Excellent laptop and love the numeric keypad, you will too if your field involves a lot of calculations, it's perfect. Fast shipping and came as described. It's fast, light and hasn't frozen once! I also have a Dell XPS and I have found that the acer is more efficient and more fun to use. The camera is also very clear. A great buy and one I would recommend to anyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars Working Great So Far, April 1, 2010

This review is from: Acer AS5738Z-4333 15.6-Inch Laptop (Blue) (Personal Computers)

I've had mine for about a week now, and I'm really enjoying it. I have used it as a full-on laptop and I have also used it connected to my wireless keyboard/mouse and larger monitor. The screen quality is great both on the laptop screen and when I plugged in a larger desktop monitor. Windows 7 is nice and so far it runs pretty fast.

The blue color is very dark/subtle (more so than it looks in the pictures here), so if you want a really BLUE one, this might not be it, but if you're not sure you want a blue one, it looks black most of the time anyway.

I don't find the speaker quality to be very good at all. It's loud but kind of unbalanced (tinny, maybe) to my ears. It sounds great with headphones or my external speakers, though.

Built-in keyboard and mouse are fine, and I do appreciate having the number pad - can't live without that.

I'm not a gamer and I haven't done anything really intensive with this yet, but so far I'm very pleased.
