review
If we talk about this laptop we can find that it is really beautiful and eye catching.It offer Intel HD Graphics – a low-powered integrated graphics solution with enough performance to play back high-definition movies.Style-wise, the Acer Aspire 5740 is the more attractive machine.Along with the Acer Bio-Protection fingerprint reader, featuring Acer FingerNav 4-way control function which is a manufacturing option.
It comes in the Acer Gemstone Blue design theme which includes a glossy blue finish to the lid and textured grey plastics for the palm rests. Though its battery is just you can say ok but i am impressed by its sound which includes two stereo speakers.
this gadget look cool.It is perfect desktop replacement for performance enthusiast at affordable price but lacks in terms of looks and battery life.
