There's also the zenbook tag, isn't there? (The Zenbook is made by ASUS)

Who cares about the brand? The brand is irrelevant. From the linux kernel perspective, it looks for the manufacturer of the subsystem it's talking to. Check the output of lspci and tell me how many times appears your computer brand (BTW, my system is an HP, and all the output says "Intel"...)

| Aug 30, 2016 at 3:11 | comment | added | TheWanderer | @Braiam well then that would support my point even more. But the idea is it is ASUS branded, so it might get the ASUS tag. ASUS doesn't "make" its tablets, but it does design them | |
| Aug 30, 2016 at 3:10 | comment | added | Braiam | "It also makes motherboards, tablets, phones" err... no it doesn't. It just rebrands someone else hardware, changes some specs and sells it. If you check the hw-id of many of this stuff it should return the original manufacturer. | |
