Acer Aspire 5536 Review
A bestseller at Amazon in June 2009
after it went sub £400 the Acer Aspire
5536 is a great choice for anyone looking for a high performance notebook computer that isn’t going to break the bank. The dual core AMD processor performs well with the supplied Vista operating system and the 3GB of RAM means multi-tasking is fine. One of the nice features of this Acer is the “pinch control” which allows you to zoom in as well as scroll around using the touchpad. Likewise a lot of thought has gone into the design of the keyboard making mis-spells less likely.
At under 3 kilos the Acer Aspire 5536 is portable though not ultra portable like some netbooks but then a netbook doesn’t feature an excellent 15.6″ screen and DVD player like this Acer does. You will probably get around 3 hours from a full charge. There are plenty of options available with the 5536 range including more RAM, hard disc space, Vista premium and switching the AMD Athlon to the faster Turion chip.

Got this 5536 couple of months back with 3GB RAM and 250GB hard-disk No way I need more than that. Great value replacement for my ASUS. Was tempted by a netbook due to long battery life but then realised I would miss watching DVDs and a proper keyboard. Best sound I have ever had on a laptop – either with headphones on the train or watching a movie in bed.
Really happy with the Acer 5536 after four months of ownership. Even the sound is pretty good which is not normal for laptops! There are of course better machines… faster, cooler but not at this price.
