Looking more into Acer

Heres some more history of Acer I've found out today...

It was originally named Multitech, founded by Stan Shih, his wife Carolyn Yeh, and a group of five others in 1976. Multitech was eventually renamed Acer in 1987. It began with eleven employees . It was a distributor of electronic parts and a consultant in the use of microprocessor technologies, but it began to grow as a PC manufacturer. The main headquarters is in Hsinchu City, Taiwan.

In 2000, Acer spun off its manufacturing operation as Wistron Corporation, to focus itself on branding business. In deciding to support the sales through specific marketing activities, Acer grew worldwide.
In 2002, the pan Acer Group employed 39,000 people supporting dealers and distributors in more than 100 countries.
By 2005, Acer employed 7,800 people throughout the world while maintaining a global sales and service network.

In Europe, Acer mounted an association with the Ferrari Formula 1 Team. They were associated with Prost Grand Prix in 2001 and the BAR-Honda team in 2002. Their sponsorship of Prost resulted in buying the naming rights to the engine. Throughout the 2001 season the team were referred to as Prost-Acer. After Prost folded, Acer sponsored the BAR team. Acer then began to offer premium laptops and LCD monitors with Ferrari branding. It broadened its relationship with Ferrari by announcing it will sponsor the Formula 1 team until 2008. Acer recently introduced the Ferrari line of products to North America, and rolled out a Ferrari-branded line of PDA devices.

So Acer ranks as the world's No. 3 branded PC vendor behind the Hewlett Packard Company and Dell Inc, recently claiming the No.3 rank from Lenovo.

In September 2008, Acer surpassed HP and Dell over worldwide notebook shipment becoming No.1 in the world.

Is that enough evidence for you? Here's more info...Did you know that Acer has products such as..Desktops, Laptops, Netbooks, Servers, IT Services, Handhelds, Monitors, LCD TV, Video Projectors and even Digital Cameras? Cool huh?..


Here's the founder, 2nd from the left, Stan Shih, greeting Frank Hsieh, a presidential candidate from DPP before their meeting.

The Latest Gaming Desktop!

The Acer Aspire Predator GT7700 Gaming Desktop PC is all a gamer could ask for! This is the latest and most innovative desktop I have found from Acer, I personally believe that this is very updated and interesting. Heres a list of details I have acquired...check it out..~

The Predator gaming PC from Acer has an extraordinary performance within a robotic-like exterior. The supporting arms of the front cover and claw-like optical drive doors give an aggressive, combat feel to the Predator, suggestive of a giant robot from box office movies.The inner power, with highly dynamic mechanisms and lighting effects are a visual delight techy gamers. This specific pc was also designed with practicality. The tool-less, swappable hard-drive slots simplify expansion, gaming peripherals can also be connected easily because the USB ports, audio jacks and card reader are located at the front. It also has Intel Core 2 Extreme or Core 2 Quad Processor, nVIDIA nFoce 780i SLi chipset, with up to 8GB of memory, and up to 1TB (terrabyte) of harddrive capacity! (What more would you want?).
You can get up to three nVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX graphic cards or two GeForece 8800 GT. There are other features like TV tuner, Blu-ray Super multi burner, WiFi 802.11b/g, integrated card reader and optional Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Platinum. This is the ultimate pc especially for those into media and techonology...Here's a simply pic of the exterior...

Acer " Empowering People"

• My Profile

Hi everyone. I would like to start off with a brief introduction about myself. My name is Ong Yong Ho. Some of my friends call me by my Christian name Danny. I'm living in Seremban at the moment, and I travel to Malacca every week for classes since I'm studying here in Multimedia University (MMU) Malacca. I'm majoring in Marketing Management and I'm now in my final year. Thank you for viewing my profile.

• Topic

Well, I guess i choose Acer to be my topic in this blog is mainly because I have been using Acer all my life. When i was little, the first ever desktop computer bought by my dad was Acer, and amazingly it is still functioning at home even though it may be a little slow and you might get frustrated waiting for a page to load. Since there this brand didn't give me much of a problem and so i decided to buy a laptop for myself with the same brand and the model I am using now is Acer Aspire 5553NWXMi. I have been using it for two and a half years now and it's still in good shape.

I kind of gain more trust in this brand because of it's durability. Therefore, as long as I'm still living, I will keep on promoting Acer and support this brand all the way to make people's life easier. Let's empower people's life with Acer!
