I'm currently using a $150 acer aspire 5100 i got at the local repair shop, it was perfect for about a year, but now the screen is starting to occassionally act up by going into spasms of yellow and red lines.

On average, I think there's probably a quality difference between factory refurbished and a machine that's been repaired at the local repair shop (although depending on the repair guy, that can certainly vary). It all depends on what kind of discount you're getting and how much risk you're willing to take.

I would say you probably already got your use out of it for that price.

that PROBABLY has more to do with it being an acer than it does with it being refurbished.

cheap computers start with cheap components

I've got an ACER that doesn't have cheap components.

My mom is on her 2nd Acer Laptop, the first lasted 2 1/2 years brand new and was a total pos. The verdict is still out on the current one I got her less than a year ago.

Very ironic, I have a similar model, also an Acer Aspire but different model# and its starting to do that same damn thing. I bought it about 3 years ago on clearance so I definitely got my moneys worth out of it.

One good thing about Acer's is that you can find replacement parts very easily...

http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-51.../dp/B004IM95Z2
http://www.amazon.com/BrandNew-Gloss.../dp/B002IAR7QA

Acer's are pretty easy to fix.
