Do you always have either dead pixels, loose charging port, or broken hinge with Acer laptops?

Between the three issues you mentioned, charge port are the most common I see with Acer whereas hinge issues are actually on the rarer side compared to other manufacturers.
With Acer, charge ports are pretty memorable since they’re soldered to the mainboard rather than being on an easy to replace daughterboard or cable.
Ultimately, charge ports issues are usually a user problem rather than a quality issue. There should always be extra slack on the cable when charging, the systems should be on a flat level surface, and the device should never be transported with the charger connected to the port.
Someone who has had repeat problems related to their laptop’s charge port is going to have a real bad time if they switch to a system that uses Type C ports.
@Romkslrqusz how about dead pixels. Ok in some parts I might just be unlucky then
I don’t see that very often in general, and it’s not that I don’t notice them because they do tend to stand out to me when they’re present.
I wouldn’t necessarily correlate that with a specific manufacturer, afaik the only laptop manufacturers that also make their own screen panels are Samsung and LG. Rest are using screens made by a small variety of other OEMs.
