Ive known Acer from way back when pushing in the power button
would bend the case and you had to open the case and re bend it.
For me Acer today is a premium brand compared to what they used
to be and like you say gateway/emachines are their lower end. I
personally find they make the right choices in a lot of
overlooked areas and get a bad rap.  To compare Lenovo make a
pretty solid machine in feel but my Acer laptop runs cooler and
has outlived two corporate laptops and that just a two year time
span. Acer is doing something right its just when you touch the
Acer it feels like its going to break or its a little thin but
it keeps going. I dont doubt the inside they just need to put
something more into the look and feel. A little thicker plastic
could change many peoples minds about what they are making.  RE:
