Having gone through the gambit of PC companies over the past 20 years, my current favorite is Acer.  I currently have one of their tablets for business and a laptop for my son's home use.   

I agree that Acer has great tech support.  When I first set up my tablet with my Verizon card, I had some problems.  Between Acer and Verizon, we were able to resolve the issue, and the Acer tech's attitude was refreshing in that he genuinely wanted to help me resolve the issue. 

I don't have any experience with Acer desktops, but would appreciate feedback from someone who does.

My husband and I each have Acer laptops and love them. Their tech support has been terrific. I had to send the laptop in for repair once and they forgot to re-attach the speakers.  I called them and they had me send my laptop back again that afternoon (on a Tuesday) and I had it back in my hands by 10am Thursday morning. Anyone can make a mistake, it's how they handle it that makes a difference to me. They've always been terrific.

I use an Acer TravelMate C300 tablet, and have had it for over 18 months.
Great system and pretty reliable (although I did have a hard drive
failure for the first time in 10 years).  Once you get comfortable with the handwriting recognition software in Windows Tablet, you will love the system. 

The screen on the Acer is a full 14" diagonal screen - larger than the ones on the HP/Compaq and IBM/Lenovo units.  If you use the tablet as your primary PC, as I do, you will want the larger screen, especially when you are out of the office.

Make sure to buy the extended warranty!  You may be sorry if you don't.
