I'm looking for a basic laptop which I'll use for basic browsing things and at the most probably play some oldish games on. Is there a reason to be concerned about this asus? It seems solid for the price and I'm sure there are a few concerns that I don't know about since the op recommends the 440 thinkpads

I asked some guys at a local repair shop about the 440 series and they lumped lenovo in the same category as HP and Dell because supposedly they see a lot of motherboard malfunctions between those three brands. Which is why I was looking at Asus

also, this study:

That includes both the Thinkpads (good) and the other poo poo that Lenovo sells (bad). I find it hard to believe that the repair shop would know anything about the T440 line as they're not even shipping yet.

Ah ok that makes more sense. He just said that get a lot of Lenovo laptops with dead motherboards

Is there any point to a touchscreen laptop that doesn't fold back into tablet form? I don't get it and I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing
