Acer reliabilityAcer conducts a series of reliability tests with our commercial notebooks with one of the most stringent criteria in the industry. A weight and pressure test applied up to 60 kg/100 mm diameter on the cover and other fragile areas to ensure durability during travel. A drop test simulates a sudden fall from a height of 74 cm when the notebook is on. Shock and vibration tests shake the system for hours, with up to 500 Hz of vibration and 220 kg of shockwaves applied. The thermal test ensures the palm rest temperature is under 35℃ for added comfort. Acer commercial notebooks have achieved multiple industry certifications, proving their trusted and durable design.
