A-sus
Any other pronounciation for ASUS is just wrong.

Ay-soos is how the computer stores here pronounce it.
Car dealerships also say Soo-BAR-ooo for cars so I don't know.

I've always said
Ay - Sus
Where the "Ay" part is as in "sAY" and the "Sus" part is as in "SUSpicious"
The Currys/PC World adds really annoy me...
"Check out this Ar-soose laptop... it's got a 4 Gig memory!"

"A-sus!" or "Something infinitely better than the **** dell call hardware!"
Does it really matter? it reminds me of Keeping up Appearances where Mrs Bucket tells everyone her name is pronounced same as "Bouquet", I also used to know a guy whose surname was "Onion" who got infuriated and told every one that it was pronounced "O-ny-on".
At the end of the day there is no right or wrong, Asus may prefer "Ay-suss" (which sounds daft to me) but people will call them whatever sounds right to them and for me there is no 'y' in Asus and only one 's' on the end.
