So much for the famed Asus ……… can’t even hold on to it number 2 ranking ……… now thats a real huh!!!!!!

Well I have owned 2 Acers over the years and yes I run a company which assembles machines including the best gaming desktops. So, I know little bit about hardware maybe not as much as Huh! here. Acers are solid laptops and their pricing is aggressive. All laptops are made by one of the few companies in Taiwan like Compal and Quanta computers, why the hell would you want to pay more for a brand logo?

For Huh!’s information Acer is presently the world leader in laptop sales, HP is the leader in overall computer sales. If their products were so bad then would so many people be using them? I think my friend you have used too many of those overpriced gimicky laptops without really thinking why you are paying so much for nothing.

My first Acer Travelmate, your so called value brand product lasted 5 years and still going strong. I have travelled all over the world with it, no problems, zero nada. My extremely overpriced Dell XPS 13.3″ crashed in 2 months (I still own a latitude d420) and the asus brand you are so excited about .. well the EEPC froze up for one my friends in 2 weeks. He changed it to get an HP 311.

Don’t trash any company and generalize them without knowing the whole story. There is a reason why big companies become big. Acer/Dell/HP/Lenovo/Toshiba all have their pros and cons. But don’t generalize.

This post has a good point. I don’t like the Acer netbooks much at all. But they’re so simple. You just go and buy one in a pretty color, and that’s it.

Also, they have great distribution. I got in Best Buy, I go in Office Max, Staples, Fry’s, and what do I see? Acers. Acers everywhere.

Asus is a god among computer hardware manufacturers, frolicking in silicon valley with the likes of Intel, ATI, Corsair, nVidia, etc…, and makes a rock solid product (Asus mainboards are arguably the best when it comes to desktop builds).

Acer can afford to sell their trash for nothing, since it isn’t worth the cardboard box it comes in, and the know-nothing masses of idiots (like yourself, as far as I can tell from your article) gobble it up.

Show me one person who knows anything about computer hardware that owns an Acer product and swears by it, and I will show you someone who is either too embarrassed to admit they f’ed up, or someone who has seriously overestimated their computer hardware knowledge.

EMS is currently conducting a research study on netbooks, if you are a neetbook owner or intend to buy one, please call 0208 996 0498 and ask for Jackie.

The participants will be paid up to £100.00 as a thank you for their time.
The study will take place in Chiswick Studios.

Good Luck

Jacqueline
