    Questions for Acer

    Hi everyone - I've left it really late this time as I've been out of the country.

    I'm interviewing the UK country manager for Acer this afternoon and I would be grateful for your suggested questions.

    Thanks a lot for the great response to Kaspersky BTW. The interview is now live.

    Re: Questions for Acer

    Has the release of netbooks affected the sales of their entry level notebooks and if so what are they doing to try and combat this decline?

    Why is it even though there are many MXM modules are around, why is it still practically impossible to upgrade a graphics chip in a laptop and why can't they all decided on a standardised size so that end-users can change their GPU's without any issues?

    Re: Questions for Acer

    Are they still chucking 32bit OS's on machines with >4GB RAM plus?

    And also, "What question have you always wanted to be asked, but never have"

    And, a certain something else

    Re: Questions for Acer

    Anychance Acer could add Windows XP Pro 64bit driver support to the Laptop range as i'm not the only person that would like it supported as i came across many people using Unofficial Hacked XP64 drivers when searching the web for a work around and Acer support put up a brickwall and refused to talk about it or forward a request on my behalf to the person or persons in charge of the driver support page.

    Ok we have heard your new "multi-brand" strategy but how do plan to implement it?

    My mindset of Acer has always been that of "Budget". How do you plan to change my mindset of the Acer brand to that of "Trend-setting"?

    Re: Questions for Acer

    Have Acer considered making a premium range of laptops to compete with the HP DV series and Sony's when it comes to over-all design and build quality.... something that acer struggles with at the moment.
