Hi Dale,
I bought Bobbi an Acer laptop last christmas (not the model you are looking at) she has not had a single issue with it.

Which one did you buy..Alina and myself bought her brother one with a 15in. screen last year for $600.00 new, It was discontinued in manufacturing, was a clearance price but we started it up before we gave it to him and the crystal clear HD screen was simply amazing.

Re: Acer
Hi Dale,
I bought her this one (or one very similar) the screen is better than my Fujitsu by a wide margin. She has been very happy with it, and the price was very good although I think it's dropped since I bought.

Re: Acer
I bought the aspire5004WLMI a couple years back, and have never had an issue. It was the cheapest I paid for a laptop and I took a chance, been the best one yet. I will probably buy acer again next time. $550.00

Re: Acer
Dale,
I purchased my "first" laptop about two years ago...Acer Aspire 3618 w/15.4" widescreen...Circuit City...$449.00 after rebate.... As this was my first laptop, I was looking for a cheapy that would last me about a year, to get a feel for one. Planned on upgrading to better if I liked it....well...I love it...have only had very minor issues...probably my fault thought. And yes...the 15.4" Crystal Brite Widescreen is AWESOME! This turned out to not be a cheapy at all...in fact I use it to replace my desktop when it went belly-up. Instead of replacing the Acer, I have been performing upgrades to it. I will definately purchase Acer again! (PS...battery life sucks...my only real complaint)!  "You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus"...Mark Twain Jeffrey R.

Re: Acer
First computer I ever owned was an Acer, not a laptop but a desktop. It was a great computer for its time and never even burped once. Started with DOS and upgraded it to Win 3.1 but eventuallyd replace it when it could not be upgraded anymore. In those days it was easy to do your own upgrades....not anymore for me...take it to the shop or buy a new one.

Re: Acer
Depends on what you're using it for. If it's just for running inspection software, it's plenty. If you're trying to play Warcraft you're going to have issues.
Acer isn't a bad brand. The bright screens are a personal preference, some people love them, some don't. That's why you have an option. Home Inspector Pro Inspection Software - Easy to use, extremely customizable Home Inspector Software that runs on Windows or Mac.
