well i bought my acer i had a choose of either that or a samsung. and id have a bad experience with Samsung laptops in the past so i went with the other option. yeah i knew acers quality was ropey in the past but i was informed that was change and took the dive. one of the other reasons i got a mac was that the audio quallity seems to be much better than any other laptop on the market
They've gone downhill recently, started using Foxconn parts. My motherboard is a Foxconn motherboard but they ARE hit and miss and you have to do your research.
HP recently started putting in the beats audio modules. I know beats are a bit ropey (they're the BASS EVERYWHERE, NO MIDS ETC) headset but presumably it'd be better than stock OEM stuff.
dont like beats sound the mac is as clear as my desktops soundcard and sounds lovely no distortion atall even on max volume
