Hello All! I am an ACER owner but I am currently setting up a new U205 for a friend of mine living in Brazil. I wish to remove all of the Toshiba trash software and am not sure what I should delete. The obvious deletions were of...
My only experience thus far with ACER repair has been exemplary. I currently own both an 8104 and 8204 laptops and have excellent service from both machines. Even after more than a year, the 8104 is STILL a tough machine to beat! When I...
Hi! I was looking to go with a 108g NIC replacement for my 8104 and 8204 laptops. I went so far as to purchase 2 from a dealer on Ebay thinking the interface was mini PCI. After opening up the machines I found out that the...
