Acer

I attempted to boot acer swift 14 laptop from a USB drive which is a perfectly standard operation, and yet it refused to recognize the drive. I called their "support" and was told that ONLY DRIVES PURCHASED FROM THEM CAN BE USED. They even offered to send their drive with windows, and that's exactly what I do NOT want.
You think you bought a computer? No. You merely leased it from an erratic control freak.

Usually buy Dell desktops, don't usually have any issues. Decided to buy Acer desktop and try it out - worst waste of my money. Acer desktop is a pos - constant issues with installation of windows,can't copy paste, constant freezing, browsers not working (chrome, firefox and IE). Seriously the biggest piece of crap.

Bought a desktop computer from Acer (Acer Aspire) about 9 months ago. Worked ok, but last month it would not power on. Contacted Acer and since it's under warranty was told to return it so we did. I called to follow up and was told they are NOT going to repair it because they found a roach. They sent a picture of the inside of another computer with a roach on its back. 1. I haven't seen a roach like that not even in the neighborhood so no infestation issues from my end. 2. The roach looked like it recently died and was adult size so how would that crawl into a computer? 3. The picture of the inside of the computer they sent was not ours, it looked very old. We know this because we have 2 Acer same model. So we sent them by a picture of the one at home which is about 2 years old and there's no comparison. The repairs department is lying. I believe they just didn't want to fix it. I would not recommend buying from Acer, find a more reputable company.

Imagine having such a $#*! cooler that it scoots the overall CPU temp to 90 degrees + at idle doing as much as you are to fix these $#*!ty coolers. Imagine charging so much for an AIDS cooler for a pre built and making half of the case impossible to access. Cool lights I guess but $#*! the rest of it. The only thing that is actually easy to mod are the graphics card, ram, storage and the fan. The rest is impossible because of such a $#*!ty motherboard. I could probably make a better design for a motherboard using MY $#*! as a brown crayon and some lovely WHITE paper.

I purchased a monitor made by Acer and after a couple of months it stopped working. I had to mail it in for repairs, but it was returned back to me in the same broken state. They said that the power cord must have issues, but I used two other power cords and no it didn't fix the problem of turning on. I contacted the customer service and they stated that I would have to mail it back on my own and that they would look at it again. They did pay for the postage the first time. I didn't send it back as the warranty didn't state that they would only pay for postage one time so they could attempt to fix the item.

This is the worst company I have ever seen in my life. I bought a laptop before 1 week only (11/05/2021) it's not working for 3 days and graphic card is also not working I dont know why the graphic card inbuilt in this
Power consumption is worst If use laptop for 1 hour it will reduce to 20% from 100%
So customer service is also worst they dont even consider the customer issues and all
Its fully of waste of my money
So please dont buy acer laptop

When they sold the product at Store, they were available around and showed all products. After 3 months laptop having charging issue. They asked to courier because they don't accept drop off in-person at Acer center due to Covid. If you still fear of Covid why do you sell products? Stay home. All around world restrictions are up now. Courier charges are around 10% of the total product value. If you are still having Covid restrictions why you don't provide label to customers. While selling no Covid but In support and services you have fear of Covid. Non-sense and stupid logic.

Its so annoying. I want a laptop and color isnt like advertised at all and then I have to pay 70$ shipping back. No refund were placed. Tried to call them multiple times and still, they kept switching me from department to department. Such a $#*! show, dont buy from them buy from best buy or other supplier:^(

Despite liking my Predator Helios 300 laptop I purchased from Acer, this review is mainly aimed at their repairs department and general behaviour in assisting me with my laptop. My laptop recently stopped working and was out of warranty, I sent it back to Acer to look at for a fee and they provided me with a quote to repair it. The quote was for nearly £2000 to replace the motherboard. I couldn't afford this and the laptop was returned to me so I took it to a local technician who cleaned the laptop and it started working again. The cleaning cost me £120. I have since asked for a refund from Acer for the obvious misdiagnosis and attempt to make me pay an extortionate amount of money for a repair job that wasn't needed, however I have been met with a customer service department that does not care and does not want to know. The products are fine, but as a company I would recommend avoiding them.

