I have to deceide tomorrow between Gateway 275 and Acer 300 series. The two machines seem the same. I have heard about sticky keys and poor quality with acer. I have heard of crappy tech support and bad digitizers with the gateway. I don't like the Toshiba without onboard drive and I don't have my desktop computer monitor set at high resolution so I don't need the higher quality screen of the toshiba either. I need sound advice from users from this forum. I posted before and only got one reply. Many of you own these machines. Tell me some positive feedback. What do you like? Is your machine holding up ok? Please reply. Thank you!
