A new report suggests that all three memory manufacturers — Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron — have collectively sold through their 2027 memory manufacturing capacity to AI companies.
they really are horrible laptops, especially the ROG ones. Those things on day one you turn it on are like “alright, time to start killing myself”. you can keep all the fans constantly clean, repaste them every few months, and they’ll still cook themselves alive. and the AC adapter will die on you faster than the laptop itself. I had to replace the AC adapter on mine 3 times in 2 years.
This is wild to hear? What year(s) are we talking on these Asus laptops? Everything Asus I’ve bought has been rock solid, and I go out of my way to get their hardware. I haven’t really bought any new systems or components in about 5 years though…
Asus laptops are such trash. Same with Acer. I kept seeing people recommend them but every time I bought one it came with a major manufacturing defect or some important component failed almost immediately.
That happened to me three times and I had to return each laptop. So now when I buy a laptop, I only go for ThinkPads and MacBooks. And tbh it’ll only be macs going forward because Lenovo can’t be trusted.
Say what you will about apple but their hardware quality can’t be beaten and going forward there are people building Linux distros for them. So even when apple stops updating them you should have options.
Only thing that sucks is MacBooks are crazy expensive. So I buy them used/refurbed from good sellers on eBay. Haven’t had an issue yet.
I have an Asus laptop and the touchpad stopped working tue first week. Piece of garbage.

Friends don’t let friends buy Asus laptops.
