Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5742-6475

80% Acer Aspire 5742 review

Probably the first thing you’ll notice about the Acer Aspire 5742 is its appearance; for such a cheap notebook it looks really slick, with a carbon fibre like finish that has a great tactile feel. All up this notebook’s only downsides are the small amount of RAM and tiny directional keys, while the pros are numerous. The Acer Aspire 5742 looks and performs great, and for such a low price you really can’t go wrong.

Those looking for a high-tech laptop will appreciate what the Acer Aspire AS5742-6475 has to offer. It's not the most tricked out laptop, but it comes with a great processor, ample features, and very good battery life. It can be that primary laptop for a computer novice or secondary one for the family.
