excellent value for money...Acer quality
By Musicfan
I had an old Acer laptop which no longer had the capacity to cope with the march of progress.....it had become a bit slow....nothing wrong with the computer....it was still as reliable as ever. I needed one with a bigger memory, a better processor and a bigger hard drive. i wanted something that was going to do me for a few years. This one certainly fitted the requirements. 6gb memory! 500gb hard drive.......far more than I need....and a very fast processor at a great price. Great srvice as always from Amazon with delivery. Turned it on and it workded straight away picking up the wifi and connecting to the internet without any difficulty. It is loaded with Microsoft 7 which is very good. The computer looks great, it is very fast and has more than sufficient capacity for just about all my needs for years. Great value....reliable Acer....full of high level features and at a great price.....I don't think I could have done better....I am not a computer geek, I wanted somnething that was easy to use and to understand......this is.... highly recommended....

My folks old dell desktop was grinding to a halt after 8 years or so and it was deemed a laptop would be a suitable replacement. Picking through the many choices was a little daunting but I've had 3 Acer laptops over the years (a 17", a 14.1" and most recently a netbook) which have all provided stirling service and excellent value for money, so we chose to stick with Acer. Then you look at the Acer options, this model is a 5742 but there are multiple variations, some seem to be older than others. In the case of this one the Date first available at Amazon.co.uk is 4 April 2011 so it's from this season's range and as up to date as possible, I had looked at Acer Aspire 5742 15.6 inch Notebook ( Intel Core i3-370M, 3GB RAM, 250GB HDD, DVD, Webcam, Wireless, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) - Black currently at the same price as this (but a higher RRP) but it appears to be last years model so less RAM and Hard disk space.So with model selected and delivered how does it stack up. Well, out of the box it looks pretty smart, it's easy to set up and you are running in just a few minutes. It comes with McAfee virus protection with a 2 month subscription, from past experience this can sap performance so time will tell if we stick with it or move back to AVG. This is my first go with a Windows 7 pc and the early signs are that performance is good. Of course the hard drive while in description as 320GB actually has 283GB of space of which 255 odd is free (I'm sure most people are used to these hard drive variences by now). The LED screen on these Acers really is pin sharp and a quick test of HD playback was pleasingly smooth (from past experience this has provided a good test for screen and processor). The keyboard for me takes a bit of getting used to as it has a Numpad tagged on the end but that tends to be the way, all laptops seem to have slightly differnt layout. Battery life looks to be about 4 hours dependant on usage at present, time will tell if that is realistic.Early days but very happy so far, will update with anything of use as and when

By mike_hepp
This is the second Acer I've bought in as many months. The first one for myself and I was so pleased with it, I bought a second for my wife who is a computer novice. She is now up and running, carrying out all the basic tasks necessary. She is used to typing and finds the keyboard perfect. The screen is very clear, battery life is good and longer than quoted, overall delighted with this product and I have no reservations in recommending it to all.
