But there is much to be desired, especially with design, software, and technical support.
Systems like those in the Timeline series give above-average battery life, but the graphics performance of many Acer notebooks is not impressive.
When it comes to design, many of Acer's netbooks and notebooks look plain. The company has focused most of its efforts into making its notebooks cheaper, but some style would be good as well.
The keyboard is generally good. However, the touchpads can be a bit larger and the buttons less stiff, particularly on netbooks.
Technical support by email for basic questions takes less than 24 hours. There is a voicemail pitch for extended warranties. But the company provides limited support hours for some systems.
Acer's notebook go for $400 to $900, which is rather low and there are plenty of models to choose from.
Acer provides some nice tools for its laptops like eRecover and Launch Manager but there is a lot of room for growth in this area.
Acer was among the leaders in providing touch and 3D at low prices, and so many appreciate this kind of forward thinking.

Using this plug and play system, a 2MB Wi-Fi hotspot is created for customers to access and is expected to come to the aid of companies based in countryside suffering from poor internet connectivity.
As per Andrew Fox, CEO, Deltenna:
There are still millions of people throughout Europe and the US for whom fast broadband is a myth. The WiBE's range and throughput means broadband can more easily, and cost-effectively, be deployed in regions that don't have access to DSL.

But not only eco-friendly aspects are important for choosing a new cellphone, also the price for the phone and of course the price for the phonecalls. Calling cards are preferred among cell phones users because of the cost factor and you can use them for making international calls without affecting your budget. For e.g. if you would like to call India, you can use India calling card to call India cheap. Calls are definitely cheaper using calling cards.
