Here is a constructive feedback for you - How about actually improving your service up to a point where people don't actually call you out in forums such as this complaining about your bad service?

After people publicly complain, you turn up and ask us what can we do to improve service and all. What for? You can't solve it when people personally went to the service center, why terhegeh-hegeh asking what you can do when people complain publicly?

Lets just pull one example. One of my customer brought back his Timeline 4830 to Highpoint (branch name withheld) complaining that the unit cannot connect to WiFi. Just bought less than a week and you have a showstopper here, well actually Windows say that wifi is connected but no internet service. Why on earth do you need 1 week plus for diagnostic? Why the need to send to Subang la this and that. In fact, if you have been dealing with Highpoint the standard line answer is always "We need to send it to Subang.". Your technician sometimes just lazy la.

You know who the customer comes to complain? Us reseller. We get accused of selling crap items. It took me about ten minutes to figure out that the problem (which is quite common with Acer products) is a bad driver. Change with a generic wifi driver and voila! Everything works.

Nowadays, its either Dell, HP or Lenovo. I do sell the odd Acer now and then, but I'd rather just save myself the aggravation and sell things that do actually work out of the box.

And that is why Acer still stinks in term of reputation. You have computers not working out of the box, heck, one customer came back with several dead pixels on a 1 day old unit. Highpoint refuses to warranty. And I get blasted by the customer. Thanks to Acer. Again.

I have numerous other horror stories connected to Acer laptops but I don't think its fair to list it out here, since this thread is talking about Asus. Bottom line - Acer brand name got tagged with the reputation it has because of the shenanigans of the distributor and service center. The solution is up here, check it out.

To Asus. You want to become the next Acer? Ignore the people here in this forum at your own peril.

Try slot in the low latency DDR2/DDR3 ram module to HP/Compaq notebooks and you know it's not working out of the box.
HP/Compaq don't give a damn even if you cry your lung out.

For me, Acer is one of those that works out of the box. Excellent compatibility with low latency ram modules right out of the box.
I tortured my Acer notebook. I tested various ram modules and SSDs in it. I have not encountered a single compatibility issue.
I'm running it 24/7 for many months now. It's still running perfectly fine.

Speaking of HP, my 3-month old DV6-6001TX just died on me last night. I just sent it back to Thundermatch for RMA.
My wife only uses the DV6 for word processing and some FB flash games.

For good order sake, tell us which current Acer notebook that doesn't work out of the box.
Perhaps Highpoint can do something about it.

i have called and informed my seller that i insist wan to get the refund.. if the supplier or whatever party don wan to refund me back, then i am gonna file to consumer tribunal.. my seller says he will discuss with the supplier..either he get the money first then refund me or supplier take out the money..

i have also prepared a letter..wait few more days..if no news, will call again and if still no ans, i will officially issue the letter to request the refund within 7 days or else i file the complaint to tribunal.. i don care this time now..  sad.gif

actually there is no problem for my seller to get the money out.. he just take his own money, then when other ppl wan to buy product, he can just deduct from that amount.. wat did he lose? .. the main reason i think is wan me buy the product again only..  mad.gif and for the supplier, what is the logic that money go in then cannot come out? that is the refund from Asus ..Asus can issue a refund then why supplier cannot? some more that money is not belong to supplier..

i let my colleague who was lawyer before review my case..according to her, if go to tribunal, i wont lose the case as there is no such law forcing ppl to buy anything without the buyer's agreement.. she told me just to be firm and don't have to meet the seller wasting my time and petrol anymore.. they are delaying my time and playing my patience till i let the step only.. since like this, just officially giving them a letter then file a complaint after that..let tribunal review my case.. i have also enquire to consumer tribunal, they also reply me that my case can be filed.. i will wait again till fri, no news then i will proceed with my next step..  rclxms.gif

Hico, if I were you, I would have gone for the consumer tribunal many months ago. I'll sue Asus Taiwan and Asus Malaysia too.

I think you messed up.
Your friend has got nothing to do here.
Your friend has no capacity to either fix your PC or refund you. He's irrelevant.
It is the supplier (you mean the dealer?), Asus Malaysia and Asus Taiwan. They are held responsible as you have a valid RMA case.

Go to consumer tribunal immediately so that you can sort it out asap.
You can get your money + compensation, I reckon.

yes..i know..but i ask my colleague already.. i have to point to the seller..cos i bought from him..then behind him who else is not related to me.. he have to do the warranty claim for me and get back the refund.. my contract is with the seller..then seller to the other.. so when i file the complaint, must go to seller too.. then let consumer tribunal to go ahead.. some more my notebook is sent to my seller to post out.. and the receipt also from my seller.. she told me don mess the thing become so complicated.. later the case is no ending.. just point to seller then let consumer to judge and make the final decision.. and she told me i can cc my letter to Asus and the supplier as well so that they all know abt the progress...

It's up to you. You can sue against your friend, the seller, as well.

IMO, if your friend has done all the procedures of RMA, I don't think he will be held liable.
Get your friend to sue against the dealer, Asus Malaysia and Asus Taiwan too.

Anyway, let's not speculate further, go to consumer tribunal and seek the advice.
Good luck.

Why your friend wants to compensate you with his money?

You have a valid RMA case, haven't you?
It doesn't sound right.

i sent my notebook to my seller..my seller give me a slip written what they took from me..thats it i got..

the money already refund from Asus to distributor.. now problem the seller told me the money go into distri's account, cannot take out.. so i sue Asus, Asus said money already paid follow the procedure..  i go to supplier, i have no contract with them... the only way is go to seller.. then let the consumer tribunal judge who should take all the action.. same like u buy from SenQ..then sent warranty through them. maybe its a sony camera...so they sent back and take months to come back..u gonna sue senq or sony? thats what my colleague advice me..don care how they do or don bother who involve.. let judge call all the relevant ppl involve after they review.. the buyer has no right to jump over that.. i only can point to seller as all my prove is to the seller only..

Don't play their game.
The supplier, Asus Malaysia and Asus Taiwan are held responsible on the RMA or the full refund.

How can such huge company like Asus held to a ransom by a puny distributor?
It doesn't make sense.
