I've never known anyone with a reliable ASUS but they have to be top of the list for a reason so I'd start there. Jeez, I'm a "no one"...???
I bought an Asus a month and a half ago, and it is
freakin' sweet. if you'll note, I haven't talked about Hayden P. for over a month, because I love the curves on my Asus even more. (hahahaha)
