Acers may or may not be a good choise.

I have a friend who bought one and it was all out of the box.

The two latest Acers I touched (one I bought and the other a friend bought
it) showed some problems.

ACPI implementation is horrible. I think they only tested it with Microsoft
Windows.

Some parts (ex: DVD drive) can be very poor quality parts and can fail
reasonably quickly.

Apart this everything works fine.

Cheers
