Acer laptops can be a sensible buy, but the name on the lid is not enough to judge one. The company sells inexpensive everyday computers, lightweight Swift models, Chromebooks, business machines and powerful gaming laptops. Quality, display performance, battery life and construction can therefore change considerably from one model number to the next.
For many UK drivers, a Dover ferry is the cheapest place to start looking, but the cheapest Channel ticket is not always the cheapest way to drive to France. The useful comparison is the whole journey: getting from home to the UK port, the crossing itself, fuel after you arrive, French motorway tolls and any extras you actually need. A low Dover fare can lose its advantage if you live closer to Portsmouth or Newhaven and are heading for Normandy or Brittany.
