acer aspire 5741

 

i use my computer for school, and personal use. i like how it has good graphics and works well with every program that i have. i have not had any issues with that called for me to trouble shoot any problems. the only problem is, is the battery and the fan.. the battery won't hold a complete charge. it only charges to about 30% and stops charging, even though it says its still charging. even if i shut the computer off and leave it plugged in over night, it wont fully charge. and the fan inside the computer started to get really loud. when im video chatting with some friends, it sounds like a war bomb falling from the sky on their end. or some sort of loud siren. i do recommend this product, because it's fast and it's easy to use for people who don't really know much about computers

Comfortable keyboard, Fast, Quality display, Lightweight

Short battery life, Too hot

Acer Aspire AS5741-6073

 

The matte black keyboard is comfortable and easy to use for touch typists, but the key design strikes us as odd. The keys are wafer thin and sit raised above the bottom of the keyboard with a gap between each key. I have two worries about this design:...

Core i5 processor at an attractive price. Strong performance. Long-lasting battery. Relatively lightweight

Design looks dated. Keyboard design makes it a magnet for dirt and dust

It won't turn heads at Starbucks, but the Acer Aspire AS5741-6073 impresses with strong application performance and lengthy battery life.

Acer Aspire 5741Z-5433

 

You might be able to afford this Acer Aspire, but its limited features and slow multitasking may make you wish you'd spent a little more.

Outstanding keyboard and touch pad; budget-friendly price; bright, crisp display; great video performance and quality

Bundled security software kills network connectivity; poky performance; barely responsive when multitasking; sluggish even when performing singular tasks

Despite the 5741Z's decent performance on our CPU benchmarks, lousy real-world performance and nagging, preinstalled network slayer, not to mention overall weak specs, this system's low price alone isn't enough for us to recommend it. There isn't...

Unpleasant Experience

 

I purchased this laptop not too long after it came out. At just over 1 year, when everything on the warranty conveniently expires, the hard drive started having boot issues and the DVD drive flat out stopped working. It also started overheating and...

Great Laptop

 

I prefer Intel chips, and this comes with Intel Core i5. It also has Windows 7, 4 GB memory and a 500 GB HDD. Sound is acceptable, as I generally do not listen to music on it. Picture quality is great. And, it is much lighter than my last laptop.

Very good for price

 

4 gigs of RAM - runs very nicely. Keyboard feels a little cheap, but that is my only complaint. For less then an iPad, you really get a lot more.

Consumer review by:

Not that great.

 

I bought an Acer Aspire AS5741-5763 (LXPW002025) PC Notebook for my husband because he kept using my laptop. It was fairly inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. It's pretty slow when you're browsing the internet and there's not a lot of storage...

Easy To Use

Inadequate Storage, Slow, Short Battery Life

Nice deal for a laptop with great specs

 

I bought this laptop for my brother now that he is starting college, love the numeric keys included in the keyboard. So far the performance is great, quick turn on and turn off. For the specs we were looking for this was an excelent deal.
