read error. Not that many, I still have them. Highest was 6 for booting, so I could read a CD.

Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by toneewa > I'm assuming the drive wasn't bitlockered? Nope, I don't use that feature. In my opinion, it's equivalent to using ransomware on your own stuff. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim I always disable it as well. That's yet another thing I have to remember to undo when I get it back. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim I called Best Buy Friday morning to ask about the status of my laptop. I was told the average wait time was one minute. Fifteen minutes later I was told there were eight calls ahead of me and would I like to leave my number for a callback. I did so and after two more hours of waiting I called the local Best Buy direct. I was told my laptop would be… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Months Ago by toneewa Sounds like you got it all squared away. One reason I don't want to ever do a Windows reinstall is the compilers, libraries, and other software configurations. I've done 1 since 2015 for myself, with Windows 10. I also expect since, NAND flash SSDs wear out, it'll happen sooner or later. Only 37% life of drive remaining. Best of luck!

What's more, it shows that Asus has been knocked off the netbook sales perch by Acer… initially as a response to the competitive threat posed by Asus, but also to satisfy demand from customers for low-priced…
