Never buy acer - I've had 2 of them - both were dogsJune 24, 2008 aussie customer(Australia) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
First acer I had got a problem with keyboard failing - would work fine in bios but not after loading windows - looked like a software problem but after some research turns out to be an acer hardware problem. Assumed it was just a one off. Bought a 2nd acer (aspire 5315) - spontaneously turns off without warning - no gentle shut down - just turns off - turns out to be a known acer problem with fans not working properly unless you use built in acer epower manager which really slows the machine down. Also on my 2nd acer Adobe Creative Suite 3 wouldn't run on Windows vista home basic - fair enough since I then find out that Adobe obviously thought vista home basic wasn't a fully working OS and never certified it to work on home basic, however when I upgraded to vista professional - it still wouldn't work on the acer. I tried installing Creative Suite 3 on my toshiba (with vista home basic) & it worked fine. Toshiba good. Acer bad.

I bought the new acer laptop 2days ago.....It seem to be beautiful and sturdy looking laptop till i realized it had problem with the display.It goes blank after 15 min due to the power settings ....but it does not come back even when i move my mouse or short press the power button.I changed the power settings ....but went invain. Now i have no other choice than sending it back to amazon. I really wished it dint have this problem. Even worse is that Acer doesnt even have a reachable phone support. guess i dont have any other choice.
