The Beijing Times is report on a shocking court case necessitate Asus and a young female customer name Huang Jing . It all started back in 2006 when Huang purchase a V6800V model ASUS laptop from a Beijing retailer and apace discovered it to be defective . She sent the computer back to Asus several time for mend , but the trouble hang on . Upon further examen , one of the replacement central processing unit used to “ fix ” the computer was really an Intel “ technology sample ” and therefore unlawful to sell . Now here is where things get really crazy . At that period , it appears that Huang got herself a attorney and demanded that Asus pay the combining weight of $ 5 million US dollars in recompense . If they did not comply , she threatened to dampen the newsworthiness of their shady financial backing practices to the medium . In March of 2006 , Asus had both Huang and her lawyer pick up for extortion . Nearly a year later , she was release after the top executive - that - be determined that the evidence against her was inadequate . Now , Huang is suing Asus again — this clock time for calumny , selling defect products and false accusation . She has even set up a website detailing Asus ’ offenses against their customers . It certainly appears that both parties are not free from inculpation here , so I highly doubt that she will be successful with the case . Either elbow room , the whole situation is pretty frightning . [ DanweiviaBoing Boing GadgetsandAsus315 ]
