Pretty good laptop Jun 13, 2010 By Seán Hayes
Pros:
* Big screen
* 4G of RAM
* fast dual core processor
* good speakers
* looks nice
* light
* quiet fan, stays pretty cool

Cons:
* Sometimes the power cord pops out a little without you noticing, so it starts running on battery power
* Weird screen resolution of 1366x768, doesn't play nice with mupen64plus at full screen resolutions
* No ExpressCard slot. On my last laptop (an HP tx1000z) the onboard wireless stopped working after about a year, so having an ExpressCard slot was invaluable. I figured a laptop this size would have one, but I didn't read the specs closely enough.

Depends:
* Has a full size keyboard, but I actually prefer smaller keyboards since they make it easier to type with one hand while using a mouse with the other

After I got it I booted Windows to make sure everything worked, then I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. Everything works pretty good (though I haven't tried to use the webcam), the only problem is the wireless (ath9') drivers which causes the connection to stop working or disconnect randomly.

Acer Notebook Aug 21, 2010 By Happy Customer
After suffering bad luck with my previous 2 laptops from a well-known mfg., I'm glad that I had the good sense to return to Acer for this product. I purchased it thru Amazon and got excellent value for the price, the delivery was prompt, and I've had zero problems to date. It is easy to get up and going with this laptop, and it is not packed with all sorts of extraineous software and "trial" product interuptions. I highly recommend Acer laptops and letting Amazon have the business.

Excellent Price and Excellent Performance Jul 22, 2010 By Gilberto Ramirez "Betoche!"
Acer AS5542-5547 15.6-Inch Laptop (Blue)

I bought this computer in replace of a Toshiba with a Turion X2 TL-62, is a very good upgrade with a Great Sound, great graphics and huge HDD, and I upgrade to Win7 Pro 64bits.

HDMI interface is a great upgrade to me, I can see the last episodes of K-On!!! :-) with full HD, and episodes of EVA 1.11 and 2.22 runs great!!!

You can play games with a very good performance like Transformers War of Cybertron, Street Fighter IV and the old games runs smooth like GTA San Andreas, Ghost Recon Modern Warfare.

Also the VMWare Workstation runs without problem, I run virtual machines with Red Hat 6 and Windows Server 2008 (simultaneous) these machines runs like in physical hardware.

I'm very happy with this laptop and price, performance, capacity, video, sound quality this is the best choice for your money.

Can't beat Acer + AMD Jun 29, 2010 By ALP "Maxwelhouse7"
When Acer teams up with AMD's Turion II Ultra processor the laptop that is produced can't be beat for the price. The laptop is fast with 4 GB RAM,the HD is large(500GB)and although this particular model with 15.6 inch screen and full keypad with numerics might be a little heavier than some other models it is still light enough to carry around without a problem. Having wirelss built in has been wonderful. It seems more reliable than wired and has been without problems. I never had that before and now I see why more and more people are turning to wireless.
I have only had this laptop for a few weeks now and have been running all sorts of games on it with no problems whatsoever.... Not "shoot 'em up" games but games like Myst, Dream Chronicles, Mahjong Deminsions Deluxe, and hidden object games. The thing could run more demanding games but I am not interested in those.
If you are on a tight budget for a laptop, the Acer AS5542-5547 is the way to go...reliable, well built and reasonably priced especially through Amazon.Acer AS5542-5547 15.6-Inch Laptop (Blue)

Love it! Aug 18, 2010 By michelle
I love this laptop. It's great for school and all my music. The price is awesome for such a good quality laptop. I couldn't find anything else that even began to compare to this deal.
