I got THREE Acer laptops for my children from BestBuy for $399 each for Christmas and I am VERY happy with them so far.
One of my daughters has had an Acer for 2 years. It’s been great, but beware of the ac/dc connector inside. If you didn’t buy an extended warranty from the big blue box company, replacing it will cost around $150.00. Recent unhappy purchase for me. Otherwise, it’s been great.
