 light, fast, and good battery life Only $499.00 July 15, 2010

I bought this for my wife yesterday for a birthday gift, and so far so good. Light, fast, and good battery life only $499.00 at Office Max until 7-17-10. I used the WiFi and a usb powered cooling pad for half the time and got about 3 Hrs, so maybe 4 Hrs without a cooling fan on and power saver mode on. FYI, I used the cooling fan because my wife's lap pad is warped, bad for cooling, the laptop itself is very silent, only noticeable sound is the fan when it got warm, I loaded her programs and files on it and it took about 4 hours. For the specs it is very much worth $500. Amazon is normally very competitive, not so much this week on the model compared to my local Office Max.
A great computer for the price August 19, 2010

I was in the middle of changing jobs when my home laptop suffered a fatal accident (apparently computers don't like beer). Since I knew that I would probably receive a company laptop when I started my new job I just wanted something to hold me over. This computer was exactly what I was looking for.
Each time that I go computer shopping I am always amazed at how much the top-of-lines cost but equally surprised by the lower-end computers. Five to six hundred dollars can buy you a pretty nice machine these days. I wanted something with a fairly big, bright screen (as I've aged it seems as though print gets smaller and smaller), decent capacity hard drive and fast enough for web browsing and streaming video. I've had this one for over a month and I am very happy with it.
However, I have one negative observation (I won't call it a complaint since I don't expect perfection at this price): the screen is bright, sharp and has great definition, but it also has a very limited viewing angle. Looking at it straight on is fine, tilting the screen back is still good, but if it is tilted forward just a little it darkens so much I can't use it. This is a problem only when I am watching Netflix and lean forward in my chair. Other than that it's just what I was looking for.
I will probably give to one of my children (I have 6) as soon as I replace it. This would make a good all-around high school or college computer. Four stars!
Lots of Computer for a Little Price August 26, 2010

I ordered this laptop on 5/25, after reading good reviews on Newegg and CNet. I received it on 5/26 (One Day Shipping through Amazon Prime). My initial impressions were that, although the exterior leaves something to be desired (it's very plain and functional-looking), the computer seems very sturdy and well-built. The keyboard is full sized and easy to type on. The touchpad is a nice size, although to left/right click, you have to apply a good amount of pressure, which takes some getting used to. The screen quality is good, although it's very shiny, so you have to have it at the right angle or else it's reflects way too much light.
I had a problem at first with the computer freezing on startup, which was a little frustrating. However, once I uninstalled McAfee and other bloatware, the problem was resolved. I recommend getting rid of these programs before attempting to download other programs. Without them, it runs like a dream.
It's a little on the heavy side, due to its large size. However, compared to other laptops this size, it's a reasonable weight. It'd only be a problem if you had to haul it around all day, but it would be comfortable to carry to or from class or work. The large screen would be perfect for watching movies or streamed video, although the speakers sound a little bit tinny.
Overall, I am very pleased with this laptop. I use it mainly for watching movies, surfing the internet, and writing papers, but I think it'd be able to handle more intense activities, like gaming. Spec-wise, it's comparable to machines that cost twice as much. The built-in webcam and HD components are a nice touch. I think it'd be perfect for the first-time college student or home user, even if it doesn't look as slick as other computers.
I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the freezing issue. That's more of a problem with Windows than a problem with the laptop itself, though.
Great laptop for the price! September 2, 2010

Just purchased this laptop last thursday at Staples for only $399!!!!! Love it! It is just find for my needs, which are mostly "playing" online with email, Youtube and social networking. The ONLY negative I can find with this ACER 5741Z is that its speakers do not seem loud enough. I have them up as high as they go, and it is difficult to hear music online. Otherwise, no complaints. I had a Dell, but this ACER blows it out of the water!!!!!! Especially like that the cover and keyboard area are "smudge" proof, and have a matte finish.
