Is ASUS worth buying?
ASUS earned a buy verdict on 9 of the 15 ASUS products we compared (60%), above the 50% average across every brand on the site. 4 won their comparisons outright: ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACS, ASUS ROG Strix XG32UCWMG, ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH and ASUS RT-BE96U. 4 are an "it depends": right for a specific buyer, not for everyone. We would skip 2: Asus Chromebook CX1 (CX1500) and ASUS ZenScreen Go MB16AHP.
Verdicts synthesize independent testing and long-term owner reports; we do not run a lab and never take review units. Each product below links to the comparison it was judged in. How we review.
