Acer TravelMate 5720G

travel mates are a type of laptop designed and made under the name of the computing brand acer. They are, for all of you who do not know, specifically designed for the working people, people who need something portable, or to use for their business. Now the design of this laptop is by no means stylish, in fact it’s the complete opposite. Its all in one colour, which I really dislike about laptops, it looks bulky and it just looks too dull ...
...by rounding off the squared corners and having a bit of colour change in their instead of the whole thing being black and boring. This isn't the fastest laptop, but its probably the average speed most people need for doing work on. It features a Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 / 1.8 Ghz processor which runs the 1gb of installed ram pretty fast. Another great thing is that this 1gb of ram can be upgraded to 4gb which would make the whole laptop run so much ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

...is another one from the acer travelmate range . Acer as a laptop company are beginig to grow, and they are now just as well know as a lot of others, but then I first saw then in shops, my first impression, and the impression of others I asked was they seemed a bit of a cheap brand, just like netto is compared to Sainsbury's. however acer have somehow seemed to change peoples minds and even managed to change my mind somehow. If you want something ...
...would go then. This acer has a massive 120 gb hard drive, this is just a bit more than what you would expect to be given in a quite a simple build like this is, so this is great for those of you who need the extra storage space. The screen on this travelmate is ultra sharp, as most are nowadays, and the new technology of these screens are just making them better and better. Because this is a travelmate, and is made for business people, it comes ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

...popular. The quality keeps rising. Acer has shown this with its latest TravelMate laptop. I needed it for general work, which seemed ideal. > What's it got? < The 5720G model has a dark grey exterior and easy to access control. At the heart is an Intel 2GHz T7300 Core 2 Duo processor (very fast for a laptop), though I feel this is simply to make Windows Vista work on it at an acceptable performance (it comes installed with Vista Home Premium). ...
...DDR2 RAM, this should be enough to run Vista smoothly for some time to come, even if you like to run all of your applications at the same time! Hard disk space is generous too. Its nominal 160GB capacity is enough to leave more than 125GB free for your own applications and files after Vista has taken its claim, and has a 10GB restore partition. As for expansion ports, there are four USB ports, one mini-FireWire socket, an RJ-45 port for the Gigabit ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

When looking for a relatively cheap but well-designed laptop, acer's travelmate series were a particular interest. Suitably powerful for multimedia applications, and generally well-equipped, with an integrated webcam, microphone and a separate graphics card. This does call on the system memory, however, and typically running windows vista will result in the system using almost half its RAM just idling... However, having purchased a similar travelmate, ...
...transported, the battery life in 'high performance' mode is short and the other power modes are less useful. I have experienced issues from new with the battery connection, and the seller - Kikatek, were very unhelpful. As well as not having a phone line at all - communication must take place by email - they were very unwilling to accept that the model had any fault at all... The laptop is a solid buy, just not from Kikatek! ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

This laptop is good for both work and play, I have looked into this laptop extensively because I was considering buying it and am still doing so. The laptop has a good processor (core 2 duo) and a great graphics card. The graphics card has hypermemory and can support up to 1GB of graphics memory. It comes packed with the latest hardware to give it top speed and performance for its price range. It is more than capable of playing most of the new games ...
...Half Life 2. as well as been a great gaming machine it can also be used as an equally great work machine, it is capable of handling large data transfer through both network and USB connection (USB 2.0) and also be used for graphics, word processing, publishing and database. It also includes the latest windows operating system “Windows Vista” with full Aero support for the ultimate vista experience. And with the built in webcam you can have video ...

...and no problems with this machine at all. Apart from the Battery which is useless, maybe 90-120 mins which is no good when on the move. Would definitely look at Acer first when getting a replacement laptop in a few years time. No faults with this at all. ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

Acer is a reliable company, they offer good customer support an good products. This fantastic laptop is n exeption, it offers speed, memory and great connectability, as well as a very reasonable price for what you are getting... Now, windows vista was given a very bad press when it first came out,it had terrible connectivity problems and basically wasn't up to scratch, since then they have worked flat out to get vista back on track. Vista now for ...
...computing. Vista itself has many advantages over window - extra security - easier management of files and a more uer friendly and aestheticl pleasing feel. I am a proud user of Vista Home Premium. Now, onto the actual computer, It really is a very high spec computer witha lot packed into a fairly small laptop. It has 3gb of ram which allows lots of programs to be opened without the system crashing, more ram also increases battery life as the hard ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

...to talk about the company, Acer has been going quite a long time now, but their customer service is only just satisfactory, should this put you off buying it? NO! For around £80 you can get a 3 year warranty that is quite frankly supurb. I KNOW A FRIEND WHO HAS HAD HIS REPAIRED FROM SPILLS AND GENERAL LAPTOP DAMGE 6 TIMES! now on to the laptop... the 2 gigs of ram are deffinatly sufficient and help to increase the battry life to an acceptable ...
...hard drive to store lots of pages on and also a very good graphics card with 256mb of ram it will get you places with most games... the size of th unit is also satisfactory, but is fairly bulky and heavy... this is a great computer for mobile gaming or high end proccessing and number crunching, but i very highly reccomend the extra warranty... all the best ben ...

Review of Acer TravelMate 5720G

I have been extremely disappointed with this laptop due to the consistent freezing I experience, I have also had major issues with the laptop over heating and shutting itself down. I purchased this laptop as a desktop replacement and use on average 10 - 15 hours per day, I feel as if maybe the laptop wasn't designed for this much work!!! ...
