I bought an Acer laptop in August. So far it's been really good! I talked to some people on a NASCAR board I was on about what brands are good and stuff like that. They told me to stay away from HP. They had a lot of problems with them.

I would try taking it back to the store you bought it from and see if anyone there knows what's wrong/can fix it. If not, I'd call HP and see if they can do something about it or possibly replace it.

I really want to get a new pc, but I don't know what brand should I get. My friends recommend Dell/HP/Acer/etc.
I searched two online, one is HP, the other is Acer
HP seems to be not good, just like what you think. Here is the Acer I choosed

How do you think of it? Any other good suggestions?
