I personal experiences with Acer products ranks right up there with HP. a few bad and 2 good. Personally I don't generally recommend them just because of their cheap feel compared to others. Sister has the Acer netbook (I don't know the model right off the top of my head), and she has had no issues that was not fixed by replacing the RAM. Used a Aspire 5552 which was complete junk. Keyboard keys refuse to stay attached, and the overall design is just garbage. Feels like a cheap toy rather than a computer. The one before that was the same series, but with a i3/gt540m. It was crap too. GPU died within weeks. Sent it in to be fixed, which they did, and the problem rerepresented again within a week. So gave up on that one. Had a m6750, which is just a acer with a Gateway sticker, and it worked brilliantly for over a year. Only quelm I had with it was the ridiculously small resolution.
But Like I said, I don't recommend them because they feel cheap. That is more of a build quality issue (in my eyes), than a issue with the parts inside it.
