QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Aug 6 2011, 08:49 PM) We cannot generalize here because it varies from model to model... And its applicable to all other brands as well for example acer timeline has non user replacable battery which is a really crap decision..worst decision any one could take...it is simply untolerable  |

QUOTE(rohit12 @ Aug 6 2011, 07:55 PM) i think acer has worst build quality and worst screen.. also brightness and contrast of that glossy mirror acer uses is very low standard..keyboard by acer has lot of flex ..the touch pad used by acer is very laggy and slow.. My acer laptop display still is ok-ish,but viewing angles are quite low. If normal keyboard typing,io cant feel the flex,only when u press down then can feel. My touchpad works fine lerh,no lag. Mayb urs not tat gud. Acer so cheap,of course nid cut corners to compensate for cheap price |
