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 you all know, I am overly in love with my beautiful Toshiba satellite. I never ever thought another laptop could even come close to my satellite. And yes, I was right. My fiance took a trip home one week and brought with him his laptop. I felt so smug knowing that his laptop was so much better than mine. Being the kind, considerate man that he is (pft yeah right), he left his laptop here because it was have cost him more to take it on the aeroplane, and times are hard so I was then in charge of his Acer for a while. I told him I had no intension on touching his silly little laptop. However, there was one time when my laptop just wouldn't connect, so I was forced to ..  Read the complete review

I've always been a fan of Acer and have had a few of them over the years. My original Acer had a version of Linux on it and was incredibly prone to crashing and pretty much dying on me. So much so that whenever I took it out to work I always had my system retore USB with me!

Its nice and reliable and does what I need it to do. Its lightweight and portable and I have never needed to reboot since I got it. It doesn't come with too many fancy features just standard XP and you will need ...  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
