[CONTEST] Boost My PC - Part 3

[summersky1986]

I agree to some extent with what you spoke about, but the point is rather than doing a publicity stunt of high end components for a few people who don't really need such high end, why not spend the money towards more basic capability rigs for orphanages etc? Surely there are enough around who need it. Am at the "rat race" now struggling to survive, so I can actually pay for my stuff, so back to this thread later tonight

On leave today

I agree with you too.. but you see a tech company would surely want to show off their tech I'm sure Asus or any company for the matter can build 20 i3 rigs with onboard graphics.. but it doesn't show the satkiness

Currently using a gaming laptop leh (Asus G73JH).. I don't know about Asus customer service or how chui is it (everyone's saying chui lulz)


But in 3+ years the laptop never gave me as much as a hiccup of problem.. Okay the battery is dead but it's still relatively fast.. and I still can play FF14 on max with it.. gonna retire the lappy soon and pass it to my mom to upgrade her netbook


I posted in the other thread (sorry to digress)

Not wine, but probably vinegar. Since you are here commenting, possible to assume you would like and have no objections to partake of some jealousy/sour grapes/wine?

Personally I'm not jealous at the components cos mine are higher end. (Edit - I'm jealous that these people get their hands on high end stuff without even working for it)

I'm also wondering about the logic of dumping so much high end stuff on young kids for free while at the same time pricing margins on asus hardware being so high.

Asus hardware sells itself well enough without having to resort to publicity stunts which cost a huge amount and do not accomplish much in particular.

Could the amount that went into the 2 high end pcs have gone into building 4 basic pc for a underprivileged orphans home for example? Food (or wine Phelan if you prefer) for your thoughts

LOL those 2 desktops can easily make 5 pentium pc + monitor.

 

[summersky1986]

Can someone bai moi Pentium computers

But I digress.. again..

summersky1986 no need look for Nigel or Fortran. You give Michelle a phone call, she can help you boost your PC. Got special treatment.

Later you get the bill from ASUS also chua tio.

 

[ASUS@SG]

Thanks for the feedback. This time the build will be close to reality (we hope).

Just sign up, be it notebook or desktop. We just can't accept tablet or phones.

We saw build that is way better than the PC we boost in our entry, so no surprises.

 

[and_who]

I have one long saga with asus that I will be posting soon titled : asus: boost your customer service policies

They have some good people there like JK that were most sincere but was unable to do the decent thing for me because of "company policy". The same company policy that hands out extreme pcs to people randomly.

 

[ASUS@SG]

ASUS LOOK AT MY SPEC, BOOST MY PC PLOX.. I'M TOO POOR TO AFFORD QUAD SLI

 

[ykgoh]

ASUS LOOK AT MY SPEC, BOOST MY PC PLOX.. I'M TOO POOR TO AFFORD QUAD SLI

Lol the rate asus does things - don't be surprised some of the contestants that talk kok that need computer to do school work and basic tasks get a supercomputer instead to play games instead.

Those two winner are probably gaming on it now and laughing at us carrot tops queuing to hand money over at sls, while their high end components are being paid for by actual paying customers that work for their money.

 

[shadow84]

Maybe for ep 3, they give him/her watercooling sia...

 

[and_who]

Them giving watercooling and totally disproportionate components would not be surprising, while their warranty policies give the rest of the paying asus customers the middle finger.

I'm crossing my fingers as to what happens when (and not if) my maximus vi extreme starts to give problems and needs rma.

*why buy in the first place you ask me? I ran two rigs, and I bought the z87 vi extreme before my maximus v gene gave problems and I got a taste of their warranty policy.
