I have become disillusioned with consumer laptops in this price range. In the past 1-2 years, I have had two different Asus Vivobooks die on me just outside the 24month warranty window. In both cases, I had to pay addiotional money to then have their repair department quote me price 110% of a new specimen, for 'repair'. That such pricy devices can blow up irrepairably in a window of 25 months, is not acceptable.
