Now you must relate your Acer experience so we can put your vitriol into context

Acer laptops at are on the cheap & chintzy side that's for sure.... I've only worked on a couple of their pre-builts and they were okay just boring and generic.

Acer parts OTOH (A-Open included) are usually at least okay.

I think some Acer netbook I was working on just totally died to some ESD.

Heard good things about their Aspire line.

Define that. It was open and you were touching its innards? Isn't that your fault for not wearing an antistatic wrist wrap?

Yes sir. I wasn't at home but some volunteer place.

As bad as ESD can be...nuking the ENTIRE machine with it is just unnerving.
