Acer Aspire 5720

INTRODUCTION The Acer Aspire 5720 laptop is a budget laptop, costing around £420 when I got mine early 2008. What drew me to this particular laptop at the time was the processor speed and amount of RAM for the price. On the downside, you get an integrated graphics card and a tiny hard drive. The hard drive issue has really upset me since (although I get by using an external USB disc). The graphics card doesn't bother me, as I'm not using this laptop for hardcore gaming. The laptop performs fine on games with lower requirements. SPECIFICATIONS: Screen: 15.4" TFT, Crystalbrite Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 2.0GHz RAM: 2048MB ...  Read the complete review

As a student I chose the laptop which was the least expensive but could perform a number of tasks. I'm extremely pleased I purchased the Acer Aspire 5720, it carries out every task in which I bought it for and more. I can load pages up quickly with the 160gb hard drive and also store much more music, pictures etc because of the 2gb memory. I purchased this laptop from Tescos for about £349 it definately is the cheapest in its class with the other laptops boasting much less technology for nearly twice the price! Acer is a great quality brand anyway so I didn't really need to think twice about purchasing this product. I just wish I hadn't waited for as long as I did, ...  Read the complete review

We bought this laptop a couple of months ago as both mine and my husbands previous laptops had both broken a while ago. This laptop has everything you need, it has windows visa which I wasn't too keen on at first, but when I used it a few times I was made up with it, much easier to use than XP and especially previous systems. Its very quick at start up, and comes with a selection of programmes which are almost identical to Microfsoft Office (I bought the microsoft office package but later realised the pre-installed programmes were just as good without paying out £100!!). Its wireless enabled, and so quick to connect once turned on! I was very impressed with the ...  Read the complete review

i am a student and when the time had come for me to buy my laptop for college, i must say that i was drawn to this machine. first of all the machine is within my budget, its very competively priced such that is stood out from the man fancy gadgets that were there and when i looked at it i realised that it had more or less the features that all the other machines had like a decent hard drive memory and really good ram since im not using it for muchbut study. Aesthetically its very basic which makes look good for many years to come even when trends change, it has not given me problems except when i try to open too many things and it heats up pretty bad. i like the graphics ...  Read the complete review

I needed a laptop for college work, i had a look around and came across the Acer Aspire 5720. The main reason that got me looking at it first was the price but then i had a look through the specs and it seemed like a decent laptop for the price, there are a few different versions of this laptop which just differ in hard-drive space, RAM or processor speed. The version that i got at first had a good boot up time, fast at loading up applications and was generally a good laptop. Graphics were reasonable and played games relatively well, the wireless connection is very stable and rarely loses connection. Now after a year or so the laptop has decreased speed just ...  Read the complete review
