Don't get me wrong, I don't say Acer products are worse, but it's just the 
fact that if you use anything different from M$ products, you will get 
problems with support (as in my case, or as already told in this thread 
before). And as long as their products are accepted they won't change. (It's 
like that with many products, where they say: we will port it to linux as 
soon as linux gets more popular, but sometimes it's just these programs that 
are needed to make linux more popular e.g. SAP, homebanking programs, etc.)

But just for completing: Personally i have some pretty good experiences with 
Toshiba Laptops, but only older ones so i cant tell about the newer ones (got 
here a Portege 3110).
Well, and then there is Sony and the Vaio line. My former teacher used one and 
said he had no real problems with getting Linux up and running on it (i can't 
either confirm nor deny this, is there anyone with experiences who can help?)

And well then there is apart from anything the Apple line. No comparisson to 
the others, but i just wanted to state that these are just COOL.
