Many people don’t realize that Acer is the second largest computer company in the world. Considering all the different computer manufacturers, this is a pretty big feat. Acer makes seven different series of laptop computers, each a little better than the last. They also make a netbook which is a great value for its size. The Acer laptops series are the Travel Mate series, Gemstone series, Tablet PC series and the Acer Aspire series. Also included are the Aspire Timeline series, the Extensa series and the Ferrari series.

The Acer laptops Travelmate series has laptops that were designed specifically for the needs of business people and professionals. These laptops are equipped with everything the traveling business person needs including both ethernet and wireless ethernet adapters and a PC card slot. There is at least one USB port, but usually multiple ones to connect your external devices and the most recent models come equipped with the dual core processor which gives the user more memory to work with as well as a better graphics card to utilize.

The tablet PC series works basically as a mobile way to interact with your PC. You utilize a stylus or fingertip on the touchscreen instead of a mouse or keyboard.

The Acer Laptops series Aspire are the most popular the company has produced to date. This series has contains seventy-five different laptop models. The Acer Aspire even makes the Netbook, the Acer Aspire One. This series of computers was designed with the individual casual user in mind or even the small business. These were first introduced to the market in’99.

The Extensa series is another series of business laptops aimed at professionals and made by Acer laptops. This series contains nine different models and are close to the Travelmate series in style.

Acer has been in some lawsuits recently and has come out on top. First, the company suing Acer claimed they were copying patents including the power management in notebooks. Acer turned around and filed a counter claim against the company for patent infringements. The other company settled out of court with Acer. This meant that the Acer laptops would begin to dominate the market.

Acer then announced that they would begin to push the operating system Linux. This is slightly different from the regular operating system most people are used to, but many claim that there are a lot less problems and it takes up less to run it. The company has already pushed the Linux system in their netbook and now efforts will go to push it on their laptops to consumers as well as professionals.
