Sounds like a nightmare. I don’t have a lot of firsthand experience with Acer but I did peg them as low quality too somehow
Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY!

The Toshiba satellite. Pure trash.

I was in college around the same time and recall doing my usual minimum research for a new system and still to this day think "acer's crap, right?" when someone mentions it, even though the memory of why is gone.

I don’t have experience with their systems, but I had to go back to the store twice for an Acer monitor. First monitor had a dead HDMI port, second had a gap in the chassis at the top. Don’t know why I didn’t just go with a different one after the second replacement; it would end up developing a line of shadowing after about 18 months.

Acers would start with a QWERTY and after a few months would be down to Q–R-T
