Great value for money 20 May 2011
Absolute Bargain. The spec of this laptop is very impressive, i had seen laptops with half the RAM and HDD for much more. I even found an exact match in terms of motherboard and model but with 140gb less HDD and 3gb less ram for £129 more.
Laptop arrived quickly, was very easy to set up - all drivers are pre-installed so it was just a case of switching on and connecting to internet. I installed a few applications such as iTunes and all of these were very quick to download and install - id go as far as to say if i had faster internet they would have been quicker still - i base that on the apps i sinstalled from disk taking literally seconds to install.

The only slight critisism i can make is the feel of it seems plasticy and cheap(ish) - it has a carbon fibre look that is quite nice but the feel of it isnt so nice - but then again its hard to find a good quality build electrical product these days.

The screen is great - really good size (can easily watch a film on this) and great colour quality.

I have given this 5 stars as despite the feel being a bit cheap the actual high performance laptop is also CHEAP.

Once again a Bargain.

excellent 26 July 2011
I've been searching for a new laptop, and wanted to go for something different.. when I saw the memory and the price of this laptop I thought it was amazing! and after reading the reviews I decided to buy one. I'm pleased to say I'm very happy. The laptop is so fast, internet loads up in seconds, doesn't overheat at all like my last laptop and it was easy to set up, the battery life is also incredible. Definitely recommend!

By robv
Had a 5742Z with pentium processor, 4Gb RAM and 500Gb drive for about 4 months now. Can't fault it, it is quite light, the screen is excellent, keyboard feels nice, performance is very good. Delivery from Amazon was very quick, set up was totally straightforward, though I would recommend removal of most of the OEM trial software, but that is true across all manufacturers. Wouldn't mind an extra USB port or two on the back. I don't use it on battery very often but it seems good for well over two hours, though this will deteriorate over time.
All in, an excellent vfm machine, and build quality is excellent despite what some negative reviews say (be aware some negative Acer reviews are spammed across several products and do not refer to the products they are listed under, but products several years old and should be ignored), in fact sturdier than the last few Dell laptops I have had. Acer will certainly be near the top of my list in a couple of years when it comes up for replacement

Just not worth the stress
First of all, this is designed prmarily for the left handed user. The 'mouse pad' is offset to the left, meaning it's very awkard to use if you're right handed. Read more

Laptop
Bought for uni in Sept. It works fine.
Battery life is short and the laptop is bit heavy to carry around. But it's less expensive with good specifications.

A very good product with a nice clear keyboard and unusually having a "tens" keyboard the only minus point being the sound is only mono.
