Reviews for the Acer Aspire 7735Z
Source: Laptop Mag
Acer delivers a big 17.3-inch screen and decent performance for an affordable price. In the tradeoff between price and performance, the Acer Aspire 7735Z (4357) strikes a pretty good balance for budget shoppers who want a machine for basic tasks. This notebook’s processing and graphics muscle won’t win over a true multimedia maven’s heart, but users who just want to watch DVDs or Hulu videos will have a satisfying experience. The $348 Toshiba Satellite L355 provides even more bang for your buck, but the $599 7735Z’s more attractive chassis, longer battery life, and more robust feature set (including a memory card reader, HDMI, and webcam) make this budget machine a compelling bargain.

As ever fewer desktop PCs find homes with loving families, we take a look at what might well be yet another nail in their coffin: Acer's newest 17.3in multimedia laptop, the Aspire 7735Z-424G32Mn. Acer's Aspire 7735Z is a reasonably attractive, well-built and (aside from the horrible touchpad buttons) well-designed machine. If you want a large-screen desktop replacement for films and productivity it's a bit of a bargain.

Comment
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500M: The graphics core of the Intel GL40 and GS40 chipset features a slower clocked GMA 4500MHD (400 versus 533 MHz). Because of the slower core speed, full Blu-Ray Logo support is not given and the gaming performance is a bit worse.
Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Pentium Dual Core: The return of the name Pentium, though it is a Yonah core. In fact, it is a double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption.
T4200:
Entry class dual core CPU with 1 MB level 2 cache and no virtualization technology. Compared to the Core 2 Duo line, some power saving mechanism are deactivated.

17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.

3.25 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
