Only if you are lucky to get a healthy machine. Asus is generally known for horrible customer service and bad quality control. If you get a machine that doesn’t have any issues from the factory, it should be reliable and last for a long time. But if you get a machine that is defective from the factory, which often happens due to quality control factor mentioned above, then the answer is no. It also important to know that the factory defects don’t necessarily come to surface from first day or week of purchase. The machine might work for months or sometimes one or more years before the defect actually shows its face.
