You're probably not going to get any meaningful data here. One guy's opinion or another guy's about the single or small handful of Asus laptops they've owned isn't statistically important and Asus doesn't provide any data.

Usually in life if you want better quality, you're going to have to pay for it.

Is Asus quality any good?. Need it to last more than 5 years like my SD Fujitsu, which is still chugging along

Don't forget the 1% back in SD rewards. All you have to do is order through a PC, install a browser extension, then send some follow up emails. Sure, another cash back site is currently offering 6% CASH back with a single click, but why would anyone want to do that?

Asus is generally very good.

I got my first Asus laptop in college and it lasted throughout my Bachelors program and then a few years thereafter!

That's highly dependant on how it's used. I had an Asus which lasted 1-2 years before the screen broke. Pro Tip: don't jump down a full flight of stairs with it in your loose backpack.

My next Asus (U56E) lasted from 2011 till now. I used it everywhere and everyday till 2015 or 2016. I got another laptop at that point because the WiFi kept cutting out on the Asus. The laptop still worked great until now. The ONLY reason I just got rid of it is because I was using the parts to update a friend's laptop which was slightly newer. (Turns out the pins were dirty on the WiFi adapter. I could have cleaned them and kept using WiFi instead of using a USB adapter.)

I've found that ASUS quality can be very hit or miss. They just don't consistently make a solid laptop. Sometimes they have issues with trackpads or screens and sometimes like someone people here have said they are solid. They probably were more solid back in the day.

What I would do is go on YouTube and watch some video reviews of them. A good test is rigidity. When they test for how much the laptop flexes. If your typing on a keyboard and you can feel the whole bottom flexing that's not a good sign and especially if the screen is bouncing around when your typing on it. If your needing something solid look for a laptop with a solid body. That flex can lead to all sorts of issues later.

Last year I went on eBay and ordered a dell latitude e7270 with a 6th gen core i5. It's a thin and light ultra book that weighs 3lbs. I can carry it around open with one hand and has no body flex whatsoever. But buying used is like getting a box of chocolates you never know what your gonna get. But I will say former business grade laptops are my favorite if you have to buy used, dell latitude, hp probook etc, have been really consistent and they will last 10+ easy even with abuse

Great specs for a laptop.

Every brand can have good and bad laptops. The brand is not the best indicator of laptop quality. It's always a good idea to look into specific models of a laptop before buying.
I like Asus as a brand and have had good experiences with them in the past.

Not bad for a minimum needs laptop.

No heavy gaming or video editing with this.

Also, don't open 50 browser windows...

I bought the AMD version of this laptop for the same price earlier this year for my wife. This thing has been great. It meets her needs perfectly(Office apps, heavy browsing, and YouTube) Backlit keyboard is a plus.The screen is not great, but it functions perfectly for her needs. The only REAL complaint is the sound. The speakers on this thing are simply HORRIBLE. Seriously.. The max volume is laughable.

I have the previous years version of this laptop, with the previous gen i3 processor. Overall I've been very happy with it. It feels very solid especially considering the sub $400 price. The hinge is smooth and touchpad clicks don't feel flimsy. If you don't abuse it, it should last 5 years easily, except maybe the battery.

Get a laptop from Costco for the 4 years warranty and keep your fingers crossed after that for the 5th year...
