![]() In the old days I used to be VP of engineering for Magitronic and had a lot of dealings with ACER. ![]() The problem is that, especially with laptops, by the time sufficient feedback about how well a specific model ages is available, that model is going to be outdated. Ps: but as I said, it seems that with every new generation of products, they keep getting better, so I wouldn't write them off completely. This is why Acer doesn't have a very good reputation. ![]() Annoying.Īlso, it's recently begun to show some display errors like this one: However, no things Acer ever are perfect, it seems, as the notebook sometimes freezes when playing sound (be it youtube or mp3 through media player), which is a rather odd behaviour. So all in all it was a nice laptop for the price (though the CPU was a very bad one even for 5 years ago), and i'm happy that it still works 5 years later but as you can see it was not without flaws and I would not have bought this product if I had known its flaws.Īs for the 2920Z, which is a more recent model, it makes it apparent to me that Acer have come a long way since and it's a really nice little notebook. A little bit better now, but it's still undercooled. touchpad used to get REALLY hot with the old hard drive. the plastic is cheap and under the left wrist, the paint is gone. Didnt send it in because i knew it would take ages and i didnt really care. Tried new drivers, everything, nothing helped. Data rate seems lower than it should, so that when watching dvds the audio is not coming through properly. Which might make the laptop impossible to carry. The backside of the monitor began to develop cracks after mere weeks, and now 5 years later the plastic on one of the hinges has completely broken away (over the aprt of the hing at the back of the monitor), the hinge is not turning properly and while everything is still in working order I expect this to break soonish. My Aspire 3023wlmi is about 5 years old now and it has the following flaws: However, their stuff is not really meant to last. Also, the design of their products is really improving and sometimes they look better than pricier brands. On the one hand their products are cheap and often have well balanced specifications. I own an Aspire 3023 wlmi and my girlfriend has an Aspire 2920z. If i was going to get a laptop i'd go with a toshiba, only because my sister has one thats four years old and its taken a beating that no laptop should have to take and still works. I hope this helps in your decision, sorry i couldn't comment on the laptop itself. ![]() So their stuff might be good but once you start having problems, good luck on getting it resolved. Tried dealing with ti again and they wanted me to ship it in again again at my own cost, it was 12 bucks the first time around i wasn't about to spend the money again and waste my time.Īlso you have to keep replying to your inquire even if you get no response as they automatically close all tickets after 7 days. i guess taking 5 mins to get the monitor turned on to the point to being able to use is not a problem as far as they are concerned. ![]() got the monitor back two weeks later with a hand written note stating they could not find anything wrong with the monitor. I finally got authorization to ship it to their repair center, of course at my own expense. in fact i am not sure how drivers on my pc would effect the monitor when not connected to the pc per their instructions but they seem to think it does.Īfter way too much blame on everything under the sun except for their monitor, even suggesting the power coming into the house was not sufficient to handle the monitor. Personally i stay away from anything acer, i can't comment on their laptops but i had a monitor that was bad or going bad. ![]()
