3.5 is a pretty disappointing figure, but I've owned several Acer products from monitors to net books and none have failed on me yet.

  2006: laptop, dead motherboard 2008: 2x laptop, chronic overheating 2009: Netbook, battery failed 2010: Desktop, DVD drive failing to open followed by the front falling off (wish I made that bit up).

    Well, we believed you, but that still doesn't make it more than a streak of bad luck. (The plural of anectode...)

      I can verify his experience, every one of the products I've bought from Acer, fail in a very short life span. I've the cataloged as the worst brand around.

      The plural of anecdote ... is data, right?

        The quote: Anecdotes often refer to the exception, rather than the rule: "Anecdotes are useless precisely because they may point to idiosyncratic responses."[18] Even when many anecdotes are collected to prove a point, "The plural of anecdote is not data."
