I bought an Acer laptop a while ago, then I found out the support they sold me was through a third party that had terrible customer service and they never upgraded the drivers after shipping, which made the laptop useless a couple of years down the line.

I learnt my lesson though, never by from Acer.

From what I've heard, Acer's support is nothing to brag about either.

I never owned one myself, but I've heard complaints about their laptops from several people regarding reliability/longevity.

At the last company I worked at, we had two beamers made Acer, both broke within six weeks, we sent them in for repair, when they came back, one of them still didn't work.
