Budget or Dependable?

There is an interesting article over on BusinessWeek called Acer’s Hot New Designs. Lots of high-res pictures and quotes from senior management.
I particularly like the quote “The Taiwanese PC maker is … releasing new designs to give its budget image a tune-up”.
Talk about unsung heroes. Have these people heard about Empowering Technology, seen a list of the proprietary technology installed across the product range or even held a Ferrari 1000 in their hands and felt the exquisite solidity of the case? There is nothing budget about any of this.
My Acer notebooks have seen me through serious battles and have never failed (even when I accidentally blew one up I managed to recover the hard disk contents). Budget? The correct word is Dependable.
