I went out and got an Asus, largely because it was so well liked here (not to mention other sites thought it was great, too). I had the thing for about six months and the hard drive dies on me. I had to send it to Asus to get it fixed and that was about two weeks ago. Crazy thing is, before I got my Asus, I had a Dell. Everyone said Dell was junk, but my Dell laptop was still running (although it got stolen after I lent it to a friend). My Dell lasted longer than my Asus!
You do realize that the HDD is made for asus by other companies (WD, etc.), and that the HDD is the most vulnerable part of a computer due to having moving parts?
What happens to your reasoning if I say that my Laptop has almost 5 years and never had a malfunction, never had to reinstall the OS and its purring like a kitten? Yeah, anecdotes don't really count.
I would be glad if I were you, simply because the malfunction occurred during product warranty
