ASUS N10 User Review

Ah, that's the site I was looking for. Stumbled upon it in google, but forgot to bookmark. Thanks!

Is it Rock Solid and Heart Touching?

The N10 is very close to being my perfect netbook, but unfortunately it's not quite there. HDMI goes a long way though.

Is the ram user upgradeable?

I think there are a couple versions of the n10J. basically if it has 1 gig of ram it can upgrade to 2 gig ram. if it already has 2 it cannot be upgraded any further the system wont recognize more ram then 2 gb. At least what ive read.

Yes but it voids the warranty to do so.

WHAT??????

WHAT??????

I was told by Asus to to I did not void the warranty and, upgrade then just replace the original ram stick. Unfortunately 1) it is Fraud, a federal offense 2)Do you really think they are going to honor that?

That's very unfortunate that Asus Japan have these restrictions. However, I should mention that none of the Asus notebooks and netbooks purchased in North America can have their warranties voided by upgrading the RAM. The only way to have your warranty voided is by removing the "void if removed" sticker located on one of the screws securing the GPU or GPU. From experience, this is also the same for Asus Hong Kong.

Interesting, I was told the N10 was the only notebook that would lose its warranty by upgrading hard drive or memory

Probably in Japan and maybe other countries it does, but not in the the US or Canada. Ram and hard drive upgrades won't affect the warranty. At least that's what Asus and GenTechPC are telling me

I pointed out the legitimate evidence that the notebook appears to have been used previously and the employee and manager agreed but I was told to contact Asus though not recommended. I was told if I did indeed contact ASUS I would lose the notebook and may end up in a trial as they do not replace systems with any cosmetic blemishes upon arrival.

Lose the notebook and End up in trial?!?!? For what? Calling Asus?!?!? You have GOT to be kidding me!!!!

First of all, what kind of company thinks that they can confiscate a notebook simply because the customer is complaining about an issue (and a LEGIT issue at that!). If Asus (or any company for that matter) EVER did that with me, I'd sue them faster that the speed of light (and I still wouldn't give them the notebook)!

Secondly, how in the entire universe could you possibly end up in trial?! You've done absolutely nothing wrong here; it's Asus that needs to go to trial for such an outrageous excuse for "customer service"!

"Number 1 in service". It looks like Asus left out one little part of that line: "Number 1 in service at screwing people over".

All I can say is, Asus needs to be taken to court for this kind of BS ASAP. This is simply ludicrous.
