ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 Laptop

I've always liked Asus, but this laptop was a COMPLETE waste of money. I got it as a Christmas gift for my husband about two years ago, and it's been an absolute pain since day 1. Right out of the box, the HDMI didn't work, wifi couldn't connect, the brightness was stuck on max with no way to change it (literally, the brightness slider was completely missing), it could barely run Chrome even with no other programs open, and the RAM was constantly maxing out for no reason. I tried a BUNCH of fixes and eventually got it functional (still slow and laggy, but it worked well enough for my husband to work on), only for all of the problems to return a few months later. We then caved and sent it in to Asus for repairs or replacement. After getting it back it worked again, but was still slow. Fine, whatever, he just needs to run his work programs on it. Now all the issues are back again. I'm seriously dissappointed in the lack of quality for the price. I know tech can have rare issues which is why I gave it the benefit of the doubt and sent it in for repairs, but the fact that it just keeps breaking has made me lose all faith in it. It seemed like a perfect laptop for my husband's needs, but instead we've been stuck with an absolute pain in the neck for two years. We're finally giving up and replacing it. Save yourself the headache and just get something else.
