Acer Computers Wo rst..Still wo rst their Technical Support, page-9

I have had Acer PCs in the past and they have performed very well

I also have a HP laptop now about 6 years old which has also been a good one

I do all my own repairs when required and as with all manufactured items you must remember that what was perfect 3 years ago probably came from a different factory than the one you buy today as all manufacturers indulge in Badge Branding
It may have the same name but where it comes from no-one knows
