By contrast, my experience with Acer laptops has not been good, but that may not be Acer's fault, due to various complicated support arrangements. The build quality on mine wasn't designed for it being humped around and used for at least 8hrs a day, though, which mine is.
That's what I said about the different quality models the different companies offer...
There are cheap, low quality Acers (and HPs, IBMs, ...) as well as expensive high quality ones.
That's why tests for specific models are so important.
There are also quite a few laptop designs that are sold by different companies only with slight modifications...
CU, Christian
PS: Some kinds of IBM laptops are build by Acer...

Get an Centrino based laptop.
Windows is fully supported and Linux is getting there (the WLAN driver is in a useable beta stage)
The brand (Acer, Dell, IBM, ...) doesn't really matter. Every major player has high quality / high price modells as well as those with a smaller price tag (and a not so good quality...)
CU, Christian
PS: I'm writing this on an Acer Travelmate 800 series laptop - whichbuy again. It's high quality with a very reasonable price tag. And performance (even with FlightGear) is great
