Hot on the heels of last week's announcement that Intel would end their NUC line, Intel and ASUS have struck a non-exclusive deal that will see ASUS assume manufacturing, sales, and support of 10th to 13th Gen NUCs. ASUS will also be able to develop future NUC designs; all under a new business unit called ASUS NUC BU.

Yay! Too bad they're going to suck and likely to be not worth buying.

ASUS has massive QC issues and nonexistent support these days. They've been riding the coattails of their gaming heyday and can't build anything worth a shit, and then when it's a problem, refuses to admit they fucked up. Jayz talks about it best

Intel just punted the ball so it's not their problem anymore. Do NOT fucking buy these.

I remember having an ASUS board for about 6 months back in the mid 2000’s before it blew up. Talked to some people back then and it was a relatively common experience. I’m not sure how ASUS has been doing well as a company for the past 20 years, when it seems like all their stuff blows up.

I’ve been MSI all the way since then and it’s worked out swimmingly.

They had a period of about 6 years starting around the Intel Ivy Bridge era where they actually made some really nice stuff. People started recognizing them as quality, but it's like they put that effort in, saw results, and then went back into coast mode.
