Acer are certainly making a name for themselves. Whether their kit turns out to be as reliable as other mainstream manufacturers remains to be seen.

I've not been impressed by laptops in general over the last couple of years, I loved the build quality of our IBM's here at work, but they've been having motherboard problems with all our T21's. (post T21's seem to be a lot better)

Batteries are the other problem, our previous generation Dell Latitude's had a near 100% failure rate on batteries after 2 years.

I currently have one of the newest Latitudes myself, which has behaved thus far, but as a whole I don't put much confidence in any laptop lasting more than 24-36 months without any hardware issue.
