What are your thoughts on Acer laptops?

NCCindy · 36-40, F
They're probably one of the best 2nd tier laptop makers.

I tend to be partial to Lenovo ones. Unless you need the latest, top of the line model, I've done real well with refurbished off lease Lenovo laptops. I'm writing this on a Lenovo T420 that I've had for several years.

@Stereoguy Other tidbit on Toshiba laptops ... For a while, we shared a building with some folks working for Toshiba. The Toshiba employees were issued Lenovo laptops ... I guess they don't believe on eating their own cooking.

@NCCindy still way better than Acer...then again a computer made of micro-shaped dried dung could be too.

i have one. it’s ok. lots of hiccups with it like it just decides to shut down randomly. we had it have it serviced for some other reason too. i’ve owned many laptops and never had those kind of issues. i would get a mac if i got a new laptop but my hubby bought this one as a gift...

Owned one. It was not a computer. Died too soon. Never will buy another.

Dell, HP, are great. I now own an Asus Gaming Laptop, I love it.

@mrmoose correct Sir, they are flaming trash. Best brands to get currently are Lenovo and Asus.

@th3r0n if i could afford another brand i'd get it in a heart beat, acer cusomer care is a joke
th3r0n · 41-45, M
@mrmoose Asus is often no more expensive

Acer is good, but so is Lenovo. It is the specs of a particular laptop that matters more than the brand.

They started as very low end and unreliable. I don't know about the current models.

Pretty durable and great performance for cheap price ( don't forget to check your warranty)
th3r0n · 41-45, M
@Prisoner69 I’m a computer technician and have worked on computers since dad taught me to in the early 90s, and Acer is about as desirable as a shit stain on white underwear. Anyone who thinks they’re good at all needs serious education, though they’re not as bad as they were.
DDonde · 31-35, M
I don't really know much about them. I'd favor them over Lenovo, at least.
th3r0n · 41-45, M
@DDonde if you say so pal, I worked for a company that sold computers and charged $40 to get rid of preinstalled Bullshit (malware) and run updates. There’s always Bullshit on new computers.

@th3r0n Superfish rendered all HTTPS useless on the machine. That's insanity. Edit: And all that so they could inject ads on encrypted pages!!

@DDonde doesn’t surprise me

@Stereoguy a lot of times a virus may corrupt the hard drive partitioning but deleting partitions and creating new usually fixes it
