This is a continuation of my previous post:
Just when I was already resigned to the fact that I might just buy an ultrabook which, for me, is too expensive for its worth, I suddenly came across with Asus Zenbook.
What's good with it is that, it is cheaper than Toshiba. It costs P59,995. Its features are comparative with other high-end ultrabooks but then it is made in.. Taiwan!
I have nothing against Asian-made products. It is just that, well maybe, I am still illiterate as to which manufacturer to trust. And if the Asus Product Guide (shown below) is to be believed
then, I have nothing to worry about. The said magazine claims that Asus has the lowest malfunction rate as illustrated in the bar graph shown on the right:
I remember, the first laptop that was assigned to me was an Asus. It costs around P115,000 then (about 10 years ago). Don't ask me if it's overpriced as I had nothing to do with its purchase. I was just too happy and thankful that my former boss entrusted me with the said gadget. I should say that I did not encounter any problems with it except for its slow speed, which by the way, was common for most computers then.
I was almost convinced and was ready to hand in my credit card when I, out of the blue, changed my mind. That is, I decided to put off my plans of buying an ultrabook, maybe until the time when the laptop I'm using right now will no longer serve its purpose. And to keep up with the times, I might have another ultrabook review by then. :)
