« Cases and Current InvestigationsAcer Vista Problems
June 2010Acer manufactured numerous notebook computers containing 1 GB of RAM and devoting 250 MB of that memory towards graphics. Acer also included the Windows Vista Premium operating system with these notebooks. Microsoft states, however, that at least 1 GB of RAM must be devoted to the computer running Vista in order for the operating system to function properly. Acer failed to disclose this memory requirement to consumers and shipped defective computers which required additional memory to be added at significant expense. Judge White denied Acer's Motion to Dismiss, in part, and the case has been proceeding through discovery.
