Acer laptops - GoFuckYourself.com

I want to grab a cheap laptop for the wife, just for basic html, blog postings and surfing, nothing too heavy.

Been looking at the ACER ASP9300 Series cause it's got a 17 inch screen, any one got one?
Happy with it, can it run all day without heat probs. etc.

I use one every day. Its a good cheap workhorse. Had it for a year with no probs.

Acer screens looks not so good. Sony x-black is fantastic

Never works on Acer but I think they are good laptops!

acers are fine, too bad they a have a *** design

DVTimes · 03-23-2007, 05:27 AM

why not opt for a dell. they seem cheap, but seem to last for years.

VicD · 03-23-2007, 05:28 AM

Sony's are twice the cost, she doesn't do any design work, so for surfing should be o.k

It's for the wife, I don't care what it looks like. hehe.
If she wants something pretty she can buy it herself.

There's a deal on the Acer ones, and a dell with a 17 inch screen is $300 more

Light work.. it is like a Kia...

It isn't as reliable as a Toyota but then you don't expect to drop it do you?

nekrom · 03-23-2007, 05:58 AM

I bought an Acer Aspire with Vista a few months back. Works quiet well for daily usage and/or as a travel notebook.

But Sony vaio laptop is not the best to work at.... Acer is much better.

lorine · 03-26-2007, 12:48 AM

I`m not sure if Acer is the best laptop solution,what about other brands,like HP ?

Bdiddy · 03-26-2007, 01:39 AM

I've had mine for 8 months and a few months back the motherboard died, but Acer fixed it ASAP and gave me a loaner with no hassle.

All this occured in the Philippines and I bought mine in the states.

Other than that I love mine.

96ukssob · 03-26-2007, 01:44 AM

personally i would stay away. my boss bought 2 of them and both (little more than "average" use) died within 3 months.

I would go with a dell, they seem to have a better line of laptops and their warranty is really good

darling2 · 03-26-2007, 04:35 AM

Been a happy acer owner for 4 years.

My last one had a 3 year warranty and they replaced everything inside it for free when it melted just before the warranty expired.

ServerGenius · 03-26-2007, 05:08 AM

I bought an Acer Ferrari 1000. I'm more than impressed with it but it didn't
come too cheap. It's the top of the range Acer model at the moment.

Corleone · 03-26-2007, 05:27 AM

my acer rocks.. wasnt too cheap either.. but worth every $

ffmihai · 03-26-2007, 05:36 AM

hmm nice to know. i used to have a bad opinion about Acer

Theo · 03-26-2007, 05:39 AM

v4 media · 03-26-2007, 05:50 AM

It's only for the wife, I got it last Friday,
