How reliable are Acers (not speaking about Ferrari)?

acer support varies greatly as to where in the world you are located. I
have bought two Acer notebooks over the past 4 years, neither has given me
a hint of a problem. I live in Toronto Canada and they claim a 48-hour
dropoff-to-pickup service that I have yet to put to the test, but I have
heard some horror stories about UK Acer support?

Travelmate 290E, no hardware problems at all. Other than self inflicted
software foul-ups -read careless stupidity- I've had an enjoyable time with
the unit. It's coming up to a year old, sees daily use on AC and frequently
travels to various locations in the house with a wireless card on battery
power. I've also had it on the road a few times for the convenience of
downloading my digital camera and reviewing photos.

I bought it with an extended warranty package but have never had to use it.
The one time I e-mailed a question to Acer Support I had an answer within 24
hours.
