Acer Aspire 5738Z 15.6 inch Laptop, Intel Pentium Dual Core Mobile Processor T4200 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, Vista Home Premium

I've had mine for over 5 years now, it's a little clunky like most old laptops are but it's still functioning pretty well considering its age.

the specs on this laptop looked very good and the machine did look impressive. However, when it came to connecting to the internet i found it slower than dial up. i returned it to Amazon, within a week.

A very smart looking laptop,but wider than I'd expected to I dont think it will be used on my laptray, which is where I wanted it in Winter.So far,I have been using Vista without problems but I am still trying to find my way around the applications.I find the keyboard as unpredictable as my last laptop- keys too flat or close together, so for serious work ,I go back to my desk top.Overall,I dont think I made the right choice for me and wish I had looked more closely at different models.One disadvantage of mail order being you can't touch and feel first.Delivery to me here in France as always first class,prompt and secure.Well done Amazon.

I bought this to take with me on holiday.Fine size for fitting my hand luggage and not to heavy.I also found it very sturdy and had a good feel to it.As for the rest I'm no expert on laptops but as soon as I return from holiday I will be looking to upgrade to Windows 7. If I had a choice between Vista and XP I would go for Xp.Enough said for Vista.Apart from that I'm very happy with it,good sized screen very clear and quite fast.All in all worth the price and would recommend it to my friends.

We have a desktop but we wanted a laptop to take away, and to use around the house. We bought the Aspire 5738Z and we are really pleased with it. We have had no problems going online, it picked up our wireless sky broadband with no problems and is fast! We also have a dongle for when away and again even in relative poor signal areas it connects no problem. The mouse pad is easy to use and the scrolling function makes life much easier. It has a large screen but we use it for dvds when away so it suits us. We could have spent alot more, but we feel for the money we got more than we bargained for. The battery life could be longer, but we bought an in car charger for when away camping and it worked really well. Overall very happy!

After owning several laptops, i had initally decided that a 'cheapie' would do. When nothing cane close to the performance I needed, I decided on the Acer. It came with 4GB ram and 500GB HDD, all for £399.00. BARGIN! Easy to set-up, desperately easy to use and excellent performance.If you are looking for an excellent notebook, please concider this. I cant understand why some of the other reviews are so poor. All I can say is that I would be happy to recomend to my own family.

I bought this for my sons, and i`m very happy with this laptop, i checked many brands, before i settled for this one, and i think its very good value for money.I connected to my wireless network and printer first time without any problem..all in all a good buy.
