I'm trying to baby this new Asus and I hope I get
at least a few years out
of it. I do sweat quite a bit when gigging though. I'm keenly aware that,
one pull on the wrong cable during, before, or after a show, and that'll
probably be the end of it. I'm starting to play on the beach a lot, and I
know I'm living dangerously.
While the asus are not as stable and robust as ThinkPads, they still last
years. I carry mine in my normal backpack, pull them by the screen and
generally "use" them. My first was in use for three years by me (bought Feb
2002), went to my grandpa and is now back with me still working. The second
one is now three years old and still works like on the first day. Even
battery life hasn't changed much.
So while IBM (!= Lenovo) and Fujitsu-Siemens are as good as their reputation,
Asus is better then its reputation. And lots of no-name laptops are in fact
Asus...
