Acer Aspire 8930-6448 review

Acer includes a standard, one-year, parts-and-labor warranty with the system. The technical support phone lines are open 27-7, but the number is well-hidden (it's 1-800-816-2237). For one of the largest PC makers in the world, Acer has a confusing set of overlapping support Web sites, full of broken links and dead ends; though we were able to find basic driver and manual downloads.
