I disagree that Acer sucks. I should know. I own an Acer Aspire 3002 NLC (running Mandrake Linux 10.1).
I once saw ants crawlling out of an acer laptop.
Oh must have had ie exploiter installed. them varmits come free with it.
As for being cheap, I don't think anybody would have a problem with that. ;)
Cheap == bad quality == not work for more than a few weeks to months...
Plus, their warranty doesnt include the screen or any external parts of the lappy. So if you scratch your screen or your keys fall off then you need to pay for getting it repaired or replaced. They only have warranty for the internal parts. I own a dell. It costed me a pretty penny and I can vouch for their build quality and after sales service :) And their warranty covers all parts - internal and external ;). They cover everything but dont protect against arson or theft.
Try getting a scratched LCD replaced from ANY vendor. Or a crashed disk / Mobo if the body is dented or cracked. The warranties cover ONLY manufacturing defects not intentional or accidental misuse or use beyond the rated capacity. Read the fine print in the warranty.
