Why we wouldn't repair this device
- •Asus support for this model has ended. It no longer receives security updates, meaning every month you keep it is a month of unpatched vulnerabilities.
- •Typical repairs cost $300, 300% of a $100 replacement. At that ratio, the math doesn’t work in repair’s favour.
When the math doesn't work out for repair, the move is to find a replacement built to last longer. Here are our picks:
