 "It is a real shame it's been retired" 2010-08-10

I've had mine since February and I have not encountered a single solitary Hardware problem. I did not chose this Notebook because of the touch-screen (in fact I rarely have to use it at all but it is nice knowing that it is there, I would use it a lot more if this Notebook was a tablet style PC) but because the price was right and it had a pretty good and decent dedicated graphics card, an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, free integrated Webcam and Microphone, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Blue Ray muti-disk drive, HD-Wide Screen, and it had a very good and sturdy looking case (and it truly does). Also because you couldn't find a better Notebook in the 5-Star range with these same features for under $1,500 anywhere else!

The one and only minor issue that I see with this Notebook is that it houses a Western Digital HDD. That HDD manufacturer does NOT have a good track record at all, with one of the highest DOA and device sudden death rates in the industry, but I suspect Acer uses their HDD's only because of their cheaper prices. I would have gladly paid an extra $30 for a better and more reliable HDD brand, like Seagate or Hitatchi but it's not died yet and doesn't look like it ever will.

THIS THING IS A POWERHOUSE! I can play Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on very high settings, though not for long as it is very demanding and will eventually cause internal temperatures to spike pretty dangerously (not any fault of the system itself, all portable PC's suffer from lesser heat dissipation). However, I have never been able to play good games on any of the previous mobile computers we have owned before and so this is a definite plus.

I had been a Dell fan for many years, never buying anything else... until we bought the absolutely horrid Inspiron 1525. That Laptop was why I decided to break away from the fantastically bad Dell of today forever and to opt in for Acer (that $1,200 Dell laptop fried everything twice within the first year and now the lid is threatening to fall off of the cheap plastic hinges). Needless to say, if I ever have need of another Notebook in the next Decade or so I will most definitely be buying another Acer (similar to this one)!

But again, it is a real shame that Acer has decided to cut this one down in it's prime... ACER, WE WANT THIS AND SIMILAR NOTEBOOKS TO THE AS5738PG-6306 IN THE FUTURE, FOR THE SAME GREAT PRICE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DON'T SELL OUT ON HARDWARE QUALITY FOR CRAPPY CUSTOMER SERVICE AT MORE EXPENSIVE PRICES LIKE DELL DID! YOU GUYS ROCK, SO KEEP ON ROCKING!

Aspire 5738pg-6306 is a solid computer. not the fastest but fast enough. no problems so far. the touch screen is a cool feature which I thought I would use more, but don't really. for the price, definitely a good value for an all around good computer.

great so far easy to get stuff as you want it.nice display, color calibration is cool but doesn't seem to stay adjusted but once adjusted the display is as good as a normal tv I think or better.touch pad mouse and clicker could be better. touch screen is cool I don't use it much and its not reliable for me with really tight stuff. had a good amount of bloat ware junk on it (crap ware) got that removed free online stuff. wi fi is strong. I forget what the battery was rated at but if its anywhere near 6 hours thats on dim settings for sure. I love the key board and look and style of the computer. volume could have better increments between each level but its not a problem. good weight any heavier wouldn't be good. definitly reccomend

I've waited 3 months before reviewing this Acer. The verdict is.....pure satisfaction! The touch screen is ultra sensitive and has spoiled me for non-touch conventional screens. I just love the chiclet keyboard and extra numpad. Wish the volume was greater though.


 "Good - But don't fall for the Touchscreen." 2010-02-26

This model is a fine laptop computing-wise, but so are many these days. Yes, overall I am somewhat pleased, but there are 2 things you might want to know. 1.) There is no Bluetooth. You will find Bluetooth 2.0 specified in every review but it is a lie. Yes there is a brightly lit BT button conveniently located on the deck. But pressing it activates nothing; it brings up a BT logo with a big red "not installed" 'X' through it. The lack of BT in hardware, not software, was finally confirmed by ACER customer support after several emails. I found this falshood to be total ACER Ad-man ignorance at best, or at worst, blatant false advertising. 2.) The Win7 Touchscreen is cute, but adds Zero functionality beyond what old hackers can do with a mouse. If it's your first computer, you might like it. If you've been on these things for years it may just be annoying. All it adds is the opportunity for everyone else to try touching it to see what it does, which means you'll have fingerprint smudges all over your display, all the time. That is something it definitely doesn't need, becuase the resolution is already blurry, with poor definition, poor contrast, high-reflection, and a quirky 16:9 orientation that by default compresses any documents you vertically scroll into microfilm fonts. "So Dude, change your font!" Fair enough: But then all the windows aspects and deskcop icons are blind-people big and vertically truncated. I would recommend this as a desktop replacement only if you hook it into a bigger, better monitor. So get the model sans-Touch and save a buck. Keyboard - great. USB's both sides - Great. Cover latch - needs 2 hands unless you're an accomplished magician. ACER email response was swift. Kudos also to Amazon - laptop arrived smashed. With no hassles they had a replacement shipped next-day based on 1 email I sent before I even returned the first one. I would definitely trust Amazon for electronics purchases, no matter what you buy.
