You can call it whatever you want, of course. Second of all, a number of those machines are NOT netbooks, they're CULV laptops.

Been a great laptop, and is a quality level above the Aspire one I also have.  I thought that the weakness occurs if pressure is applied to the left palmrest which can cause the microphone cable to short.  <br><br>I also sent a request in when the first notification of this issue arose some time last year.  Never heard back and now no longer at the previous email address of my old job.  Just tried to hit the link on their support page and the site is down. Correction it is working now but the link takes you to the Euro Acer site, maybe that is why they have not responded to us as of yet.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gene L]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2010 1:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Acer issues US recall for 22,000 laptops going disco inferno]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/</guid><description><![CDATA[Atleast they don't ignore the problem like HP does.

In fact, I'm on it right now. To put it bluntly, it is the worse computer I've ever owned; and this coming from one who once had a computer that crashed every day. My laptop doesn't crash...often, but it's still horrible. I've had to send it in before to get fixed, because it kept crashing every time I logged in. For some reason unknown to me, the hardware fro the touch pad stopped working. I am now stuck carrying a USB mouse everywhere I go. Let this be a warning to all: ACER SUCKS!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MasterPuppet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2010 2:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Acer issues US recall for 22,000 laptops going disco inferno]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/</guid><description><![CDATA[@MasterPuppet Have you tried reinstalling the drivers?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harrison]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2010 3:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Acer issues US recall for 22,000 laptops going disco inferno]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/acer-issues-us-recall-for-22-000-laptops-going-disco-inferno/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Harrison  I have tried, but it wouldn't go.
