Acer & Build Quality are not words that many Acer laptop owners can give praise for.
Unfortunately I've had the fortune of using an Acer laptop and also dealing with Acer's Customer service, which might I add is the worst customer service I've ever had to use.
Acer products are a running joke at the company that I work for, I know many friends who have had the same problems with heat issues, broken hinges, poor case plastics, mainboard failure.
Acer normally try and attract buyers by offering a very high spec for a low value price, and the phrase "you get what you pay for" normally springs to mind when things do start to go wrong.
Have to agree with IBM Thinkpad, if I was to choose a laptop thesedays I'd either go Asus or Lenovo, although I've been very happy with my Samsung Netbook which is still going 3 years strong.
