San Jose (CA) – Acer has set its focus on Dell and Hewlett-Packard in 2009: Already the third-largest PC manufacturer in the world, the company reportedly wants to surpass Dell – and pricing appears to be main strategy to attract buyers.

"For $1800, the Acer system includes an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 CPU (which is clocked at 2.26 GHz by default, but runs at 2.53 GHz in this notebook, according to Acer), 4 GB memory, Nvidia’s 9700 GT graphics chip, a 500 GB hard drive, a Blu-ray disc drive and Windows Vista 64-bit."

Wonder if the build quality is any good or have corners been cut to keep the price down? False economy maybe? Last Acer laptop I had was appallingly made and it cost more for the hardware than this one.
