Acer Aspire AS5542G-5281 NoteBook AMD Turion II M500(2.2GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory DDR2 667 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

Great value for what you get -- a quick laptop that can handle modern games and do so with gusto in many cases. It's feature-rich and I can't really think of much, if anything, to complain about its computing functions. As a bonus, it seems solidly...

People are right about the 'flickering' screen, BUT I think the complaints in that regard are overblown. It's only noticeable when the screen is held very, close to my face ; People are also right about the touchpad & clicker. The 'multitouch' aspect...

the picture is phenomenal, the price was very good,the speed with which it operates is exceeding my expectations

too much bloatware

Is a decent mid-level gamer laptop. Plays EQ2 with balanced settings @ 50 FPS. Can play BF2142 @ high settings. Plays Fallout 3 and GTA 4 @ medium without a problem. Battery life is around 2 hours

The glossy top is a finger print magnet. Hard drive is a tad slow. Might be just me but the power plug port seems a bit loose

Built solid and light with quality components, this Notebook is by far a great value for the money. Fast processor handles anything I throw at it with ease ; The screen is bright and clear with no noticeable flicker as some stated in other reviews ;...

No PCMCIA slot so I had to upgrade to a USB TV card, not a big deal. Battery life is about 2 - 2.5 hours, acceptable but not the best

I was pleasently suprised with this laptop. I'm not a fan of laptops to begin with but needed one for the on-the-go type of work. It more than does the job! I only wanted to put in QuickBooks Pro 2010 but found it has more than enought ablity to handle...

I hate touch pads and this one is no exception. I use a wireless mouse instead. Of course if I nit pick...the glossy cover shows finger prints VERY well

This system is by no means a desktop replacement laptop. However, it is fairly powerful considering its price. For this price, you can certainly get a faster laptop. However, you get a dedicated Radeon mobile HD 4570 512mb card too, and that is worth...

If you're looking for a modern gaming laptop at a budget price, this is not the system for you. It is not able to run Bad Company 2 at acceptable framerates at lowest settings. It will run Crysis Warhead at Mainstream settings fairly well, though. It...

In this price range you won't find a nicer laptop. i purchased a 23" monitor from acer a year ago, was very pleased and decided to give their laptops a shot. works well, runs smooth, and video card is enough for a portable gamer. bloatware was minimal,...

none yet, but i'll keep you posted

Runs all 2004/2005 games at high settings for a nice price. Faster than my desktop I built in 2004 for $1000+ and more energy efficient so it's a nice replacement for older desktops ; The Turion II / Radeon 4570 combination makes windows 7 a nice zippy...

It is a little hot after gaming but so far it hasn't shut down on me. Just pickup an Antec notebook cooler s. It's small and compact with 2 fans... usb powered and props up the laptop at a nice typing angle ; Comes with bloatware but it isn't too hard...

This is a great machine for this price point! It does everything that I ask it to do and hardly even blinks. Dragon Age runs smooth at high settings, Sims 3 runs great, older games like &C Generals runs great. Nary a hiccup or stutter

Lack of bluetooth (added an Asus USB bluetooth adapter, works great) ; Lack of Blu-Ray. It seems strange that I can buy a blu ray player for $100, but if I want a laptop that has a dedicated video card and a blu ray player both, it costs $300 more than...

As everyone else has stated, great price for having a dedicated video processor. Runs pretty fast compared to my Athlon XP+ tower. Decent keyboard, though I find myself quite frequently hitting the capslock when going for the "A" key--I guess that's...

The system locks up on me, forcing a hot restart once a day, within the first 30 minutes of being started up, then it usually runs fine, except for the BSOD's I keep getting about once a week. I've attempted to update the drivers, but Win 7 is new to...
