Review Acer Aspire 5745PG Notebook

Touch me. Touch is in, not only for tablets. The Aspire 5745PG is ...

Good input devices; Touchscreen as a gimmick; Quiet and cool; Optimus for automatic graphics switching

Glossy display with low brightness; No eSATA or USB 3.0 port; Interfaces in the front areas

Everything that can provide a fairly strong CPU and graphics in the 15 inch field, so Core i5/GT330M or HD 5650 combinations from all manufacturers

Acer Aspire 5745PG-3882 Review

Great for movies and audio; strong multithreaded content-creation performance; multitouch display

Disappointing 3D-gaming performance

And what class is that, you might ask? The most accurate way to classify the 5745PG-3882 is as a mainstream multimedia notebook. As long as serious gaming isn’t on your do-list, the 5745PG-3882 will serve you well with media and nearly any application....

Acer Aspire AS5745-7247

Battery life is a concession, but only if you're comparing it with the Acer AS5820T-5951, which comes with a big 62WH battery. The AS5745-7247 uses the same 48WH battery as the Acer AS5741Z (4 hours 20 minutes) and Lenovo Z560 (4:03), but lasted longer...

Bargain price. Fast Core i3 processor. Great battery scores. Whopping 640GB of storage. Lightweight. Excellent user experience

Last year's design

The Acer Aspire AS5745-7247 is one sweet laptop deal, putting in parts and features you don't normally get at these prices.

Hard drive died less than One year and a half

I bought this at the end of Sept in 2010. The hard drive all of sudden died couple days ago. When I tried to reboot it, it had clicking noise and my husband concluded it has mechanical problem. I didn't expect it died so soon and my last backup was in...

Dump the free stuff

I have owned the AS5745-3428 for 4 months, It is the fastest and most versatile laptop I have purchased. I researched this particular computer for 2 months and spent another 2 weeks looking for it. It must be in high demand because it was hard to find...

Exactly as advertised

No complaints at all. Nice, solid, inexpensive lap top. Actually have been pleasantly surprised by the battery life, but that might have more to do with my old Sony that ate through the battery in 1.5 hours. I'm getting 3-3.5 easy on the Acer while...

Great laptop

I bought this laptop and had it shipped to me in 22 hours. You can't beat that amazing service! This is a greatly priced BD laptop.

A laptop running the latest generation of hardware (DDR3, Core i3, Blu Ray drive Wireless N, etc). While it may not be top of the line with a Core i7, it is still not a bad setup. It is perfect for media applications I use and for work and school. Like...

BD drive is a little slow when loading BD movies and like many BD drives, you have to use the supplied software to watch any BD movies ; It also came pre-loaded with bloat ware that you have to take a moment to remove

Computer is Great - Reseller is Very Poor - Dont Buy From Them

The ACER machine is wonderful and I am enjoying it. That said, find it elsewhere rather than buying it from Forrest-Electronics in California. Their customer service is god-awlful. Amazon washed their hands of it when I began escalating as I was about...
