Overall:57 out of 100 pointsIn early fall 2009 at Acer’s global press conference, the company’s head honchos stated their goal of overtaking Dell as the number 2 global PC vendor within the next few months. It was a pretty high bar, especially since the Acer brand wasn’t very well known in the U.S. before the Aspire One netbook brought the vendor to prominence. Yet when the 3rd quarter results came in, Acer squeezed by Dell, shipping 10.7 million units. This meteoric rise is due to the release of solid mainstream and ultraportable notebooks, as well as the company consistently offering great value in most categories. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly when it comes to design, software, and technical support.
