is an acer laptop worth buying?
I have done some more research and would defiitely advise you NOT to buy ACER. The PC magazine user surveys give an A rating to Fujitsu, Apple and IBM and B to Dell. Acer have moved up from e to d. In my own case they have not repaired my laptop because they claimed Accidental Damage. I brought in an independent engineer from MasterCare who examined it and agreed that the fault was not accidental damage. Indeed, they have repaired other ACERs with this problem. My insurance company examined the ACER and decided to supply me with a new Fujitsu on the grounds that this would be a more cost effective solution than repairing an ACER of dubious quality. Eddi Wrote: I have real doubts about Acer Laptops. Like another reply my Acer power socket fell off after less than 10 months from new. The laptop was not damaged and was kept protected in laptop holder, not a mark on the whole machine.) Acer UK are quoting nearly £400 to repair. I think I'll spend the money on another laptop, Acer are not very well made!! -- Eddi |

is an acer laptop worth buying?
I purchased a Acer two Sundays ago. The next day, I returned to the
store becasue the battery failed to charge. It was replaced. Then the next day, I returned again becasue the Laptop just would not start. I exchanged it to another Acer, which is a mistake. It only lasted 3 days and again would not start. Nothing happens when I pressed the power button, not even attemp to boot. I finally exchange it to a IBM, and ended up paying a lot more. I was lucky it failed so fast. Also, I learnt a mistake not to buy expensive electronics from small shop without a good refund policy. |

You are correct about they both assembled in China, but one can feel
the difference in quality. It has been over 2 weeks now, and I have no problem with the IBM. |
