Asus CEO is stepping down to let the company focus on mobile power users

[Evernessince]

I bought a beautiful ASUS device, beautiful screen anyway, very sharp.

That was it! Until after several months I was informed that I needed to do a upgrade from Asus. I did it and the stupid device continually kept re-booting. I called their service dept and asked them to help me stop it and to get it back to the original settings. They were so very slow in helping me, first claiming that I had damaged the machine, I did not.

I must have had 30 to 50 emails back and forth. They were unable to do anything. Finally I took it to several local computer repair places and they told me point blank that Asus is junk, that I should throw it out.
Still I continued trying myself to fix it, until finally after months of trying myself I was able to come to a compromise of using it in a mode that is not able to fully work.

I hope with the new CEO they will change their crappy help desk and put out a decent product meaning one that not only looks nice, but has good internal components.

Until then, I would NEVER recommend asus instead remember the letters are:: they make an *** out of U....

Any company blaming the customer right off the bat with zero facts is doing it wrong. I've heard horror stories of their customer support, I guess this is just another one.

Unfortunately it's rather hard to find good customer support nowadays. Dell, ASUS, HP, they all outsource customer support to india.

To me, I think people who master the art of multiple high level programs and able to combine the results to create something amazing are equally as powerful as people who hack drivers and compile kernels...

If you own a X86 laptop OR a desktop less than 8 years old and it prevents you from installing ANY operating system from DOS to Windows XP, then you are NOT a power user

If you own a mobile device that locks you into a specific O.S. or app store, then you are NOT a power user

If you are prevented from closing the backdoors forced upon you in the name of telemetry, you are NOT a power user

If you let ANY Corporation rename it's illegal spyware to DRM just to get around the Law and Lock you into a never ending treadmill of misery by using extortion and blackmail tactics in their one-sided Licensing Agreement, you are NOT a power user

If you can close the backdoors, stop the spying and install ANY compatible software you like, then you too just might be a power user!

The definitions you people ascribe to power users are beyond rediculous

A brilliant prophet once said......
Power users are not locked into restricted systems that define what they cannot do!
