Toshibas are reliable but make sure your price range is $600 and higher. ASUS has always been crap.

I have an Asus X5AV for over a year and a half and it hasn't given me any kind of issues. Also, it's been the most reliable laptop I've ever had. I've burned through a Toshiba Satellite 100-400P and a HP before this one. 

I'm sorry for your bad luck, but your experience with any laptop isn't an indicative of how a brand of laptops perform overall. And no, their laptops are not of terrible quality. If you want terrible quality, buy an Acer  


Its funny you should mention ACER. I have an old acer laptop that i bought about 5 years ago that still runs just fine!!! Haha i dont use it much as ive bought 2 laptops since then but it still does indeed work with 0 problems! Haha :P Which makes my problems all the more baffling!!! I used to LOVE ASUS but now im really starting to question their laptops reliability.

Well, I guess we're on opposite sides of the spectrum then Both my parents and other family members have had ACERs breaking down on them. I'm the only one with an ASUS though.

So after COUNTLESS problems with my ASUS G71 laptop i bought last september Bestbuy decided to replace my laptop. I Now have an Asus G73. However i just got it today and im experiencing one of the exact same problems as i had with the last one. My battery will not charge. When i plug in my AC adapter it will register and say 95% Available (Plugged in Not charging)

Ive tried everything and it still will not work. Like i said before my last computer from ASUS had this exact same problem and i ended up having to send it in to them to get it repaired. This is absolutely Ridiculous this is the second BRAND NEW $1200 laptop i have bought from ASUS that has crapped out on me within 3 Months.

DO NOT buy a laptop from ASUS. I love their Motherboards and have never had problems with them but their laptops are TERRIBLE build quality.


 Cool story bro

BTW, HP, Dell, Toshiba, and Acer all use ASUS laptop motherboards and components in their laptops. So you wont get away from their cheap laptop components.

I don't know if I agree. One should avoid entry level laptops no matter what the brand.

If you buy a 400 dollar Dell, HP, Toshiba, emachines...it will suck. Asus is no different.

I know people with higher end Asus laptops (my gf) and they have very little issues with it.


Well i paid $1400 for my G71 and then was refunded the full amount by Best buy and then paid $1200 for this G73. So these are definitely not Entry level Laptops



Long Live SHIO!

Just so you know that laptop will no longer be stocked at Best Buy. That is the Exact model i got and Best Buy said they are being phased out. So good luck with that. Cant wait to get this POS switched out. Im never buying another ASUS laptop again.



Long Live SHIO!
