i intend to keep this thread bumped and fresh , just for the hope of saving a people the hell that is a ACER computer after sales customer care .
i' ve got the will to do it and want pay back for the 10 weeks of crap they have put me through.

DO NOT BUY A ACER PRODUCT ! unless you want appalling customer service when it goes wrong.

    What makes me laugh is that there's only actually a handful of laptop manufacturers anyway and lots of stuff is badged as appropriate. For example, Gericom, Clevo and Advent are the same kit.

    Another thumbs-up for Acer here. We have a number of laptops from them at work and they are great, especially battery life.
  • I have an Acer laptop and a monitor, no problems at all.
    Both were good value for money.
