Anyone have an Acer laptop?

Is it any good? Walmart has some for about $350.

No idea but I can ask Brian if you want. He's all into laptops and what not.

Last year I got an Acer (desktop) and honestly, it's been just fine.  I did have one issue with the DVD drive when I first brought it home, but it was just a fluke and it was quickly fixed for free. (had to ship it,though.) 

 

Their tech support is all local, so you won't be talking to someone in a ger in Mongolia which is nice.

DH recommends using www.cnet.com for reviews of anything technology.

There is a review tab and then on the left you can break it down into categories.

If all you do is nest and photos you should be able to get a pretty basic system.  DH also recommends the Dell Mini if that is all you do.

I use my Dell desktop most of the time (like now) but when I travel, I use my step-mom's Acer that she gave me.  I've never had a problem with it and it seems just fine.  I can look up the model number if you need it- I think it's fairly new.  She bought it for my brother in college and he needed a MAC.  Lucky me!
