Just because I am stupid and I like it!

e-mail to Asus:

 

Dear Mr. xxxx,

 

I regret to annonce you that unfortunately I may not be able to return the samples of latest Asus ROG laptop you just send me in - let's say - working conditions.

 

As you may know (I guess I informed you before you sent me the sample so you were aware of that) that we at Ocaholic were from now on going to do crash tests on laptops.

 

And you know... My office is in a building, a big building (12 stairs). Things happen, it's life you know, the windows was open...

 

Anyway for the crash test we drop it from the top of the building to the ground and unfortunately for the first test/run I forgot to record the time (from t0 (top of the building) to tx (ground)).

 

 

So I had to bench it one more time. Unfotunately something else happened and the laptop did hit a recylcle bin. Which is not the ground so it has altered the testing conditions. And at Ocaholic we have very strict testing conditions and everything has to be 100 % perfect, that's why we did the test a third time.

 

(editor's note: Damn this elevator is soo slow).

 

Anyway everything went perfect during the third test. Fortunately because we ran out of samples as you sent us only 3 samples.

 

 

But my point is if you are able to send us a new sample. Because you may know that I have a lot of work and I am busy all day long so sometimes I miss something. And I forgot to test it before doing crash testing.

 

After what happened I will understand that you may not want to send us a new sample anyway it's free to ask. So can you please kindly provide us with a new sample so we can continue our testing.

 

PS: btw all three sampls failed the crash test.

PS2: Some screws may be missing.

 

Kind Regards

Christian Ney

[AndreYang]

no pot? fail

[Christian Ney]

Pot is not far

 

But useless you can't overclock this ROG laptop

[sin0822]

You should also be thorough and do splash tests to see if they are water resistant, maybe a quick drop in a pool. As well as EMI tests where you MRI the laptop. You should also consider Ln2 testing where you submerge the laptop in a bucket of LN2 and then bring it out and let it rest for 30minutes and test it to see if it functions.

[Christian Ney]

tried the LN2 part with my iphone, he didn't like and the screenglass broke

[BenchZowner]

Nice one or two... or three

[sin0822]

nice haha, so sad well now to test the LCD on the laptop, can it take extreme cold?

[knopflerbruce]

Heeeey, either i got this meme wrong or you abused "good guy greg"! This sounds more like insanity wolf:D C'mon man!

[Turrican]

[Leeghoofd]

[Massman]

This is a Hendle:

Not sure how to 'hendle with care' though.

Christian Ney's 4 steps of review procedure

 

1. Always deliver hardware to him via Personal Express

 

 

2. ALWAYS deliver Mainboards in right position or he might RMA it due to not finding socket and RAM-slots on the first look (crash test included).

 

 

3. Be aware you will get back the samples broken ^^

 

 

4. Chances of a bad day after recieving back your sample(s) are high - so make sure to have an umbrella with you that day

@ Asus, for my defense my boss said yes to do so.
