Acer Aspire 5749 review
The budget end of the laptop market has often meant poor performance, shoddy build quality and disgusting design. The Acer Aspire 5749 has none of that, instead offering relatively good performance with an interesting look. It's available now for the very reasonable price of £400 from Save on Laptops among other places.The laptop world may be being flooded by super-thin ultrabooks, but they're not to everyone's taste. With price tags upwards of a grand, they're not going to dominate the market quite yet. At 32mm thick, the 5749 is certainly no ultrabook as defined by Intel's criteria. Its 2.39kg weight doesn't make it the lightest machine to carry around either. But its 380mm-wide chassis isn't so huge that it won't slide into a stylish shoulder bag without too much fuss. That's not very slim, but you won't struggle getting it into a bag. It's considerably slimmer and easier to hulk about than MSI's GT680 gaming rig, but you probably wouldn't want to carry it everywhere with you. We reckon it's best suited to a trip to the library every now and then, but spending most of its time anchored to your desk amongst the discarded coffee cups and old sweet wrappers. It's not a bad-looking machine either.
Acer Aspire 5749 review
Keeping up with Acer is some task. The Taiwanese company has come of age and is now one of the laptop manufacturers to be reckoned with. Its Aspire 5749 is another fine example of advanced features in a budget package. From the outside, the laptop is uninspiring. Like many Aspires, Acer has concentrated less on the outward design and more on the technology inside. The light grey chassis is covered with a design that looks not unlike a sheet of metal flooring. It's a world away from the deep, luxuriant red of the Dell Inspiron 14z, but at 2.3kg, the Aspire 5749 is lighter than your average laptop. We wouldn't have thought you'd have any problems carrying it around for a day.There is a slight amount of flex around the edges of the keyboard, but this is minimal. The keyboard itself sticks resolutely to Acer's previous models – each key is individually raised above the chassis. It makes for comfortable typing, but crumbs and dirt may easily find their way under the keys. The touchpad is nicely sized and located slightly further to the left than we've seen on other machines. The two click buttons are melded together as two halves of the same button, while a small section on the right of the touchpad will act as a virtual scroll bar. It's a nice feature that you might find yourself using often after a few experimental flicks.
