Yes, and Acer is one of them!!!

They insist that you must upgrade only using their RAM or void the warranty of the ENTIRE notebook. Idiots.

Yeah, Acer is like that. So is BenQ (their subsidiary). But it depends on the notebook manufacturer.

AFAIK, they are part of the Acer group. My old BenQ notebook was also serviced by the same Acer service company - HighPoint, if I remember correctly.

BenQ is part of BenQ group. It has no relation with the Acer group. Tan Chong used to sell Audi cars too.

Actually, they WERE formed from one of Acer's subsidiaries.

Look at the year 2000 to December 2001.

Yes, WERE. Not now.

BenQ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

The company was established in 1984, initially known as Acer Peripherals Inc., then Acer CM (Communications and Multimedia) however it had no relationship with Acer computers. It was finally renamed to BenQ Corp to avoid confusion with Acer Computer, and launched the "BenQ" brand in December 2001. BenQ Corporation is one of the companies within the BenQ Group, which also includes AU Optronics.
