Acer: Our sales promos left us nursing operating losses

Dear Acer

I was looking for a laptop for my mother last week. I started at Dell, but they've done away with customizable laptops. Then I recalled my fond memories of you from my screwdriver shop days so I checked out your site. Your options were even more pitiful than Dell. Eventually I went to New Egg to look around and once again wound up with a Lenovo. Still not exactly what I wanted but it was better than anything anyone else was offering. I was looking for something in the $800 range with a decent (i5 or i7) processor, 16G of RAM, and an SSD hard drive. I wound up with an i7, 8G of RAM, and 1TB spinning rust drive. I really would have swapped the space for the speed on the drive and taken a hit on the processor if I could. RAM was acceptable.
