read up in hello peter and you will see they need to look at their customer care department first. Lot of complaints

I did a quick search on hello peter for "acer" and it returned 150 records. Did the same for "Dell" 164 records and then "HP" 447 records.

Now I know its a bit unfair towards HP because they have lots of other hardware as well, but so do Acer. I also think Dell and HP is a classic case of the highest trees getting the most wind.

All I'm trying to say is hello peter is not a good benchmark. Even HelloPeter.com has come under fire.

My personal experience with Acer is not to bad:My uncles notebook got broken he called the service department they picked it up and returned it the next day.

Cool, I'm thinking of getting an Acer Travelmate (below). Just comparing different brands of notebooks against each other, price and spec wise before making a decision.

Acer may be cheap initially but wait till you need a new Battery or AC Adaptor and you will die of fright from the price.

I dont mind Acer... but the local support is crap.

Not gonna get the Acer TravelMate 5624WSMi_VB anymore. Gonna find a notebook with a little more oomph in the graphics card department
