Asus is an upcoming brand in laptops but they have been market from a long time.
Their laptops have very good build quality and no heating issues, and they are offering good configuration at a very good price also.
And also they are providing onsite warranty,which is pretty good.

Asus been in the laptop field since a long time. But as it was not available here, most are unaware of it or too paranoid to try. same will happen if Clevo launches its laptops here tomorrow.

one reason why Asus laptop remains cool can be that they design their own laptops (through Pegatron or themselves) and they have excellent know how of cooling tech as seen in their motherboards. just one problem with most Asus laptops are their screen viewing angle is really bad (use cheap AUO panels at times) and also the screen quality is not of high standard in the budget laptops. But one gets excellent spec at price where you can't get a proper 500GB HDD from HP or Sony.
