Acer have always sold utter barrel scraping dog shit machines with worthless warranty made of the lowest bidding vendor's parts. I'm surprised anyone even looks in that direction these days. In fact I'm surprised they are even still going. And as for this, I am also not even surprised if it's happening.
If you're after a new laptop, buy Apple or a business grade unit from Lenovo (T/X/P series). If you can't afford that or don't want to afford it, buy a 2-3 year old machine from a larger refurbisher from the same list. If you shop around you can pick up a previous gen machine with 3 years next business day warranty on it sealed new for less than half current retail proce. I got a ryzen T495 for 500 GBP here with 3 years NBD on it.
- arp242 5y agoI bought a second-hand E585 for €500 last year; works like a charm. The 15" isn't what I would have chosen myself (I previously had an X270 that unfortunately broke after a fall), but it works well enough. If you're not looking for latest cutting-edge performance then you're usually better off buying a second-hand ThinkPad if available in your area.
