Acer vs Compaq vs Toshiba laptops?

As one who fixes computers- 1)Toshiba 2)Compaq 3)Acer. Acer usually gives you more power for the money, but the quality isn't quite as high as the other 2.

You just picked the 3 worst laptop makers ever. But of course it depends what you are looking for. Toshiba would be the best out of all of these 3 choices because it runs well and lasts long. The designs aren't that bad either. Acer and Compaq is just FUGLY and isn't reliable at all. Acer is slow for some reason I don't know, unless you buy their high end kinds. Just by an HP, why a Compaq.

Recomend: Asus / HP / Toshiba

I think toshiba is the best.

Because Acer is working slowly and compaq is crap.

Wow, I didn't even know Acer and Compaq still existed. I've used both brands years ago and the computers started out fine and got extremely slow after about 1.5 years or so.

Toshiba.

Out of those 3 I'd pick Toshiba

Compaq is complete crap with a history of being crap and Acer has never impressed me.

Lenovo would be my #1 choice for laptops and you can find some great deals on refurbs at their outlet

dont care for any of them but if i had to choose one, id pick a toshiba. better build and toshiba has been doing laptops longer.

well acers build quility is crappy, toshiba has very little support for there products because its a foreign company. compaq is a us company with great build quality ... so compaq

Toshiba offers more bang for the buck.

Get ready for a long answer. First of all HP and Compaq are one in the same, just different brand names. Once again let's start with HP/Compaq, i have used HP's all my life, and i have absolutely nothing bad to say about them. They are very good Graphics and Performance wise, i have always favored them for their entertainment performance. They last an exceptionally long time, i have another HP laptop which ran Vista when it was first released (and it still does) it runs as it did when i bought it. I have noticed no slow downs or hardware failures since. Finally, HP Exclusive software which contains everything from entertainment suites, easily tuned with Codecs; to Safety software which periodically scans the computer and keeps it virus free and keeps the registry in check. HP is the way to go for business and entertainment. Second Toshiba. They are fine, but their hardware does not last long. On one model i observed, the keys were prone to popping out after even a small bump. I have also noticed that they tend to have alot of error messages. They don't really have as much exclusive software as HP, and others have to offer, but they are the way to go when you want a good, portable, and simple machine for yourself. Third Acer. These are really good laptops for their budget price. You could by a gaming Acer containing the Hardware to a high end gaming machine which would market for say... 2,000 dollars for at least 1,000 off. They are really good entertainment PC's with an exceptionally long life... If you make it so. Yes, Acers are built with a somewhat "Cheap" hardware, but this is really the only con. A few models do tend to freeze up, but other than that they are good if you are looking for something and you are on a budget, just take care of it like you should any other PC. Fourth Lenovo. EXTREMELY good business and school machines. They are built to run for a long time and last for a long time. They are exceptionally fast and can handle just about any task you can throw at them. Good for work mostly, but a few models are suited for gaming and entertainment. The lasting battery takes the cake though, a VERY good choice if you need it for school, work, or a task that requires a lot of time and work. Fifth Dell. A good choice if you want some gaming power. Dells are built for Work, Play, and Business all in one. They run for a pretty long amount of time, but some are prone to system slow downs and crashes, so be wise in your decision if you choose Dell, do your homework. Some models like the XPS, and Dells Alienware line i would only recommend if you want gaming and entertainment power... a person thats all play and no work ;). They are also a good choice in portability, some models are very slim and can be tucked away in any backpack or case you have. A good choice for Play. Asus: Knock your Socks off Gaming Performance. Sporting Intel I5 and Intel I7 processors, they are some of the fastest on market. But, all that performace comes at a cost, battery power. A high end gets about 6-8 hours, but the battery may begin to lose its actual life in a matter of years or even months depending on how much it is pushed. A good choice if you want speed and power. Gateway: Owned by Acer, but in my opinion they just threw the machine together. Prone to hardware shutdowns, frequent lags, very slow as opposed to other Acer models, and usually don't last long. I've had more Gateway repairs in my free time than anything else. Mostly burnt Displays and crashed Hardware Components. I would not personally recommend, but this is all my opinion anyway. Lastly we have Sony: A good balance of Work, Play, and Business. Slick performance and a very good life, battery and system wise. They have a entertainment software much like HP's Mediasmart, but little else in exclusive software. Hardware is good and tough, the Processors can handle anything you throw at them, and a select few are rugged and work fine after a bump or a drop. Most are very portable, and good for an on the go person. Like i said a Good balance of Work, Play, and Business, but i wouldn't try logging into world of warcraft. A very good choice if you want to do everything pretty quick and seamlessly. The Feel of them isn't that bad either. Well, it all comes down to what your looking for in your new Laptop. But in my opinion i would go down to HP vs Lenovo vs Sony. In the end, it all depends on how well you take care of your system on how long it lasts. So do your homework before buying any computer laptop or desktop from any manufacturer, and determine which MODEL is best for you and which best suits YOUR needs. Hope this helped :)
