Asus is very hard to buy. On paper they release great machines but I dont see them in stores.
Serves them right for refusing to update the UX530 with 8th gen and GTX1050 but putting all their money on those horrible 2-in-1s. The UX530 update if they actually release it will run circles around the sales of any and all 2-in-1s they release. They really ought to know this stuff. Seems like they still haven't figured out where their market share comes from.
Dieter, I don't think that's quite true.. Asus announced that new 2-in-1s in, what August, and they are still not out!
They actually look great. Not sure what your beef is with convertible devices. They are just like a regular laptop + on top of that you can fold the screen. Nothing is taken out, just added.
