Acer Aspire 5740G-6979

New laptops based on Intel's Core i5 CPUs are rolling in like a swarm of summer grasshoppers. The Acer Aspire 5740G-6979 all-purpose laptop falls squarely in the conservative middle of these units, stuffing a next-generation Core i5-430M processor and ATI Radeon Mobility 5650 graphics hardware into a bulky, last-generation laptop chassis. Though the case is an attractive cobalt blue, the unit screams "average" when you factor in its 1.5-inch thickness and 6.2-pound weight. It's a tight fit in my LowePro FastPack 250 backpack--the power brick needed to go into a separate compartment. The system's performance is pretty standard for a laptop in this class, as this portable earned WorldBench 6 scores that were slightly better than average. The gaming results, however, seemed quite good for a $750 notebook, even in modern games: It achieved frame rates over 30 frames per second in Far Cry 2 with optimal settings in DirectX 10 mode, while the more-demanding STALKER: Call of Pripyat needed to be set at moderate settings to hit over 30 fps (but that included enabling DX11 tessellation). The display resolution is a middling 1366 by 768 pixels. While it is bright and saturated, the 60 percent color gamut means that you wouldn't want to do a lot of heavy video or photo editing.

Acer Aspire 5740G (6979)

Representing an even better deal than its integrated graphics counterpart, the Acer Aspire 5740G-6979 combines ATI graphics with an Intel Core i5 processor, producing a more-than-adequate gaming rig for just $749. When you consider that similarly configured 15.6-inch machines from Dell or HP cost at least $150 more, this multimedia system—which packs third-generation Dolby Home Theater surround sound—looks even more attractive. While Acer’s Gemstone design is starting to feel a bit dated, and the display isn’t the best, bargain-hunting gamers and multimedia enthusiasts will find a lot to like in the 5740G. Editors’ Note:Portions of this review were taken from our earlier review of the Acer Aspire 5740-6378.Acer has unified the design of its larger Aspire notebooks; from the outside, the 5740G looks identical to the 5738PG, sporting the same glossy blue (and fingerprint prone) lid. On the inside, however, it’s reminiscent of the Aspire 8940G. When opened, the 5740G reveals a deck that transitions from a matte surface near the screen to a dimpled texture surrounding the touchpad. Blue LED lighting beneath the power button complements a glossy midnight blue lid. The overall look is far from cheap, but it feels a bit played out.
