Acer buys Gateway, eMachines
 

Deal creates a new No. 3 in the U.S. computer market...

They should just nuke Emachines and Gateway. Seems like their parts are made from recycled budweiser cans and used orthadontic braces :lol:

I'm on an Acer laptop right now and my only complaints are about vista
i need more ram :(

Back in the day, Acer stuff was kind of junky, but I haven't bought any of their stuff in 6 or so years. Is it better now? I'm sure gateway and emachines are still the lower class machines they always were.

I'm using an Emachine...I like it...It was cheap and it does the job

My acer desktop is ok, If I could've bought something else I would.

Very happy with my 2 year old Gateway laptop though.

had an emachines for my first computer, CRAP. never really heard of acer, and werent gateways the ones that came in cow print boxes?? lol. i have a compaq now with a dell flat screen

good. Acer is the shiv gayway and emachit suck

hey hey, dont knock emachines lol, im still using my 300 buck one that i got 6 years ago lol.

Eh, they are basically appliances now anyway. Like a washer or dryer.

didn't acer used to make boards?
