Acer Aspire 5732Z

This machine is the actual one im writing this review on at present , I bought it in january and have used it ever since It comes with a lot of pre loaded software such as a trial version of mirco soft office 2007 which you can use for 60 days , it also comes with a full working version of microsoft works the machine also came with the windows 7 operating system all ready pre installed the 500g hard drive is big enough for me , the dvd drive is also a dvd writer and runs quite fast the amount of pre loaded software from acer can be quite annoying and being honest , i deleted the most of it ... more

I bought this for £399 from Tesco in Jan 2010 when it was on offer, and since then I have seen various variations of the same model number (3gb Ram with 320gb or 250gb HD etc) but for the cash, I think i got the best deal. It's a great laptop with a great look and feel from a trusted Brand name. This is my second Acer (the first being the 3680 which i bought for £300 in Feb 2007) .

I bought three of these. All was well to begin with - a perfectly functional laptop for work. These were intended for office use so the lack of a webcam wasn't seen as a major issue They set up easily but were full of the usual "rubbish" being shipped on PCs that had to be cleaned off. The atheros wireless adapter is pretty solid but the LAN connection is a bit wobbly needing to be disabled/enabled a couple of times a week All was OK for about 3 months - a few niggles but then the problems started. The keyboards dismantled themselves - all of them had keys missing.- Acer charge for ... more

this laptop is superb. having recently purchased this netbook i am very impressed with the way it looks and how easily it skims around the internet. having children ranging from 3 to 12 and a husband that is a complete techno phobe i found the acer aspire a simple joy to teach. both my children and my husband picked up the skills to use it in no time and are now happy surfing the net at ease. in my opinion i couldnt of asked for a better priced netbook loads of features and fantastic quality. a must for all families. i think this netbook is far superior compared to to others in its price ... more
