BTW don't get ASUS and Acer confused - they are different brands.

I wouldnt buy Acer/Dell/HP/Compaq. Stick with an ASUS/Toshiba/LG and you wont go wrong

* I dont know for a fact that this is where they go, but I know they are gone for a long time

This all depends on what kind of warranty you get. I have dealt with both HP and Dell through work and home. Never had to send them away at all. Hardware replacements were either couriered out or a technician came onsite to install.
