ASUS does make really nice computers. That said, I have an Acer that's about 8yrs old that I absolutely love.
I love it so much when the MB had some problems last year I bought another mobo for it on eBay and swapped it out. I agree Acer is lower quality than ASUS. I set one of those up for a pal earlier this year and it was a real nice machine.
@BrewBear ... I know there are Win 10 fans here but I'm in the "Win 10 Never" camp. I would have looked for one of the remaining machines still out there with W7. I will be migrating my W7 OS to all future machines for as long as the hardware supports it, then will go to a W7 open source alternative, which is in development. (I also use Linux live drives but Linux is a PITA to do anything on beyond point-and-click unless you happen to know UNIX commands. And Mac .... will never use proprietary systems that don't let you tinker with the deeper config of the OS. I don't own a single Apple product.)
Meanwhile my VT133 is plugging along, gangbusters. I've knocked it over I don't know how many times, and dropped my Aromamizer as well. (Steve, I saw you dropped yours awhile back and thought it was toast... that 'glass' tank is not glass but Pyrex IIRC. Which would explain why they don't break!)
In the bad news column, CA voted this last election to raise cigarette taxes, which is now applicable to vape gear, thanks to the &^%$-up FDA. On the plus side, MJ was also legalized for recreational use, so I shouldn't be caring as much come January.
