Core i5 CPU ; Dedicated ATI graphics ; Storage ; Build quality

Screen ; Battery life

A solid laptop that makes good use of the latest components but portability suffers

Discrete numeric keypad ; Good gaming performance

Poor audio quality ; Keyboard layout not optimal for touch typists

This $750 Acer laptop offers very good performance, but substandard audio and a lack of Bluetooth may limit its appeal.

Fulfils a checklist of the most important features ; Good all-around performance

Battery life is little more than three hours ; Trackpad and mouse buttons are poorly designed

Mid-range buyers will be satisfied, but mediocre audio and video performance never aspire beyond that crowd.

Core i5 processor is speedy. Great for bargain hunters. Numeric keypad included. Big screen. Excellent performance scores. 2-year warranty.

Small battery means mediocre battery life. Lackluster design.

Good 3D performance; Strong processor; Matt display; Quiet during normal use

No ExpressCard, eSATA, or DockingPort; Weak contrast TFT; Poor pressure points of the keyboard; Short battery life; Warm during heavy usage; Poor loudspeaker output quality

Those users who absolutely have to have the ATI HD5650 should pick the Aspire 4820TG Timeline X, the Dell Studio 1749 or the Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S1E/BJ. To get the original "TravelMate" feeling, we would recommend the upcoming TravelMate TimelineX 8572G....

good price-performance ratio; battery run-time, if not under load; Multi Gesture Touchpad; good Keyboard; rich set of ports and interfaces

integrated loudspeaker; Distribution of ports and interfaces; average screen brightness

The Aspire 5740G has many competitors in the crowded laptop market: the Asus K52JR-SX059V for example. It comes with the same GPU, but the processor is an i3. Or there is the Fire DTX von DevilTech with the much more powerful HD5650.

Very good performance ; Nice, full-keyboard with dedicated number pad ; Gesture-enabled touchpad ; Nice screen ; Very good feature set

Heavy ; Battery life

A very good mainstream laptop for home, the Acer Aspire 5740G offers very good performance, features, and a full-keyboard. It is solidly built, heavy, and has average battery life, though.
