Acer Aspire AS5742-6475 Review, Specs and Price

Acer Aspire AS5742-6475
Aspire AS5742-6475 has 802.11 Wi-Fi Technology for wireless connectivity, although it is interesting to note that it lacks BlueTooth which is relatively common in most media gadgets today.

Despite some nondescript features, this computer laptop boasts the highest-clocked 2.53GHz Intel Core i3-380M processor which means that it can run several applications simultaneously without any problems. For this reason, the device is great for making complicated spreadsheets and video and photo editing; in fact, it can also run the Adobe Photoshop CS5 which is one of the best professional standard image-editing software.

Meanwhile, the Aspire AS5742-6475’s battery life is quite “acceptable” and can last about five hours of continuous use. While this may not be outstanding compared to other high-end, expensive laptops, this is already considered better since its rivals (computers that have almost similar features) including Lenovo G560-0679AKU which can only last approximately three and a half hours and Sony EB33FM/BJ which can last about four and a half hours.

But one probable deal-breaker is the laptop’s bland design—an all-black chassis that lacks decorative patterns and colors and even a glossy finish. However, this may not be a huge concern for consumers who are after the affordability and “utilitarian” purpose, and may even appreciate the textured top which prevents smudges.

When it comes to portability, the Aspire AS5742-6475 is lighter compared to most 15-inch laptops since it only weighs 5 pounds. Meanwhile, some of its rivals even weigh 5.6 to nearly 6 pounds which already makes them cumbersome.
