"Poor to non existent Technical support. System Lock issues" on by Fred Gman
Pros: Low Price nice screen
Cons: Poor Technical Support
Summary: After 3 weeks of uneventful use system started to lock up each time I tried to start. Technical support number provided in manual was not available on weekends or after 6 pm. E-mail tech support took 3 days to reply on multiple instances. Still do not have computer working after 4 weeks, now waiting for system disks to try a total reformat and reinstallation. Low price does not make up for hours I have spent trying to get computer to work.

"dissapointing" on by mlbfan
Pros: lasted one year
Cons: poor mother board design
Summary: Very upset with this door stopper. Spent $629 for one year of service. During its' operating life it seemed okay but it died a fast death after one year. Symptoms indicated blue screen of death with a message that stated new hardware was causing an error. Of course there wasn't any new hardware. After repeated tries to restore the hard drive, it just completely shut down. No blue screen, just fan noise. Never to start again. It is now in pieces in an effort to find a used mother board.

"It's like finding out your wife was the highschool doorknob" on by tlebrell
Pros: Doesn't leak oil
Cons: Like buying a penny for ten bucks
Summary: When you see all of the reviews saying "Great laptop", or "Super Buy!", they were probably written a few days after it was purchased (still working). Just give this jewel a little more time - she'll show her true colors. Ask her folks for help, and they just laugh at the fact that she's under your roof now, not theirs, but for 450 bucks, they'll do what they can. Acer, roughly translated, is a verb meaning "to put perfume on a turd", as in "she looked good from a distance, but closer inspection revealed that she was all Acer'ed up".
