    A company that has a long history of products literally catching fire/melting is not a company any reasonable person would call okayish.

    Hell, just in recent history their motherboards were vaporizing copper off of AMD CPUs, and their ROG Ally is literally cooking SD cards into non-functionality.

    Lets not forget that they tried to escape liability for their CPU Cooking by releasing a beta bios that cancelled your warranty if you installed it.

    ASUS is a cheap, 8th tier, chinese trash tier equivalent company… and I genuinely have no idea short of mass hypnosis/drugging how they got a reputation as a quality, reputable brand.

      do they though?

      I mean all big companies have such cases - a bit more if they are cheap (and yes, asus mostly does cheap) - but mostly it’s “more products sold equals more fire”.

      Just look at the tons of samsung fires! They even got some of their smartphones completely banned on flights. (btw: I’m not a fan of either)
