Looks like Acer has been busy readying all kinds of portable PCs to hit the market at once and today announced a whirlwind of new laptops and netbooks. In this case, a whirlwind consists of at least 10 new mobile PCs.

Give credit to news site Engadget for tidying up the entire spectrum of new releases, which includes the Aspire 5935 and 8935, both of which are 18.4-inch laptops with support for up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, biometric fingerprinting, WiFi, Bluetooth, and WiMAX. The 8935 adds 1080p output and up to two hard drives totallng 1TB, whereas the 5935 nixes full HD and can hold only one 500GB hard drive.

Then there's the Aspire 3935, a 13.3-inch ultraportable with a 1366 x 769 LED display, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, WiFi, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, biometric fingerprinting, and an 8-cell battery.

Other models include three eMachines, a pair of Gateway-branded netbooks, and Gateway's ID series, which sports a 15.6-inch LED backlit display, slot-in DVD drive, webcam with a curtain, multi-gesture touchpad, and more.

Now if they'd make their policies more consumer friendly, like their Dead Pixel policy on laptops, and their OS disc policies, which displease me, and their return policies on laptops that are defective, and problematic (My Aspire 6920G) and their bull about how they cannot help me with defective hardware since it's not their problem, which has me wondering, what exactly is their support for? I was told when i suspected my hard drive of failure (no more than 3 days later it did) they told me for a fee they could take it in and swap the drive, when i only had it for about 4 months maximum. It was cheaper for me to go out, get a size 0 phillips screwdriver, and an OEM Seagate G-Force 320gb 2.5" hdd, so I did. They refuse to give me an OS disc, instead i pay 50 dollars for recovery dvd's, which i already made, and threw out 8 failure discs before the 9gb backup was complete.

Sorry about the rant, but it has to be known that they will do ANYTHING to get out of being the problem with difficulties on their laptops.

I don't like Microsoft, I associate with it.
