Dell in second place because Acer lackluster performance.......YAWN...ZZZZZ.
Anybody who is in the market for a pc and or a laptop should skip the name brands and just buy one from their local assembler. That way when you call for support or have a problem you know you will be able to speak to someone locally!!

I think this was bound to happen, as HP and Dell are now cheaper then Acer kit. A couple of years back the cheapest notebooks were Acer. Not anymore.
Also, watch Toshiba, when their prices will go down (they seem to be $50 higher than the rest) their market share will increase.

Thats a shame I believe Acer makes a better machine than Dell.

Could be that Dell has a better known name than Acer. Not sure Acer advertises like Dell.
