3. Can a new ASUS notebook be customized?

Almost all ASUS notebooks nowadays are Ensembles. An ASUS Ensemble comes pre-built from the factory, with a default configuration and in a sealed box, and cannot be customized. There is usually enough variation of Ensemble configurations for a particular model, to satisfy the needs of all customers. Ensemble notebooks are supported by the ASUS warranty.

The alternative to an Ensemble is a so-called barebones notebook. The last barebones model from ASUS was the C90.

Nevertheless, some resellers will take Ensemble notebooks, open them, and customize their configuration. Such notebooks are no longer supported by ASUS, but by the resellers themselves, including warranty service. The accidental warranty is also lost after customization. So, if you want to go this way, make sure you select a highly reputable reseller! For instance, you can use one of those listed in the Info Booth.

Correct, but what are we going to do with the hardware we remove from the laptop? When the laptop goes bad and we need to replace it, then who do we go to? If we would offer our own warranty, we would have to charge more and then customers would just be better off buying it from an e-tailer.

That's why we aren't planning to carry any Asus laptops. (In addition, we have had customers deal with Asus support and it wasn't so customer service orientated).
