UPDATE: The ASUS Laptop Class Action Settlement was granted final approval on June 22, 2020. Let Top Class Actions know when you receive a check in the comments section below or on our Facebook page.
A settlement worth $12 million has been reached to settle claims that ASUS laptops are equipped with defective batteries.
The settlement benefits consumers who purchased an ASUS Rog Strix GL502VS or GL502VSK laptop between May 4, 2014 and Nov. 19, 2019.
Plaintiff Joseph Carlotti filed his ASUS class action lawsuit in May 2018, alleging that laptops manufactured by the company were equipped with a faulty battery that caused power problems and overheating issues.
Carlotti reportedly experienced the defect after purchasing his laptop for a two month trip abroad. During that time, he allegedly felt heat emanating from the laptop and experienced poor graphics. Even after repairs and replacement, Carlotti says he continued to experience the defect which rendered the laptops inoperable.
The ASUS class action lawsuit claimed that the defective battery results in several consequences such as battery draining even when the laptop is plugged in, performance issues while on low battery, and degradation of the battery.
In mid-2019, ASUS agreed to a $11.9 million settlement to resolve the claims against them. The company did not admit any wrongdoing by settling the ASUS class action lawsuit.
Under the settlement, Class Members can receive either a cash payment of up to $110 or an ASUS credit certificate worth up to $210.
The settlement also establishes an extended warranty for ASUS Rog Strix GL502VS laptops. More details regarding the extended warranty are available in the “Potential Award” section below.
In order to benefit from the settlement, Class Members need to file a valid Claim Form by April 3, 2020. The deadline for exclusion and objection is also April 3, 2020. The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for April 30, 2020.

I don’t have this laptop model but had issues with the x555la. Seems to be an issue across the board. The battery never lasted and always had to keep it plugged in. Flicked when not plugged in. I would never purchase an Asus again.
