I purchased an Acer Swift 16 AI laptop back in 2025. Although the general functionality of the computer has been great, the last several months I have been experiencing issues with the display screen. My issues have been the disfiguring of the screen showing multiple lines going across and the screen blacking out for 3-5 seconds. I called Acer customer service. The first agent I spoke to walked me through the trouble shooting steps. I was on the phone with him for 30 minutes with him giving me several things to do to try to resolve the issue, nothing worked! I got to the very last step and the first agent says this is going to take about 20 minutes and I cannot stay on the phone with you. Run this and if you still have the same issues, give us a call back. RED FLAG #1! I called back two days later and talked to my second agent. The second agent tells me that I would have to send my computer out for 5-10 days (he did not specify but I am sure he meant 5-10 business days at minimum) for repair. Okay, well, are you going to give me a loaner computer? The second agent response was NO. First, that is completely unacceptable as I use my computer to work, I cannot be without a computer for that minimum of time and have nothing on hand. RED FLAG #2! So, I asked the second agent to speak to a supervisor. I had the pleasure of speaking to rude/disrespectful NICHOLAS (an American), some level 2 supervisor. I have never talked to someone such as NICHOLAS. Do not expect to have a respectful conversation with NICHOLAS because he will not give you an opportunity to talk and he will attempt to talk over you the entire conversation. Anytime that I was talking, he literally jumped in and was trying to talk over me. I brought this to his attention the first time and told him it was disrespectful because I was giving him the chance to talk with no interruptions, I want the same respect! My words just floated in thin air because he continued to do it until I got so frustrated with the phone call and how it was going because of NICHOLAS disrespect. I told him to have a nice day and hung up the phone. NICHOLAS needs to go back to customer service training and learn that a conversation takes two people. One person talks while the other person listens and then the other person gets their chance to respond while the other person remains silent and listen. NICHOLAS WOULD NOT STOP TALKING OVER ME AND IT WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, RUDE AND DISREPECTFUL!
My only request was that I have a loaner computer so that I can WORK while my purchased computer is fixed. Based on their policy, I do not feel that Acer cares about the lively hood of their patrons and NICHOLAS definitely doesn’t, he just wants to over talk you.
Since ACER has a policy that they will not offer a loaner computer while a purchased broken computer is being fixed, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN ACER PRODUCT AGAIN AND I RECOMMEND YOU DON’T EITHER. AND BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE RUDEST CUSUTOMER SERVICE supervisor BY THE NAME OF NICHAOLS, I AGAIN WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ACER PRODUCT AGAIN AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DON’T EITHER.
Desired outcome: I would love for my Acer computer to be fixed and the only thing I asked if they could provide me a loaner computer while my original computer is shipped out for repair.
