I bought an acer laptop before starting my sophmore year in college. The computer itself was fine but after 3 months the battery broke and it costs $200 to replace it. I talked to someone who fixes computers and he said that he sees acers in his shop every week with the same problem. Save your money and buy a more expensive but better laptop.
