Acer Aspire 5755G review

The 15.6-inch Acer Aspire 5755G isn't the sort of laptop that likes to brag. Instead, it conceals its powerful components beneath a modest-looking chassis. Our model packed a quad-core Intel Core i7-2630QM processor clocked at 2.0GHz, paired with 8GB RAM. It's available now from SaveOnLaptops and other vendors for around £875. The 5755G is a rather understated affair. The only apparent interruption on its deep black lid is the chrome-effect Acer logo. When you get close up, though, you'll notice that there's a subtle grain effect on the lid. It's barely noticeable but it's just enough to turn an otherwise dull-looking machine into something slightly more sophisticated. The shiny plastic Acer has used to construct the lid is a total fingerprint trap, though, so keep a cleaning cloth handy if you're taking it anywhere posh. The only interesting part of the lid is the chrome-effect Acer logo. We use the word 'interesting' loosely. The shell flexed slightly under our fingers but not enough to make us worry. The laptop feels generally well built so we were quite happy hauling it to events all over town, and we think it could withstand a few beatings on the road.
