Asus just apologized for its outrageous repair costs and RMA process
Asus says it's now "working diligently" to make improvements, following reports of sky-high repair bills and unreasonable charges.

Intel NUCs go to Asus for repair now. I had to send one in after it died.
- The device was not listing as valid serial numbers and such so had to go to support and have them manually create the RMA case after they couldn't do it
- the initial RMA emails were instructions with different instructions in the email, PDF, and a webpage. It was the most difficult one I had to follow yet.
- they didn't send me a delivery slip until Monday evening, RMA started on Thursday evening. Support person didn't explain that it would take multiple business days. Funny enough my device was already there before I got the prepaid one.
- they couldn't find it for 4 weeks, I had to call in like 4 or 5 times for them to finally find it
Everything makes sense now.
Guessing Intel contracted out their warranty to Asus, who were willing to do it for the least $$ (since Asus probably knows their administration of the program wouldn't cost much with all their denials)?
Intel sold the entire NUC brand to them and I think a stipulation of the deal was they inherit the manufacturer warranty of the brand for Intel's models too.
Ah, okay. I appreciate the fact check.

Ah, I had that happen with my monitor from them, too. It took a lot of doing just to get the case created.
Fuck I just sent a dead NUC back for warranty which when I realised they've been taken over by ASUS. It's for a client too.. let's see what transpires..
