will make one soon - they don't have product lines that determine quality as well as the other ones do..

Can anyone recommend a local [Lakewood] computer repair guy who can take a quick look and tell me if its hardware or software problem? (For cheap?)
I really dont wanna do a hard reset, pay shipping plus wait a couple of weeks to send to Acer if not necessary.

Recently the lap top has been behaving fine, though Im still concerned. I put my ear to the laptop and I can hear that something spinning does not sound smooth, IE there is a faint, occasional rattling sound. Would this confirm a hardware problem that warrants a shipment back to acer?

If you're having so many issues on a machine under warranty maybe try to get it replaced. Very possible it's a fan issue, and that's the sound you hear, and in that case it may be shutting down due to overheating.

Ok, Typically don't they just repair/replace a part?

If you bought it with amex - try to repair whatever you need under manufacturers warranty, and once amex kicks in get an repair estimate for every issue and they will prob replace it if it costs enough to repair

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

You can always call the customer care for the issue and get it resolved if the laptop is in warranty period. I will recommend extending the warranty time period.
