I am not talking about the 5738z but 5738 (~33k)
hotshot05 said:Who said that men don't like stylish things or women don't like bland designs if it manages to get their work done????
I think what you are referring to is simply a stereotype in your mind.
Has she specified that she won't like a bland looking, high performance, VFM laptop???

Few of friends in college have acer 4000series lappies and all of them have screen problem.... their screen just turns white all of a sudden but everything behind works... so have to put the system in standby and then resume it for working.... Same problem found throughout that series.... Quality of dell is definitely superior eventhough it costs 2-3k for similar specs.....
+1 to this... Even the new Inspiron's lack quality. Some Croma stores have both Inspiron 1525 and newer inspiron 15 (1545) for display though they accept orders for 1545 only. See the quality diff ur self.hotshot05 said:Have you seen the keyboard of the new Acer laptops like the Aspire 5738, 4736, 5536 etc?
Keyboards on Dell laptops are crap compared to those on the new Acer laptops.
Just go to a store and take a look at the keyboard and if possible, use them. It is a dream to type on.
The new Dell models, especially Studio 15 series, have had a lot of problems.
You can go for Acer. They are at par or better quality.rohan30186 said:even m planning to get acer laptop...jus tell me howz the build quality n life of acer compared to dell wont be upgrading or gettin new one for next 3-4yrs atleast....
Actually we as a technical community should accept and promote VFM products. But off late I can see that many people at TE are suggesting only Well known Branded products, for which, a not so technically inclined person, may not require much gyaan.Raider123 said:Seems like Acer's Reputation is growing.....that's good....they always produce very good VFM products....
