Review: Acer Aspire 5738DG 3-D Notebook

Horrendous 3-D technology almost masks this notebook's virtues, which include impressive specs, excellent performance and a low price.

Super-cheap, with overall impressive specs for its price level. Outstanding performance, even as a gaming rig

3-D technology, as implemented here, is years away from prime time. Bafflingly stupid design choices. Dim screen backlighting. Heavy

Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165

The Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 grafts a 3D panel onto a mainstream laptop. It's a gimmick, a feature that caters to maybe 1 percent of the computing population--and at first I was completely skeptical. People are offering 3D as a crowd-pleasing extra in...

3D LCD panel works well on some content ; Good value

Touchpad button feels a little cheap ; Poor battery life

The Aspire 5738DG-6165 is a good all-purpose laptop that also happens to slip in a very cool, but very niche, little feature.

Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165

It's not as bad as you think, though, particularly with a third-party tool and conversion times. There's no waiting involved for the conversions to happenthey're instantaneous. The only action required is that you have to open your photos, videos, and...

TriDef's 3D screen delivered a worthwhile 3D experience. Speedy despite using a budget processor. Discrete graphics. Plenty of USB ports. Inexpensive

Adding 3D depth to videos is a work in progress. Plain design ; Watch our Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165 video review

Acer's Aspire 5738DG-6165 is a very good budget desktop replacement to begin with; the fact that it offers 3D rendering is just icing on the cake.

Review Acer Aspire 5738DG 3D Notebook

The third dimension. Acer's 3D notebook is aimed at lovers of fil

3D effect for films; Robust casing; Cool surfaces; Good touchpad and solid keyboard

Poor graphical performance; 3D effect strongly dependent on viewing angle; No eSATA or Firewire; Poor sound quality

A 3D notebook for 800 euros is a first. Serious gamers should watch for the Asus G51J 3D in the next few months. This uses LCD shutter glasses and Nvidia Vision for a 3D experience.

Acer, I see right through you; you meant this $800 3D PC for the college stoner.

Acer Aspire 5738DZG review

The most affordable 3D laptop you can buy, but usability can be a real headache

Affordable way to enjoy 3D ; Truly impressive 3D effect ; Stunningly vibrant screen ; Strong performance for the price

3D effect quickly creates nausea ; TriDef 3D software doesn't work well ; Use of older technology limits future proofing ; Chassis lacks the quality of other Acer laptops

Sitting at the top of the European laptop market, Acer is well known for offering high-quality laptops built around the latest technology, at truly competitive prices.
