Acer has joint offers with Tata Sky - Buy a laptop and get the Tata Sky box along with it. They make you pay for delivery upfront (somewhere in the region of Rs 700) for which you need to get a draft and post it to them with some forms filled up.
After that you’ll never hear from them. I bought an Aspire with this offer in December and sent them a separate draft for about Rs 700. They still haven’t instructed Tata Sky to install the equipment. I’ve been following up for 3 months now and all I get is arrogant responses from Acer staff saying that its not their problem. They point you to Tata Sky guys who don’t seem to know about the offer at all. Acer offers are gimmicky and are of low value. Their dealer network is pretty good and they’ve figured out the sales front-end pretty well in India. Acer staff however are extremely rude, unhelpful and arrogant.
My advice is to avoid Acer offers like the plague - they are low value and extremely painful to avail of. The product can categorized overall as average but support interface is poor. If you’re looking for an average product here it is. But please ask them to strip all the gimmicky offers out and just give you the basic price.
