If personal experiences are all this thread amounts to:

I've actually had a great experience with Acer Netbooks and have been satisfied and even impressed by their build quality. My only issue has been with a shoddy bios on an Aspire One. I suspect Acer build quality may have gone down when they sourced production of netbooks from Quanta to Compal.

All the ASUS models I've had were steller despite some wonky design choices for stuff like an ASUS UMPC. Build quality was great.

My barebones Compal that I built for University was excellent.

Gateway was a cheesy annoying underpowered thing but it did the job and never broke down aside from the battery nolonger holding a charge after 4 years.

I'll have a new Clevo notebook tomorrow.
