I bought a Acer Aspire. The laptop works quite well. I am happy with the keyboard and layout. I would even say I grew quite fond of the laptop.

My issue is only one small but insurmountable niggle. The jack for the power on the laptop became loose and wiggly. This happened about 3 months out of warranty. I reported it and very helpfully and professionally acer paid for postage and repaired the fault. Well sort of the repair job was not very good, which I reported and only a few short months later I was unable to charge the laptop at all.............leaving it useless. I reported it and acer repair asked me to send it in. Their report was that the fault is a major reapir and I would need to pay for it. The cost of repair being very close to the cost of a new laptop. I disputed this and lost.
So I am now left with a useless laptop. Seems such a shame to loose me as a customer for such an issue. Seems such a waste of a laptop that it can't be used any-more. I wish companies would be less wasteful. I don't think we should all have to replace technical equipment so often.

A big venue for live acts. Good clean facilities. Make sure you have good tickets so you can see - pay your parking before the show so you dont get stuck after.

I bought an ex-demo laptop from Acer a while ago. It was great value compared to most laptops, and could rival Asus, which I would consider one of the best laptop manufacturers in the world. I'd say compared to current high end laptops, the Aspire Blue Gemstone I bought is a bit of a monster, although the other laptops these days are catching up.

Approximate cost: $1200
