Jim,
Personally it would be worth several hundred dollars to me to have a better name on any computer I would buy. What is the warranty being offered on this "deal"?

JP,

I wouldn't 'rush' to buy any Acer! While it is true that they have been around awhile, their mark is still in the 'trying to make it!' mode. I have priced them out a couple of times, but don't you think that those buying on price alone will buy a CPQ instead? I think that Acer is responding to that pressure, rather than trying to build a great computer for the best price, as with DELL (and GTW, now don't you all 'bite' me here!).

Just a thought,

Ken

re: Did anybody see the Acer P II 333 With 17" Monitor for $1,999 in the Best buy Flyer over the weekend ?

Sorry, I just saw, DELL cuts prices of workstations.

Thanks Jim

And, Jim P., just how good is Best Buy's on-site warranty? Or, oops, do they even have one?

Anyone who knows computers..acer sucks and everyone loves good ole USA Dell..
Shareholders of Dell go out of they're way to buy Dell.
I wonder what service is like with Acer.....Best Buy also sucks and I refuse to even do business with them...
I do hope Acer does well so that other American companies can grow....Msft..Intc..and the list goes on
