My MSI board has outlasted all ASUS boards I've owned... If anything putting ASUS under MSI is making MSI look bad.

see, ive had the opposite experience.

 

Everything ive had (and still have) from ASUS has been utter perfection.  Everything ive gotten from MSI has either had manufacturing defects, or the software is garbage.  Or in the case of my current Linux Rig, the BIOS doesnt play nice with Linux for some reason.

I guess different luck  Boards aren't the only ASUS thing I've owned that have failed either. Tho when you produce thousands of the same items (likely a day) you're bound to have defects that sneak threw... I do agree MSI's software is pure and utter garbage lol, and the BIOS could be the issue for my boot drive not found errors (why I hate windows update doing its own shit w/o me around) #poundthesnoozebutton4life... But it's not like ASUS is "much" better for software support either...

 

I had a issue with Gigabyte for Linux where Ubuntu wouldn't install (live disc worked perfectly fine in every way), yet Fedora worked... I really should make use of my 75GB of unallocated space  But I fear if I go to Linux I shall never return to windows (not a bad thing)

I only maintain a windows machine for gaming.  It literally has EA origin, Battlenet, and steam installed.  Also Chrome, because fuck Edge and IE.

 

I have a couple ASUS monitors, and had a transformer pad (TF201 Model) with the keyboard.  they all still work perfectly 5+ years later.

 

that said im not brand loyal at all.  I have an Acer monitor, along with an old westinghouse.  ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI motherboards, and all manner of intel and AMD CPUs lol.

 

Whatever offers me the best price/performance/longevity at the time.

Never tried their monitors, my first monitor was LG which still works, hence go back to the company that doesn't fail. I could have gotten a cheaper monitors for my current computer but not by much. But when looking side by side the LGs (at the time) looked best running for the price range.

 

I don't think I have anything ASUS that's working anymore (less 2 laptop/tablet units with various defects bought as is, recently), while I'm generally not brand loyal I have been leaning towards LG for many products for the last few years. Only thing they've failed to produce longevity on were DVD and CD drives, which still work actually for read only applications lol... (they are shelved), Own a few Sammy products too, and a family members monitor looks nice and hasn't failed in nearly 2 years.

 

Tho I will admit I went out of my way when I bought my first bluray player for my computer lol...

My Love  I must of paid nearly $200 for it brand new lol... (over 5 years ago now)

 

My next computer might have a AMD in it, but that's not for another 2-3 years, this computer is almost all company products I've never used before, and should have done the same with my PSU, since it seems to be the biggest issue causer...

c'mon, this isn't a who's better thread, but what mistake amazon made (which should have been a status update than a thread).
