 Probably defective July 5, 2010
Lance A. Hobday (Little Rock, AR USA)
I bought this laptop for my son, and he loved the look of it, and the size of monitor when he first got it. But it continually crashed on him and just never worked right. It would be fine for an hour and then blue screen, or it would run for 10 minutes and then blue screen. So I'm not sure what was wrong with it. I hate to put a bad name on "Acer" laptops because I've heard they are good. I believe this one just had a defect in it somewhere.
After trying several things with it for a couple of weeks I was finally forced to return it.
 Happy overall July 3, 2010

Overall I am very happy with this laptop. Good things: very fast; display very nice; 4Gbytes of memory lets me keep lots of programs open at once; quick to go in and out of hibernate; works pretty well for streaming video (even full screen); Windows 7 is behaving well; with all my software plus Windows, I still have 410 Gbytes free on the hard drive; wireless works well. Not-so-good things (probably these are typical of many laptops): battery supposedly lasts longer if not installed while using on AC power, but it's a bit awkward to install and remove it as needed; touchpad seems confusing (but some features can be turned off to simplify it); keyboard is flat, so it's not quite as comfortable as a desktop keyboard (although a desktop keyboard can be attached via USB if desired). So, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I'm very happy with it.

This is the second Acer laptop computer I have purchased withen the last six months or so. The first one I bought has been bullet proof for six months now and so far this one seems to be built with the same quality. The set up was easy enough and I feel the price was reasonable. So far so good. The only thing Acer might improve on are the speakers. They are adequate but not superior as is the rest of the this computer. I would highly recommend this computer.

I've had this product for less than a month. It's my first laptop, and they are a different ballgame! Have to turn off the touch pad when typing or else the slightest accidental touch to it creates errors. The flat keyboard also takes quite a bit of getting used to. The speakers as noted in previous reviews are terrible. With volume controls at their loudest,site sounds are still barely audible. Windows sounds on the other hand come thru loud and clear!! Wasn't sure about Windows 7 but the more I use it the more I like it. It's simple and user friendly. The screen is bright and adjustable. The computer is fast , seems reliable, seems heavy but it's a desktop replacement and it stays cool. Batteries seem to average 2.5 hours. A lot of pluses in this particular Acer for the money including it's upgradability. Don't understand why laptops have the shiny stuff on the outside so every single fingerprint and smudge shows up.All in all I think it's winner.
Acer Aspire AS7740-6656 review June 23, 2010
Robert Kurowsky (Jacksonville, Fl USA)
After researching laptops on Consumer Reports Online I chose this model for my wife - she works from home, needs a high quality, dependable laptop for use at least 8 hours a day.
Thus far this Acer unit has been a delight for her to use.
It boots quickly with Windows 7, robust programs quickly come to life.
My only concern is the "a" key at times requires a more firm press for that action to take, compared to all the other keys.
Time will tell.
For now my wife is delighted, and most married gents quickly learn "a happy wife is a happy life".
