ACER was until recently one of the world's largest computer
manufacturers. They had a reputation for building good value
computers.
A few years ago Acer shifted from being a manufacturer to a
designer, marketer and distributor of products.
These days all Acer production is carried out by contract
manufacturers. Mostly in China and the far east.
Acer also own Gateway Computers, E-Machines, and
Packard-Bell.
Acer Laptops are well designed, and reasonably priced - and
are worthy of a place in the top ten 10 laptops.
but there is a question-mark over their long-term reliability.
We like Acer Laptops - but we advise prospective buyers to
consider other brands if they use their laptops a lot.
Acer laptops are not reliable long-term under hard use.
For light home use, student use, etc they are terrific - but for
business use, or if you are on your laptop all day - choose
another brand.
