12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.

I don't want to buy from Asus. I bought a Vivobook 15 from them and the motherboard went bad within a couple of months. The build quality of the laptop body was also exceptionally poor, with the keyboard becoming stick and keys falling out after only a couple of weeks and the plastic casing cracking, as well as the hinges breaking open the case completely.

13. What country do you live in?

United States

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.

If at all possible I'd like a laptop with very high build quality, maybe a metal body. Most plastic body laptops I've bought end up with cracks within a year and those cracks eventually grow big enough to cause parts of the plastic body to fall off completely. Typically around the laptop's hinges.
