Acer is soon going to be second place in global sales, behind HP and moving Dell a spot down. This event can be attributed to Acer's attempt at selling stylish and low-cost computers, including the Acer Aspire netbook , which is currently the best selling netbook. While this strategy is working for Acer, Dell's attempt at a similar plan seemed to be more of a bag of hurt. Plus, it seems that Dell is slacking lately in their products, in terms of quality, performance, and price (bang for your buck). This news comes as a big deal, since it is a Chinese company, and US companies have been in the top 3 spots for a number of years.
