Re: Laptop ACER inquiry in Road Warriors, Notebooks & Distance http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20444352 en Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:04:25 EDT Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:04:25 EDT Re: Laptop ACER inquiry http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20448894 PeteC2 : As long as it has been treated well, and the price is right...My only concern? Do beware, the "list" price in that link is misleading (too damn high!) This is no $1400 notebook. These are the features of a $600 - $800 notebook at today's prices/configuations.

It is not the lightest 12.1" screen model out there, but it is not an un-pleasing design, and as long as you don't need an uber-power-notebook I think it should serve just fine.

At this point in time, I think Acer really has a pretty good grip on designing and marketing quality budget range notebooks. If I was going for a high end laptop, I likely would not be thinking "Acer", but at the very competitive budget end, not bad at all.

They are the only company that I know of that if you call in about your laptop they will put you on hold and go get that exact model off a shelf and walk you though any issues or problems.

They also recently purchased Gateway last year and are the #1 computer maker in Asia :)

Kudos to Acer imho, just make sure you get the extended care warranty and don't use the laptop as a kickstand.

Only lasts an hour. But i got it for $400 on black friday.
400 bucks ain't bad for a pc overall...

I have an Aspire 5672wlmi that I reviewed in 2006 - »Acer Aspire 5672wmli review *56k warning*

Good overall info on the model's etc.
I got one and a friend got one on black friday. Both are used all the time. Neither one of ours have had any issues. My family owns 2 other acer laptops and an acer desktop. All without problems. Acer treats us well.

Not once has that laptop screwed up or anything. Running very smooth. Only issue i have with it is that the battery sucks. I think it's only 2 cell or something. Only lasts an hour. But i got it for $400 on black friday.

That will at least give you an idea of any possible issues. Just keep in mind that a majority of users that feel the need to review hardware, do so because they had issues.

Aside from that, Acer is a decent brand.
