Most Favorable Review

Great for the price

Acer Laptop Aspire Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 4GB Memory 250GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M 15.6" Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit AS5739G-6132

Pros: Excellent specs for the price 4 USBs with 1 doubling as an eSata DDR3 memory really boosts the speed for this price range CPU is strong for light-midrange gaming Battery life is excellent considering an independent GPU and screensize LED screen looks awesome, even when dimmed

Cons: I think the mousepad was made by squirrels with ADD Fingerprint reader is in an awkward position Lots of spam when you first start it, but that's typical for any manufacturer Subwoofer has an extremely grating, metallic sound when raised above 30% volume

Overall Review: For the price, it is an excellent machine. I use mine for word processing and networking while in school, but it has enough power to play several of my games, even the newer ones at medium and high settings. First thing I did when I got it was erase alot of the bloatware on the computer. Came with free upgrade to Windows 7 as well, free stuff is always nice.

Disappointing

ASUS Ultrabook ZenBook Intel Core i5-2467M 4GB Memory 128 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit UX21E-DH52
ASUS Ultrabook ZenBook Intel Core i5-2467M 4GB Memory 128 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit UX21E-DH52

Pros: Lightweight Classy-looking Sharp screen Surprisingly high quality sound Long battery life

Cons: Very underpowered - Processor is unable to run a single Livestream from a website without choking with no other programs active. Wifi - Weak antenna means connections are tenuous at best. Will repeatedly drop connection or lose internet access with hotspots less than 10' away.

Overall Review: A very sharp-looking machine and very impressive, but I am very disappointed in its performance. I got the machine to stay in touch with IMs, emails, and streams while traveling and for its long battery life. At no point did I expect a powerhouse of a machine, nor did I want one for my school computer, but it is unable to perform with even these light tasks to satisfaction.

Pros: Very powerful PSU for the price, one of the best values I've seen.

Cons: Cable maintenance is a bit of a hassle, keep strong zip ties handy.
