I like Acers as well Roland00 Send a noteboard - 30/09/2010 09:38:15 PM
Some Acers are nice, some are not. The are cheap and offer a good bang for your buck compared to an HP or Dell. In my opinion their desktops are better built than Dell, and while their laptops are not as reliable as some other brands they are definitely an innovative company when it comes to laptops with trying out new ideas and form factors.

That said Acer support is horrid (just like Dell) and Acer relies you will go to an Acer authorized repair center where you will get much better customer service than dealing with Acer directly. A good amount of the time unlike the other major oems if you use an Acer repair center they rather pay the repair center to get the person a new laptop/desktop rather than paying for repairs. While this may be good for a customer, it can really piss off the Acer authorized repair center for they make more money repairing a computer and having Acer foot the bill if it is under manufacture warranty vs giving the customer a store credit to get a new laptop/desktop.

HP support on the other hand is one of the highest rated in the industry.

What do you do with your computer? Desktop or Laptop? *NM* Roland00 - 28/09/2010 11:18:57 PM 174 Views
Desktop. I have network access storage for work files so I don't ever use laptops. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:25:15 AM 386 Views
Okay, now what will you use the desktop for? Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:49:15 AM 396 Views

You might like a Sony BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 11:43:56 PM 415 Views
Sony machines, especially their laptops, are vastly overpriced in my opinion. Morgawse - 28/09/2010 11:55:13 PM 378 Views
If you're looking purely at specs, yes that's true BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 04:36:52 AM 378 Views
I'm fairly sure that Sony no longer makes normal "desktops" Brian - 29/09/2010 12:58:00 AM 408 Views
Correct Roland00 - 29/09/2010 01:52:17 AM 385 Views
That's what I thought. Brian - 29/09/2010 02:54:20 AM 433 Views
hmm, alright then BlackAdder - 29/09/2010 02:37:59 AM 391 Views

Did the bad computer lick your apples? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:23:00 AM 164 Views
No, that would be a bad thing. nossy - 29/09/2010 01:34:59 AM 377 Views

Dell sucks more dick than a gay boy at his first Pride event. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:21:06 AM 392 Views
I liked your "like a gay for pay frat boy" euphemism better. Tom - 29/09/2010 01:28:13 AM 387 Views
Well, they can't all be hits and I try not to recycle material too often. LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 01:31:37 AM 366 Views

I heard the opposite. They respond quickly and effectively. *NM* Gher - 29/09/2010 03:36:03 PM 161 Views
No customer ever complains twice, eh? *NM* LiterateDog - 29/09/2010 03:36:52 PM 156 Views
