Is Acer Aspire 5920 T5500 worth to buy??????
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 by Praveen
I would buy it without hesitation :)
People spouting off about which they no nothing irratates me... so with that said here goes.
Acer has been in business for a very long time, before they left the USA Retail market, they were a higher-end PC company. When they returned, they aimed for the low-price market. I've helped people buy Acer computers, they are easy to convert to XP since ACER has easy access drivers of both XP & Vista available.
If you're buying a NAME-BRAND computer - they are ALL THE SAME. Acer has been making parts for other companies for decades.
Acer believe it or not is/was the parent company of Ali (Acer Labs Inc) and AOpen (Acer Open), as well as BenQ (the mobile division was sold off to Siemens). They do a lot of peripherals and I believe OEM for 3rd parties. They're also very big in Taiwan, one of the large computer manufacturers out there, I believe.
I also have personal experience with several Acer notebooks, including tablets, all of which were of acceptable quality.
Note that pretty much every Tier1 manufacturer out there will contract the big component makers (often many different ones) in Taiwan to manufacture their components... Asus being the largest, currently used by Dell and many others I am sure.
Acer ranks second in the global PC market for the EMEA region. Acer strengthened its leadership in the EMEA notebook sector and is positioned at the top of the rankings in: France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Turkey; still in the notebook sector Acer is ranked second in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
