This article was a pure delight, as usual!

The Inquirer is a TABLOID style techno news site. It's even written on it's banner. Reviews, facts AND FRICTION...

They alway exaggerate a bit, slightly blow things out of proportion. That I know and I like. What I also like is that the INQ, IMHO, did not sell its soul to any manufacturers. There trade mark is "I don't give a shit who you are, this is what I think about this product".

I already hear some say "Impartial?? What about Nvidia bashing and ATI glorification?" They don't dislike Nvidia products that much, it's Nvidia's corporate bullshit and asshole attitude they can't stand. ATI is just more respectful and generally more civilized. If you didn't figured that out yet, maybe you should read your news elsewhere...

All in all, I've learned to read between the INQ lines and come to trust this site more than many other supposedly "serious" review publications. With the INQ, good is good and bad is bad, period.

Now, ASUS, keep your crappy and badly supported product to yourself, would you? Beside, I don't forgive your misconduct toward my favorite website. When you attack the INQ, you attack me.

hehehe. gurl power @ inq.

at least now i could see all the shiny toys from Asus at close up.

:)

I won't lose any sleep when Asus goes tits-up.

At one time Asus was THE Asian Mobo maker supplying quality OEM products. that all went out the window about 6 years or so ago when they decided the retail maerket was more lucrative. they started shipping half-baked garbage with unending design, engineering and operational defects. They provided zero customer support and refused to even acknowledge the defects even when documented by countless review websites and users. Basically consumers were treated about the same as The Inquirers was recently... Ignored or abused.

Time to shut-off the lights at this sweatshop.

Very good stuff, I look forward to reading more articles from you. Why can't anyone else in the INQ have decent content like yours?

I second that! I've had terrible results with their support! I've once even sent back an LVD SCSI cable due to a bad terminator, and after never receving a replacement, they told me, I should not of "send" cables in.

Dear Sir Maddam, me think not you send cables should have!

Bastards.

superhobo: The INQ may not be "charming, polite, and courteous", but Sylvie was raised a nice girl, so natch she would be.

Reynod: Wassa mattah, can't tell the diff between Charlie and Sylvie? Check the byline, doofus.

Lets not all fall over ourselves to fellate ASUS. They do in fact make pretty good products. It's too bad they don't support them for shit. That's a fact.

That dual screen touch notebook is really awesome. WTF?

how can you even hint at knocking that. That is on my list for purchases. I have never bothered to buy a laptop (I have a few for free that suck) This I would get. It is like a fancy DSi... who can knock that?

And the Inquirer being the charming, polite, and courteous publication it is, deserves the apology.

Not.
