Acer rates worst for reliability. Some people have not had any issues but basically they consist of cheap components and buying one is a gamble to see how long they will last without a repair.

I heard they are the same, just not the Idea series..
The X and T series still gets a substantial price on TM 3yrs used.

I still have a 2000 X series working now, bought 1yr used, screen just went bad earlier this year. Had 3 other laptops, 2 were also IBM. I bought a X series tablet off TM recently, that's my 4 of the 5. Bro may want a T series with a larger series (the X has no DVD so it's the thinnest), T has a DVD so next on the list.
