Best Acer Notebooks - 384 to 1331 MB Installed Video Memory, 1 to 4 Hours Battery Run Time

'the 5740G is easy to move from room to room, making it a good choice for home users.'

'The system was able to run for just under two and a half hours in my DVD playback test before going into standby mode.'

' A very good mainstream laptop for home, the Acer Aspire 5740G offers very good performance, features, and a full-keyboard. '

'The response time means the laptop is well capable of displaying faster games, given, of course, the integrated Mobility Radeon Hd 5470 supplies the frame rates per second necessary.'

'The AS8943G comes with other neat features, including a Firewire port, an ESATA/USB Combo port, and an SPDIF that doubles as a headphone jack.'

'On the exterior, the new Aspire notebooks sport an aluminium cover that not only looks sharp, but also protects the seamless, frameless display. '

'The Acer Aspire 8930's media controls are intuitive and reasonably responsive, and the volume slider is, well, fun.'

'The hard drive is easily replaceable, and the motherboard supports a pair of DDR3 SO-DIMMs (and with a 64-bit version of Vista and the shrinking cost of 4GB SO-DIMMS, expansion is a viable option down the road).'

'The bezel is a little thick, but in my tests the lower edge was elevated enough to give me a good, full view of the screen even with my meaty paws typing away at the keyboard.'

'crisp, high-quality visuals and audio'

'Its 17.3-inch display is easy on the eyes and its full-size keyboard is pleasant to type on.'

'high-end gaming performance'

'A full keyboard with a dedicated number pad is also available. '

'This laptop supports both high definition video as well as high fi audio. '
