Buy Acer’s products last.
Update(25/1/08):
Now I know what ‘ACER’ really means:
Credits to commenter superweightkoalabear for the inspiration.
Anyone of you remember that stupid jingle Acer used to play in radios and tv ads? You know, the one sung by a bunch of gay guys with equally queer voices and the lines went like this:
Acer is the best
High among the rest
Well, here’s a news flash for you Acer condescending son of bitches: you ain’t ever the best. Not 10 years ago and definitely not now or the foreseeable future. In fact, your product sucks so much you might as well stop making computers and start making vacuum machines. Or liposuction apparatus. Whatever.
Anyway, I’ve come up with a new jingle that I think bodes well with your current image and product line:
Acer sucks the most
Low among the shits
So what if it doesn’t rhyme assholes?
The reason I sound bitter about this Ace-wannabe company (hence the name Acer, getit?) because like any other Taiwanese brands (BenQ, TrendMicro, Jacky Wu, F4 etc) it has passable/meager design but absolutely terrible quality. Which made me wonder, were Acer’s assembly lines too busy giving each other ass-rimming instead of making good solid tangible products?
Like most other students hard up on cash and living on government loans, I (like millions others) were suckered in to buy an Acer branded laptop. Little did I know it would turn out to be one of my worst purchases ever.
Fast forward 2 years later, my laptop screen which wasn’t anything to cream about in the first place, started showing lines on the right side. FREAKING LINES! Those familiar with Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display would know that 99% of the time something like that occurs, it pretty much spells Nirvana Memorial Park for my display. And yeah, I purposely spell it full because it sounds cooler that way, even if it still sucks plenty of asses.
What’s worse is NEW lines keep appearing every week! Every time a new line appears, I felt like I was given triple wedgies on my candy ass. So much so I started developing a phobia to turn on my laptop for fear of new lines appearing and WHAM! hit my right at the crotch. I call it lapphobia.
Not to be confused with laponphobia which is the phobia of lap dancers.
Here’s a picture of my screen:
DON’T ask me why I took a picture instead of Print Screen cause that would make you look like a moron. Or someone who works in Acer.
Here’s an up skirt shot (close up la tiu):
If lines on the right side aren’t bad enough, the screen starts misfiring its pixels on the left side!
Not so clear on your screen right? Trust me, it’s crystal clear on mine (the misfiring I mean).
Now, now before you wankers start climbing on board the dumbass mobile and dismiss my case as a one in a million snafu, I’ve taken the liberty to conduct a survey of Acer laptop users among my colleagues in my university. I’ve compiled the results in an easy to read format and I’ve also thrown in a good dose of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in case some of you nerds question the validity of my survey.
Out of 8 people that I know who use Acer’s pathetic excuse of a laptop, 6 have had problems. That’s 6 out of 8 or a staggering 75% failure rate. And don’t you think just because you had an extended warranty you’re safe. Do you want a laptop that breaks down every few months? Think about the wasted time, money, energy spent going up and forth the service centre. One way or another, Acer is still gonna have your ass for dinner.
If you’re wondering how I solved my LCD screen predicament. Here’s how:
From a laptop, I am now a proud owner of…
A laptop-desktop hybrid. Great, I paid RM4000 to have the convenience of being tied to my table. Great going Acer.
If you ever wondered how it would feel like being a convict who gets gang-raped by his cellmates, you don’t need to go to prison to experience it. Just get yourself an Acer laptop! The feeling’s exactly the same.
