Review Acer TravelMate 5740G-524G50MN Notebook

 

Business Gamer. Business laptops usually do not have strong graphics cards. Acer begs to differ with its newest TravelMate model, the Acer TravelMate 5740G-524G50MN. Thanks to the ATI HD5650 and Core i5-520M duo in the laptop, Acer can promise its...

Good 3D performance, Strong processor, Matt display, Quiet during normal use, A lot of power under the hood but still quiet and (almost always) cool

No ExpressCard, eSATA, or DockingPort, Weak contrast TFT, Poor pressure points of the keyboard, Short battery life, Warm during heavy usage, Poor loudspeaker output quality, Ports, ports and one more time: ports. At least an Acer EasyPort would have...

Acer Travelmate 5740

 

The screen is great and I like the long battery life.

I don't really like the keyboard design. I touch-type and the keyboard of my previous Acer (Travelmate 5720) was much better for that. I REALLY MISS that customizable button bar to the left of the keyboard on the Travelmate 5720. I had one button...
