That's just simply not the case. I think for most users you could find the right Acer for you, but I'm not most consumers. When I buy a new system I'm not overly concerned with price, but I am concerned with getting precisely the system I want, and Acer just doesn't offer one that matches that. I feel that if I'm going to spend a good chunk of money on something, it should be just how I want it, and that I shouldn't have to compromise on any of the parts.

This has always worked out pretty well for me with desktops because I research components that I want and then go to a local store and have people I trust assemble them. With laptops it's been a lot harder to find this level of customization.
