Could Asus be the next big name in computers?

Last week, I was shopping around for a laptop at a local Best Buy, and when I asked someone for help picking out a computer, I mentioned that I needed something that I could play MMOs like World of Warcraft on, and so he pointed me to this computer that was super cheap. It was an Asus, and off brand that supposedly was a huge hit outside of America. Well, as he was explaining that to me, some guy with a bunch of kids goes up and says "That's not gonna be an off brand for long, it's going to crush Dell, HP, and everyone else!" So, that got me curious. The pricetag was already low for the particular laptop that I was looking at, at $699.99, but just having that happen to me has me curious. What is it about these computers that make them so popular with the people who buy them? Well, I'm eventually going to buy it when I save up the money for it, and by then it will probably be on sale. But yeah, the point of this article is simple, if you're an investor or in the market for a computer, take a look at an Asus computer, it could be the next big thing.
