How good are Acer notebooks if compared with ASUS?

Hi. I'm confused between 2 laptops:
No 1:

No 2:
http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] cture=ASUS

I like the Acer laptop more because it has a blu-ray drive, it's very suitable for gaming, and the LCD is great with a 8ms pixel response rate, but some fella told me that Acer laptops have much less quality than ASUS laptops. I wanna know if this is right?
Do Acer laptops have good quality? Specially for someone who play a lot of games on them? Should I buy the ASUS laptop although I like Acer much more?
Thanks in advance.

I belive that there are no notisable quality diffrence between the two, so go with the Acer if it's the one you like.

Sure Acer leads the list of notebooks most likely to fail, however those comparisons usually doesn't take the model into account and as Acer have several models ranging from dirt cheap to top of the range, and is in the top 3 in sales, an Acer is more likely to end up in the hands of someone who treats it badly than most other notebooks. Would actually be nice if someone made the failure rate calculation according to model and price instead of just brand.

You may be surprised to learn who actually manufacturers a notebook and who merely rebrands someone else's.

Arguing about "who is better" Company A or Company B" can be a bit silly as quite often one is made by the other. Acer has had quite a few ODM's over the years.

Based upon the above if you buy an Acer notebook, it could have actually been made by Inventec, Compal, Quanta or Wistron.

CLEVO is a large Taiwanese computer company specializing in laptops. While the Clevo brand name is perhaps not widely known, their products are re-branded and sold by known boutique brand OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)… notably Alienware, Sager, VoodooPC, Falcon Northwest, etc. They are also considered (by whoever knows about notebooks) to design and manufacturer the best of the best notebooks in terms of superior build quality and innovative designs.

I am typing this message from a Clevo laptop bought here in the US of A from ProStar who charged me less than 2/3 the price of what WidowPC, Falcon, Voodoo wanted for the exact same thing.
