Thread: Acer Aspire 5755

With the new Aspire 5755 range. Acer tries to add more value into laptops targeted at budget -conscious consumers. It sports the newer 2nd generation Intel Core i3-23lOM 2.l-GHz processor, exclusive software like Dolby Advanced Audio V2, and a chiclet or isolated keyboard.

It's good to see that Acer's laptops are no longer drab and boring. With the Aspire 5755, Acer's offering customers a choice of five different colours - green, blue, brown, red and black. Although Acer has done a good job to hide the laptop's predominant plastic appear*ance, its feel isn't as good as the higher-priced Dell Inspiron 15R.



The keys are well spaced and good to type on, having a different feel compared to the keyboards found on the Sony VAIO S, Lenovo IdeaPad U260 or Samsung RC5lO. Fre*quently used keys are easy to hit and the tactile feedback is nice. The palmrest is slightly raised *like a VAIO S laptop - to snuggle your wrists better while typing.

Don't expect the Acer Aspire 5755 to offer the moon, it's after all aimed at budget conscious customers. Suffice to say that the Aspire 5755 packs in a basic punch in terms of its internal hardware. With a PC Mark Vantage score of 5179, the Aspire 5755 ou t*performs both the Dell Inspiron 15R and Samsung RC51O.
