Just an awesome laptop!,
by RadMan, 2010-05-17

Very pleasantly surprised by this laptop. Runs fast and smooth, built-in camera is the smoothest webcam I've ever seen (like watching TV!), and plenty of "headroom" on the HD for programs.

Highly recommended for a beginner -or- an advanced user.

Also, battery life is l-o-n-g on this one -- lasts far longer than the manual says it should between charges. You will love this laptop!

GOOD, BASIC LAPTOP - BUT NO MICROPHONE!,
by Linda D. Pinder, 2010-03-02

A little disappointed as I recently ordered and received from amazon this Acer AS5732Z-4867 and was satisfied that it was a good, basic laptop, at a budget price. However, I discovered today, that Acer was good enough to give me a nice, integrated webcam with this model, but NO microphone, only a microphone jack to connect an external mic. When shopping for laptops, I am in the habbit of searching the specs to see if one includes a webcam and not whether it comes with a built-in mic as well. A built-in mic would be on most laptops, I thought, especially if it comes with a webcam. Not so with this model. If you are going to use the webcam for Skype or Messenger or other communications, you will have to know sign language or the other party will have to lip read unless you are willing to buy the external mic to plug into the microphone jack.
UPDATE: Purchased this mic Olympus ME-52 Noise Cancellation Microphone from amazon and use it with the included black windscreen cover via the mic jack (without the extension cord). It works very well, but would have preferred the built-in kind.

 

Good Performing Budget Notebook,
by J. Battig, 2010-03-18

So far this has been a good laptop for doing the basic tasks (e.g. internet browsing). I haven't and don't plan to do too much power computing with this thing, but overall I have been happy with the performance. I've been able to load demanding websites with no issues. All other included applications appear to respond quickly and perform well.

The laptop's physical design is good overall but the laptop's outside case material is not of the sturdiest plastic. Compared to my wife's Dell, the plastic feels a bit flimsy. I don't think this will be a big problem in the long run, but wish the case was a bit more rugged. On the plus side, it is a bit lighter than my wife's notebook. I thought that the numeric keypad would make the keyboard feel "squashed", but I've found that it feels no different than any other notebook keyboard.

Two lights at the left palm-rest indicate power-on and charging status. Above the keyboard are buttons with indicator lights for turning the touchpad and wireless functions on and off. The hard drive activity light is also in this area. Unfortunately there are no lights to indicate when the caps lock and number lock are on, which has been somewhat annoying, especially when dealing with passwords. Everything else is comparable to a standard laptop, with no outstanding additional features.

This laptop does not come with recovery disks or even a backup partition. I guess this is standard practice for many laptops sold today. A recovery disk can be obtained from the Acer website for a fee, but I was unable to order it since the site wouldn't recognize my laptop's serial number, even after registration. Some select drivers are available for direct download, but I feel a recovery disk should be included with any new laptop or at least provided for free upon request.

There is a lot of additional trial software loaded on this laptop, with annoying popups once in a while to register or purchase a software product. I haven't found a good use for any of the products yet, and will eventually have to consider uninstalling each item. I'm assuming the included trial software is helping to keep the price of this laptop reasonable, so I find it only mildly annoying to deal with it.

Other: Wireless was easy to set up and has been reliable with good range. The track pad and scroll feature are accurate and function well. The screen is bright and easy to read. I've added a Microsoft wireless mobile mouse, which works well and makes a perfect companion to any laptop.

Despite the few minor annoyances, I am very happy with the overall performance of this laptop. I would recommend this computer to anyone looking for a good-performing budget notebook. (updated 10 April 2010)
