Advantages: Lots of features for the price
Disadvantages: Bulky, and a short battery life

...> Introduction < Buying a budget laptop seems to be a becoming more and more 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). It also comes installed with a decent 2GB of 667MHz 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!

...Right I bought this laptop around 3 years ago and I have had my moneys worth. It cost £400 but I cannot remember where I bought it. I now sit here on the laptop three years on writing this review. ---------------------------------------------------------- Good Points ---------------------------------------------------------- <>The Laptop has a decent sized screen (1024 X 768) and therefore makes watching DVD’s on the go very easy. It also means you can view more of internet pages in one go and makes image editing that little bit easier. <>It is slightly bulkier than modern laptops but overall it is still of a cartable size when on the move (after all it is a travel mate) I also purchased a laptop case which cost £25 where I can put the laptop, charger, mouse, mouse mat, USB stick, and the kitchen sink in. <>It is quick...

...types so no problems there either. Welll can't say much more apart from the only thing that lets it down, The case scratches very easy as i found to my horror when the cat walked over it while it was closed and left lovely scratch marks mmm wasn't pleased, but its travelled,its been bashed about even, and nothing to do with the laptop slammed it shut in a mood and thought that was a very stupid thing to do expecting to see a dead laptop or dead or half working screen but no had no detrimental affect at all Phew.. So in Summary hats off to Acer and a well constructed reliable machine ...maybe in another 10 years i will buy another one... Read review
