Are Acer laptops durable?

Hey all!

So I'm planning to get an Acer aspire V nitro. It costs 1100€ for a very good configuration (i7,8gb,gtx 960m,1tb HDD+256ssd)

 

But I've found some very conflicting opinions about Acer; plenty say that they are shit and use cheap parts and don't last long.

 

Any experience with Acer?

They're hit or miss, seemingly more bad than good out there about them. My Switch 11 2-in-1 has been traveling the country with me since last November without any problems or performance degradation, so there's that.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Acer is shit. Look towards PC Specialist. For 1100 euros you can get a nice 965m or 970m depending how u configure it.
