Acer Aspire E 17 E5-772G-52Q7 User Review and Ratings

• I'm very happy with the Acer 17" i5 notebook.

  I've used the Acer 17" i5 notebook for almost 4 weeks now after using a 17" dual core for 10 years. Probably have around 100 hours of use. I've had 0 problems with it both sleeping it closing the lid and hibernating. I use it plugged in so cannot comment on battery life. I typically have 8-12 programs loaded.Pros:- Stays cool. Rarely is more than cool to the touch, including doing intensive computing or using a flight simulator.- It's very light - much lighter than my 17" Gateway and wife's MacBookPro.- Resumes from hibernation very fast.- Auto-selects internal graphics or nVidia as needed or you can choose what to use on a per-app basis.- Wireless signal is full strength 50 ft from router (Gateway was 20-30%).- Fast whatever I do including building Windows applications.- The touchpad is fine as long as you change the delay to double tap - otherwise I agree that it would be too sensitive.- Windows 10 works well.- HDMI to enable viewing on TV, e.g. including watching ESPN3.- Not a lot of bloatware. Uninstalled only 3 or 4 things, none of which was noticeably slowing down the PC.Cons:- All plastic case doesn't feel sturdy but that does keep it light.- Wish it had SSD or instructions to add an SSD.- Power cord come out the side on the back corner. Minor I know but I like it on the back.- USB ports on the sides way up front. More likely to get accidentally hit. Again, minor.

  Good performance.. Great value for money.. But delicate.. Need some extra care.. No cd/dvd drive.. It is said to be charcoal gray but looks almost like black..

• Great Laptop, Read carefully before buying!!!
  Herminio Borges (Nov 29, 2015) on Amazon
  READ THIS BEFORE BUYING THIS LAPTOP!!!!!!!!It's an amazing laptop for the price (550 for me), however it has its pros and cons, you have to be willing to trade some features for anothers, this been said, here you go:Cons-Materials: It's NOT a 1000$ laptop, so you are NOT getting a 1000$ case!! If you expect so, then go away and buy a Alienware or ROG, this is a 600$ laptop intent to light gaming and daily duties... And please dont be that people that buy this laptop and keep complaining about its quality or sturdiness.however its perfectly fine for normal use, the keyboard and touchpad are a little loose when you press it, but again, not a dealbreaker for me, like i say, you have to trade a feature for another.-Touchpad: It's not a normal touchpad, is a "Precision touchpad", no that precise and configurable as i like, windows wont let you use the edge scrolling only two finger scrolling so get use to it.-NO DVD DRIVE (read carefully), it has not a optical drive in it, this laptop comes with a black tray, again not a dealbreaker for me, actually this was perfect for me because i replace the black tray with a 9.5mm WONENICE HDD CADDY and put in the 1tb drive in the slot (SATA 3GB/s), using my SSD in the main slot (SATA 6gb/s).PD: Dont worry about the front bezel, the black tray comes with a fully removable front bezel, so you take it out and attach to the HDD CADDY, remember to buy a 9.5mm caddy, cuz the 12.7mm wont fit in this laptop.PROS:-Perfectly match CPU and GPU for this price, Intel i7-5500u, Nvidia 940m... It took me about 2 weeks looking for the correct laptop, and at this price im more than happy with it. I could not find a better specs at 550$, in this price you can have a 6th generation SKYLAKE cpu with no GPU, IMHO always is better to have dedicate graphics, no matter the CPU have a 5% less performace, same thing with the HQ cpu's, obviously you get more horsepower but again at this price no gpu so....-Display: Again at this price i could not get a better specs, its a full-hp 1080p TN display, excellent display BTW, good no great view angles, good bright, good colors, no glare at all, great for gaming... for me and for the price is a perfect panel.. again, look and check for the price and you'll only find 768p displays.-Battery: great battery life with this 4-cell.. i get about 4-5 hours with medium load.. obviously gaming you get as much as 1 hour. however who plays in bat?? it is no logical thing to do.-Excellent electronic build quality: When i did the ssd-hdd switch (about 30 minutes after i got it) i took off the down cover exposing the motheboard, and what a pleasing surprise it has a excellent build quality!!!! 10 year long-lasting electronic, easily.-Temp: this topic amaze me more than it should!! the fan refuse to turn on even with 1080p video playback, temps in idle are 29-32 for CPU, with Nvidia optimus GPU wont turn on at least you open a game... while Playing (FC4, CODAW, ACU, WD) CPU temp stays at 70, GPU gets as high as 75. the chassis wont get hot at all and the fan is hard to tell its on with the game sounds and stuff.I think already talked a lot. so for conclusion, if you are a gamer and got a lot of money to invest go with a game-build laptop.. otherwise you want great overall performance for your money go with this one. i strongly recommend it.Final toughs:- Use an SSD with it. (boot time: 6sec- shutdown: 4sec)- Make a fresh windows install to remove all bloatware, dont worry about the windows 10 key, its embedded in the mobo so if you reinstall windows 10 HOME edition, no worries about the license, it not even ask for it.-put an addicional RAM stick, 4gb, 8gb, whatever but up to 16gb combine... this is to activate DUAL-CHANNEL access. its gets about 25% better performance.-it is pretty thin laptop, i love it.
