Overview of the Aspire Acer 5750: description, specifications and reviews of the owners

The Acer Aspire 5750 notebook has become one of the best-selling budget PCs of the 2011 release.

Its appearance and "filling" were not markedprestigious awards, but for those who need an inexpensive "workhorse", it has become an excellent solution. What can boast the Acer 5750, what are its characteristics, and what do customers say about it? Read on, and we will answer all of these questions in detail.

Appearance

The design of laptops from the Acer 5750 series is prettystandard: strict and neat. The case is made of embossed matte black plastic, on which the glossy logo is clearly highlighted. Thanks to this, fingerprints do not spoil the appearance of the laptop. In the model Acer 5750G, the interior of the case is trimmed with beautiful bluish plastic, and the standard series is dark gray.

15.6-inch screen provides a fullspace for work. The resolution is 1366 by 768 pixels, the aspect ratio is 16: 9. It badly "pulls" video in high quality 1080 pixels, but it copes well with quality in 720 pixels.

The screen is glossy, liquid-crystal, bright and has good viewing angles.

Overall, the laptop looks solid, but the build quality itself does not inspire confidence. The plastic flexes when pressed, so it's necessary to be careful with it.

Important details

On the right at the end of the body is an opticaldrive that can read / write DVDs, CDs. There you will also find 2 of 3 USB ports. And one of them is high-speed, version 3.0 - the use of this standard distinguishes the laptop from competitors of the same time of release.

At the front end there is a card reader, and on the leftend is a connector for the power wire and grille. Nearby are Ethernet, HDMI and VGA-ports and another 1 USB-port. There are also connectors for headphones and a microphone, but there is no eSATA connector for the model.

As well as there is no wireless transmission of WiMAX orBluetooth. But there is a module Wi-Fi and WiDi 2.0. The latter allows wireless transmission of audio and video information to an external monitor or HDTV (if they are connected to Push2TV from Netgear).

Above the screen is a 1.3 megapixel webcam that shoots video at a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels.

Characteristics

The specifications for Acer 5750 series notebooks may differ slightly depending on the exact model number. Therefore, here we give the characteristics for the Aspire AS 5750-6667:

processor Intel Core i3 2310M with a frequency of 2.2 GHz (can be overclocked to 3 Hz), he more than adequately showed himself in the tests, although difficult graphic tasks are beyond his power;
RAM 4 GB (can be increased to 8 GB);
Intel HD Graphics 3000;
The hard drive can boast a serious amount of memory - 640 GB, of which 596 GB available for work, without taking into account the memory occupied by system files.

These characteristics are better than the majoritymodels with about the same cost. And what does this give in fact? The laptop is loaded about a minute, it easily copes with several tasks, for example, you can work on the Internet, listen to music and at the same time keep several pictures open, and the system will not slow down. But watching movies in high quality, modern computer games and editing photos can cause a hang.

For enthusiast gamers, this model is categorically contraindicated. All that it can master is casual web games and low-resource old games.

But for office work, studying, watching movies, accessing the Internet, Skype-calls on long trips is a good option.

Software

Acer 5750 comes with 64-bit Windows 7Home Premium, installed by Microsoft's Office Starter 2010, antivirus and Skype, and there are several utilities from the manufacturer responsible for the operation of the webcam and backup storage.

Portability

Notebook Acer 5750, like many budget models, is not very suitable for frequent movements. Here are some arguments to prove this statement:

Weight 2,5 kg. If you use your own car, then this will not be a problem. But if you move on foot or by public transport, then it is uncomfortable to regularly carry a laptop and a 3 kg charge together with a special bag weighing 1-1.5 kg. But if we are talking about taking him to the university library once a week, this is a worthy option.
6-cell lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 4400mA has a modest performance of battery life - only 3 hours of not very intensive use, just over 1 hour of active work. Although manufacturers promise 4.5 hours without recharging.
The glossy screen strongly reflects in the sunlight, it's almost impossible to use the Acer 5750 laptop.
Poor built-in speakers - quiet and fuzzy. Of course, the purchase of the simplest desktop audio system will cost less than the price difference between a budget laptop and a model with a good sound, but it is convenient only for home use. Do not rely on the built-in speakers for a good job.

Keyboard Acer Aspire 5750

To this important component of the laptopbrand special approach. Keyboard Acer 5750 standard for the manufacturer, with raised, clearly separated from each other keys. At first it can cause a slight inconvenience, but the habituation occurs quite quickly, and after that you can achieve high printing speed.

The laptop has a separate full numeric keypad, which, of course, will please people who, according to their duty, have to work a lot with the calculations.

But there is also a fly in the ointment. The keyboard does not make an impression of reliability under the fingers, so it is highly discouraged to knock on it while writing an indignant comment or after a not-so-good game.

The touchpad near the laptop is closer to the left edge, the buttons for the left / right click are located on one common panel.

Customer's opinion

Of the pluses, users note:

affordable price, especially during seasonal discounts;
the possibility of increasing the amount of RAM to impressive for a laptop 8 GB;
good webcam performance even in poor lighting;
bright clear screen;
sensitive touchpad that recognizes some gestures (but some of this sensitivity prevents typing text - the touchpad works, scrolls and enlarges the page);
1 GB socket for the Internet and in general the availability of all necessary ports;
A "large" hard drive;
quiet work of the cooler;
no extra preinstalled software.

Disadvantages:

Tangible weight and weak battery disappointedmany customers, especially those who use the laptop for work purposes during business trips or who often need to change jobs during the day.
Many drive opens, as soon as itsthe lid will touch something. This can lead to the fact that he "will leave" at the wrong time and break. Buyers even tie it up with scotch tape to avoid spontaneous opening.
Nearby connectors for power and network connection interfere with each other, if you often reconnect them during operation.
Not everyone likes the keyboard, although buyers with large fingers, on the contrary, praise it.
The power button is on the top left, right under the screen hinge. This often leads to the fact that users touch it, adjusting the angle of the display, and accidentally turn off the laptop.

In general, the speed of the laptopa satisfactory, Internet browser, simple games, movies, accounting software, even Photoshop 6 and AutoCAD do not cause hangs. Its longevity is also worthy of respect - for some users it has been faith and truth for 3 years already. There is evidence that the laptop has experienced more than one fall from a small height.

Many made the purchase repeatedly - as a gift to friends and family.

Summing up

Notebooks from the Acer Aspire 5750 series correspondpolicy of the brand - to offer more at a reasonable price. They have good characteristics, they perfectly suit as a family or office computer. More narrowly specialized tasks may not be possible for them, but it would be naive to expect this from budget laptops.

Of course, the manufacturer has saved on the quality of materials, weight, design and battery, but at the same time created a model that does not hit on the pocket and will show itself with the best hand with careful handling.
