Not at all. My 2020 G14 is still kicking, and from what I've seen in the ROG-linux community, their construction has only gotten better, with even beefier heatsinks crammed in, more shared heatpipes between the sides and liquid metal TIM. Look up their teardowns on notebookcheck; they're crazy.
I dunno about mobo issues. Our Asus laptops had no problems, but I haven't used them for desktop in a long time.
Best to check on individual models before pulling the trigger, of course. I know there was some bad history with the Intel ones specifically.
Nice! Thank you for the info. I’ll keep looking into them as I keep seeing the ROG and Legion battle online via Reddit and forums.
I’ve had ASUS in the past myself. My current desktop mobo is ASUS and has lasted for years. It’s a budget mobo but it’s taken a lot of what I’ve thrown at it. I think it’s from 2012? 😂
FYI laptops from the Asus (or TUF) brands are much more mixed, especially in terms of their cooling hardware.
