I have an Acer Nitro 5, it’s motherboard got fri3d the other day. Thankfully it was under warranty. But I wonder is acer laptops generally more unreliable than others?

Basically which laptops are reliable?

    Acer are middle of the pack with hp at the bottom, dell and Lenovo are probably the best. Golden rule, never ever ever buy anything made by hp, problems after problems especially their printers.

    I prefer Lenovo to be honest but dell are good as well.

    I have been repairing computers for 20 years.

    I tried to do this research years ago and my impression was that acer was near bottom of the barrel in reliability these days unfortunately.

    That said, it also seems in general that laptop quality and reliability are a total crap shoot, even within the same company.

    So your best bet imo is to just find a model that has the specs you like and research the hell out of it before buying.
