Acer buys Gateway, eMachines

Deal (http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2007/08/acer_gateway.html) 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.
