its very affordable ,, i think dell is going to change some prices for inspiron and the studio

PROS :-

wonderfull keypad & touch pad -- floating keypad
wi-fi connect range is increased
5.1ch dobly surround sound
very light and slim -- 2.2 kgs
15.6 inch nice screen HD resolution -- not like HD but better than inspiron screen
fingerprint reader
Bettery saver -- 4 hours of backup

CONS:-

GPU is down for such huge config
speaker sound is horrible
settings are difficult to start

Finally i can say .. acer did a good job on the affordable laptop with powerful config but worst GPU , im not intend to play but those want to play games dont choose this laptop ,, those want to carry over and tough typing can use this laptop ...

PRICE including tax & carry case => 35600/-

THANK YOU :!:

looks great..better than my old 4720

but u call 2.2kg, light !

Ya its money worth ,, but they had a decent GPU then it would be gr8

& Please post tumbnails from next time onwards

^^ ya i just copied the thumbnail url , but its changed !!

A Big doubt of mine is about the support of Acer in India..
And opinion of Acer reliability from genuine owners...

Great purchase. congrats man.

Techtree review says it Desktop Replacement.

How do u feel floating keypad ? Is it good while typing ?

They call it 5.1 Dolby speakers but sounds too bad. Would prefer Acer 4730z

For gamers Dont go for 5738 , but if u need powerful Notebook PC only speed in browsing & other graphical load softwares

Floating Keypad is Best feature i saw in the 5738 , its very easy to type

congo......great deal

I bought this laptop today.. Rs. 33k inclusive of taxes and a cool backpack (Linux OS). Got a USB Mouse free too!

Bought this from Acer Mall, Bannerghatta Road (Same guy has a Jayanagar Acer Mall too).

^^^ Congrats see the Backup of the laptop !! u ll get 4hrs when not using Big appl !!!

W

Damn Good Man!! 4 hours of backup is too good..

I mainly intend to use laptop for client calls (skype), sending reports and emails only.. So 4 hrs is achievable i guess..

I had an acer laptop previously which i bought 4 years ago.. My experience with it was very bad, still i went ahead with this coz the reviews are good, i've heard that now Acer has evolved with much better components to ensure an optimum user experience.

Thanks!

PS: Is it possible to connect this laptop to a TV? Laptop has VGA and HDMI Ports.. And my regular colour TV supports only A/V cable..

I dint see abt connecting the laptop to TV , but u can get the connector , its light weight from the previous acer ??

The keypad is best !!

I want to buy a netbook for the purpose of running programming languages (c,c++,php,python,ruby,java etc) Can you give an advice on which netbook is suitable for this purpose?

Hello Guys! I've planned to buy a new Acer laptop... 5738G... It's got AMD Turion™ X2 dual-core processor RM-75 (1 MB L2 cache, 2.20 GHz, DDR2 800 MHz, 35 W) / AMD M780G Chipset / ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570 with 512 MB dedicated VRAM / 3 GB DDR2 RAM / 15.6" HD / DVD Writer/ 320 GB HDD / BlueTooth/ MultiCard Reader / Gigabit LAN / WebCam/ 4 x USB Ports / Dolby Stereo Speakers/HDMI/ Fingerprint Reader etc. But many of my friends scoff me for choosing Acer. They accuse that Acer's got the worst build quality, and that it crashes too often. I've got 3 extra choices- HP DV61211AX (or) HP DV1110AX (or) Dell Studio 15. I'm utterly confused on choosing the right lappy. Please show me a way outta this maze.

I bought Acer 5738G... it is very fast......
