My Acer is Fine

So has anyone used or had experience if an Acer, they seem quite well equiped for the price.

Had an Acer laptop for about 6 months. Never given me any problems. It has spent most of its life sat on my desk, so its durability hasn't really been tested.

We use these, got about 100 kicking around in the Organisation,
its normally either the hdd that goes, quick replacement, or the
screens which again quick replacement, and normally damaged because someone is too heavy handed with them.

Never buy a Sony - they change models so often it's impossible to get spares for them. Stick to a Dell for that (or a Toshiba - I just threw mine at the wall from 10ft away and it works quite happily still!!!).
