I bought an Acer Timeline 4810T a month ago and its really doing well.The good thing about Acer is that they give us the choice of selecting features, which we require and not thrown at us and that too, at affordable price. I think, where Acer scores over other laptops is more value for money.

There are many that will swear by their Acer laptop computers and this is amply evident when you come across a great many advertisements expounding on the virtues of such laptops. However, it is not such a good idea to go by advertising claims alone and it is also necessary to first check out different manufacturers and sees what’s on offer before making a considered decision. It should give you peace of mind that Acer is a worldwide company and it is known for providing practical and first-rate solutions for the marketplace. For this reason it will be worthwhile to consider an Acer Timeline.

Fantastic idea. It should be made compulsory by all educational institutions. Indian brains can do wonders if they are provided at their younger stage. I am sure, the lady minister will definetly see that her dream idea would materialize–knowing her too well from her school days.

$10 typo made by the spokesperson has gathered enough campaign by itself, though not the best way to achieve that. Still, calculated mistakes are unfortunately becoming a necessity.
I am working on a $80 desktop project. Not just another project or claim, but it is nothing less than a revolution. Could some one put me on to the right person?

Well, I really thank the IIS and IIT for taking us such a challenge to create a laptop at $100 price tag. This will surely uplift the youth of our nation. Every Indian has to support this and lets show the world that we are the best. I also congratulate, the Minister of State for Higher Education D. Purandeswari for taking up the initiative. Thanks, Bharath

I wish them luck, but I'm not sure how a $10.00 laptop will contribute to higher education. Maybe it will fuel the anger management classes when it doesnt work properly.
