A very smart looking laptop,but wider than I’d expected to I dont think it will be used on my laptray, which is where I wanted it in Winter.

So far,I have been using Vista without problems but I am still trying to find my way around the applications.I find the keyboard as unpredictable as my last laptop- keys too flat or close together, so for serious work ,I go back to my desk top.

Overall,I dont think I made the right choice for me and wish I had looked more closely at different models.One disadvantage of mail order being you can’t touch and feel first.

Delivery to me here in France as always first class,prompt and secure.Well done Amazon.

This Laptop feels very cheap when you first handle it and I am sorry to say does not perform much better. Very bright and clear screen but really that is the only plus point I can give it.

Wireless connection took 11 Attempts to complete though everything was OK at the network end. Then kept telling me I was offline when I wasn’t You have to release the top to open it and this kept sticking. After only 9 Days the keyboard gave up completely and …Yes you guessed it the machine has been returned to Amazon for a full refund. Maybe I just was unlucky but I would not by an Acer product again after this experience.

the specs on this laptop looked very good and the machine did look impressive. However, when it came to connecting to the internet i found it slower than dial up. i returned it to Amazon, within a week.

I bought this for my sons, and i`m very happy with this laptop, i checked many brands, before i settled for this one, and i think its very good value for money.

I connected to my wireless network and printer first time without any problem..all in all a good buy.

I was struggling to find a point of differentiation when I purchased my latest laptop.

I was sold on the 5738Z because Acer advertised a Blu Ray disc and a fingerprint reader. The Amazon photo here shows a fingerprint reader on it but the model that ships to the customer does not have a fingerprint reader.

Very disappointed Amazon. Rating: 1 / 5
