Lack of information about origins and status as a motherboard manufacturer

The article as it stands now contains very little information about the company's origins as a major motherboard manufacturer, and the fact that it has been, and continues to be the leading motherboard manufacturer in the world, having manufactured motherboard for numerous top OEMs for many years, with a reputation well ahead of any other company. The article seems to focus on end-user devices such as PCs, which are a relatively recent addition in a historical perspective, and various recent gadgets, many with negligable sales.

Outside of an old anecdote about the early relationship with Intel, from reading the article an uninformed reader would not come to the conclusion that Asus is a significant motherboard manufacturer or brand and has been the leading motherboard manufacturer and brand in the world for a very long time.

Other things that should be mentioned is Asus's history as a manufacturer video cards (since Asus has also been just about the leading video card manufacturer in the world for some time). The history of the budget brand Asrock could be also mentioned. Calamites (talk) 21:17, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
