I appreciate your thoughts about this but it is not true that everything that comes out of Chine is junk. China had a bad rap because of the many fast buck manufactures selling fake products, low quality products and products with lead and so on in them. Quite frankly, there are many manufactures in China producing quality products and high end products as well. Not all manufactures in China are destroying the environment either but those crappy manufactures are.

Since Microsoft is a USA company I would like them to produce their products here but at the price they sell them, I doubt they could pay any Americans enough. Instead they pay top dollar for the programmers, at least that is something

And safety standards are virtualy non existent, just look at the Apple plant in Taipei. Easiest way to cut costs in any industry is to not pay for safety equipment. Perfect example is all the people in Taiwan(Apple) and Korea (Samsung) who have died from lead poisining from 0 protective measures in the handling.

Also to say no quality products come from China is a farce, Gigabyte and Foxconn and Asus and HIS Digital and Acer all are made in China or Hong Kong.

Same with the super server that just came in. It is a HP and most of it was 'Made in China". There is nothing cheaply made about this rig. It is the best it gets anywhere in the world.

Realy my last 2 Acers worked beautiful for me. 1 desktop and 1 Gateway laptop. I guess just like anything they pump out crap alongside the quality. Although my experience could be slightly tainted since I gutted my desktop after I bought it and replaced the PSU and HDD and added a video card.

OK, let's not totally blame acer for crap, we agree to buy it cheap, so we get cheap. The PRESIDENT of ACER even said they want to flood the north American market with cheap laptops and desktops, because that is the lifespan of most systems before an upgrade is needed. So why do a high quality build on something that lasts for years, when it's outdated in two? WE allow products into our countries because WE are cheap. No longer is the status quo of pay big and it lasts forever. It's buy cheap because we don't respect our products anymore. How much do you have that was made in the last 10yrs? Is it because it broke and didn't want to fix it - because if it was that good we would, or just buy a new one? It's our lifestyles now, and we support crap products. Maybe the recession will open up some eyes and realize we need the quality because we will have no disposable income.

Well 3 months after I bought the audio button stopped working (that's why they dont use it anymore) and after 2 years some of the those base rubbers start to come out and the power supply died

It's not that bad since the problems are only related to the case unlike the expensive HP that burns motherboards and screw up hard-drives.

My next laptop will probably be another Acer since they are cheaper and dont have major problems like HP
