Plastic around screen separating from screen, hinges coming off in Acer Aspire 5

Bigmancozmo

After around 9 months of having my Acer Aspire 5, I've finally caved in and decided to make a post about this issue. I've been having to deal with this for 2 months now, and the plastic on the monitor is starting to fall apart. Not only that, but both hinges are coming off, too. Also, I know this is just an Acer problem, and not a "common laptop issue" like they like to use as their excuse. I've had some other laptops with plastic around the monitor, and they've all lasted over 2 years without breaking in the slightest. I'm most likely going to switch to another company. I've also heard that Acer charges $100 for the laptop to be LOOKED at, and they didn't even mention it being fixed, just looked at.

TLDR; Don't waste your money on an Acer laptop.
