Acer & ASUS

I was wondering how good are these two companies because I might decide to purchase a laptop from them. However I heard that Acer laptops crap out a lot and real fast is that true?

acer laptops for the majority of them are budget laptops with sub par build quality, but alas they are cheap

asus laptops are hit or miss ive heard, but most are extremely solid and a great buy

Asus and Acer build reliable, functional laptops that do their job. They lack the design and polish of notebooks from other OEMs, and will certianly not turn any heads or win any design awards. You can definitely tell their laptops were designed by Taiwanese electrical engineers. Even the Acer Ferrari series, the "super high-end ultra stylish Acer notebook".... looks like it was designed by a Taiwanese electrical engineer.

You save a few dollars by going with Acer/Asus, and you'll certainly have a great laptop. But you might run into problems when it comes to buying accessories (extra batteries, chargers, etc), or if you ever need service / support on your laptop in the US.

Acer laptops are large pieces of ****. The screens are garbage. The batteries suck balls.

However, they are cheap.
