Well, the most recent Acer hardware I have come in contact with are their 52X - CD-Rom's... A friend I have come to know recently, had just bought three of the drives brand new. One for for himself, his family, and his girlfriend. And within about three months, (in computers that are barely used) the drives would randomly spin up and rattle, for minutes at a time. And if there was a cd in the drive, anything you were trying to do took far longer than it should take, because during the process, it would stop and then try to start again, making a reving sound. Rev ... pause... rev... pause... One of the drives even would randomly open one inch completely by it self.
Apart from that, I have a friend who once bought an Acer from Best Buy, and the thing was nothing but problems the entire time he had it. And he was very computer-competent.
Those are my experiences with the company... So yea, maybe Acer makes a good item once in a while, its pretty hard not to, but at least with the experiences I've had, I'm staying away from them. shrug
