Acer Aspire 5742 Pro Reviews

hardwaresecrets‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The Acer Aspire 5742Z is a relatively big laptop, so if you are looking for a small and light machine that you can carry everywhere, forget about it. It is also not aimed at high processing performance and does not have a powerful graphics card. However, if your objective is to buy a big notebook with an excellent keyboard, large screen, and low cost, the Aspire 5742Z is a good option because of its relatively updated architecture and upgrading capability, such as a RAM memory increase. And, best of all, it has a good price tag.

With excellent speeds, ample features, and good battery life, the Acer Aspire AS5742-6475 can be that primary laptop for a computer novice or secondary one for the family.

Acer takes an inexpensive chassis and fills it with currently popular components. The Aspire 5742G-458G64Mnkk speeds up applications with a Core i5-450M and a whole 8 GB of RAM (2x 4GB). NVIDIA's GeForce GT 540M is added. If you are looking for strong 3D performance for 700 euros and don't have high expectations on input devices and interfaces, you can turn to the Acer Aspire 5742G-458G64Mnkk.

A top performer in its price class, the Aspire 5742G-7200 demonstrates that bland can be beautiful if you need speed on a budget.

For $549, the Acer Aspire 5742-6814 is a pretty good value. You get a somewhat plain but fairly portable 15-inch design, a spacious keyboard, and strong dual-core performance, all for just a little bit more than the cost of an iPad. Still, we wish the audio and battery life were better. For just $20 more, you can get a similarly configured HP G62t with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5740 graphics. And, if you want to splurge a little, the $629 Samsung SF510 has a very distinctive design that makes it look far more expensive. Still, you can't quibble with what the Aspire 5742 offers, which is more than enough power for everyday computing.

On a price-to-performance basis, the Acer Aspire 5742G-7200 is one of the better laptop buys on the market, but better-designed alternatives can be had for a little more money.

The 5742G lives up to Acer's reputation for value, with good performance and decent features, but it lacks a few expansion ports

The Acer Aspire AS5742-7645 laptop delivers excellent bang for your budget buck and a long-running battery. But, it comes packed inside a boring, somewhat flimsy chassis.

The Acer Aspire AS5742Z-4097 laptop covers the basics by supplying a dual-core CPU, a roomy 15.6-inch display, and a Webcam, while doubling down on the warranty, providing two years of coverage. There's nothing wrong with this $500 laptop, but Core i3-based models cost only $100 and more offer a substantial boost in performance and battery life.
