Asus FX504
Wear and Tear
Owned for 4.5 years, used Daily
Stress Points- Three main things, and all of them happened after 2+1 years of warranty. If you have a lower end Asus laptop, google Asus laptops model name + (touchpad), (hinge) and you can find countless other examples.
1. Touchpad surface started to tear off. I use my mouse way, more than my mouse, and I don't really have sweaty hands, yet It still started to tear off. The reason It looks really bad on my picture is because It started to tear off in the middle of the night and It just felt like I was scraping a coffee stain.
2. Screen hinge mounting points break after a while if you don't catch it happening early and take it to a repair shop or fix it yourself. If you see gap appearing near your laptops hinge, you can follow this tutorial to fix it yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-96mwcEbdJQ
3. Purple blobs started to appear on the screen. Now this one is more down to luck, apparently in cheaper LCD's, these manufacturing defects can start to appear years after you buy the screen. I was just unlucky that they appeared after my warranty period ended. 
Positive Remarks- - It was the best laptop I could get for its price.
- I bought the 8GB ram + 1TB HDD version and upgraded it to 16GB ram and 500gb SSD + 1TB HDD later.
- Everything that broke so far can be avoided if you know that they'll break, or can be repaired by someone with only a small phillips screwdriver. - Price Paid
- $850
- Cost per Month
- $15.74
- Would you buy it again?
Yes

The purple blobs should be some stuck pixels. Google how to recover stuck pixels and you'll get some webpage or an app with some noisy/fuzzy image switching colours really fast. Your pixels should be fixed in about 10 to 30 minutes of this. If it keeps happening, repeat the process. If a pixel is black though, it's probably dead. Try above process but I can't promise anything. Good luck!
