Good question ;) With my older ones I had no problems whatsoever, The
latest one was an Acer TravelMate 290, and I really miss it's nice
screen resolution and quietness.
My current one is running pretty hot, but that's because it has
switchable radeon cards and I don't think the switched off card is fully
deactivated, even though I had some success with it, and also because (I
think) C1E does not work see
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=29448. I couldn't get the
i8254 mentioned there to work as one shot timer :( But with 4x2Ghz cores
it's nice to test erlang scaling, and it works flawlessly for me, so I
don't much care.
So, I guess you just have to test your specific model; "Acer's
computers" is just not a useful category...
Cheers, Mathias