Acer Aspire 5 running OK after 3 years. The 1920x1080 HD screen... not too bad for the price. MicroSoft Windows 10 OS license included. Power supply is stupid.

Unit purchased new in July of 2021--Lasted 2 years--no power to CPU-can not turn on--replaced power supply w ACER part $70 item-talked to support-can not diagnose--may be bad motherboard--Called ACER-Was told $419 if sent back for repair! What a POS. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER ACER PRODUCT--I bought a new HP So Screw You ACER!

Ok, Acer. Let me start with the pros. Lasted a good 5 to 6 years. Pretty color. Worked well enough. Cons: I HATED that you will be in the middle of something and it will just start updating for a good 15 - 30 minutes. No warning, no way to stop it, just goes and it does it once a week at the very least. My sister bought one recently and her's is even worse. It will do the no announced update for HOURS. She hates it and is considering calling it a loss and purchasing a whole new laptop from another manufacturer. I can't not tell you how annoying those updates are. You are typing away on your report and BAM it just closes on down, freezes you up and takes it's sweet time. I put up with it as along as I did because I didn't use it that much. Finally Windows 7 went out and I bought another brand that is also not any good. So that's a two person review for the price of one. Do not purchase unless you have patience galore and plenty of time on your hands!

This has been worst investment I made this labtop does not perform up to my standards this is bad for me I can barely get anything done terrible what a waste of money dissatisfied

I really surprise to see such low rating. Iэму been using Acer PS for ages and never had any problems with freesing or low performance. Yes I use Top models at work but I'm sure that all Aсук models work 100% for their price!

After reading many reviews, I decided on an Acer laptop. Big mistake. One of the hinges broke almost immediately. I now have duct tape holding my laptop together. Nice. Then, just after my warranty ran out, my curser started having a mind of its own. I am a touch typist-I do not always look at the screen when i type. I would look up and my cursor would be in a totally different place-looked like I was typing in a foreign language. If I took my fingers of the keys, it would magically go off to some other point in my typing. If I do not watch, it will even go to the text of an email I was answering. No rhyme or reason. Called Customer Service which is a joke. I could not understand anything anyone was saying. Finally got to the 'tech' and he was the most difficult to understand. His advice was to just not use the cursor! For that advice, I was charged $159.00. That actually was an improvement as they first wanted $189.00 for tech advice. I protested both prices and eventually had to go to my credit card company to dispute the charge. I was able to get my money back, but I am still fighting the cursed cursor.

My acer computer suffered a serious software problem. Now I accept that it happens and I accept the fact that I am responsible to deal with it. Fine. However their online app tells me the product is not registered but when I go to register the thing it tells me it's already registered. How can I trust them to fix something when they can't agree internally if it's even registered or not. It's not the computer that is the problem it's Acer. I'm through with them.

I received an Acer Spin 3 laptop sometime in mid-April of 2022. I was informed that it was among the better quality units compared to hp or other laptops. It had Windows 10 built-in and to be upgraded to Windows-11. The upgrading process had a lot of issues and custom and customer service could not help at all. After several days of trial and error, windows 11 got installed. This computer comes with a one drive system that puts all files including private confidential files into the one drive system exposing them to viruses. The tech support was again of no help in removing confidential files off of one drive.
A few days later the mike system failed to work on zoom, so I had to conduct zoom on my cell phone. By default the mike is on mute mode so each time I have to reactivate the mike again. The mike is muted if you want to listen to a website, you have to unmute each time you wanted to listen to a web site. The keyboard light is kept off when you run the computer. It took the tech person 1/2 hr to explain I have to press F8 and it will be on only for 2 minutes.
My speaker stopped working I don't know since when as I have been using an earphone sincre the day I received it, to not distract the neighbors. Today, 6 months later, they tell me the computer is out of warranty, though the website says there is 1 year warranty.
I am totally disgusted with this laptop as it is totally unreliable. The screen keeps zooming in and out each time I touch the keyboard.
Please DO NOT buy any Acer computer. It is worse than the worst laptops!
