Acer Aspire 5720Z Gemstone Low-Cost Laptop
Posted by: Sierra in Acer

Coming in a cool housing with rounded margins, this new laptop runs with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2310 processor at 1.46GHz speed and has a RAM memory of 2GB DDR2 with 667MHz which is enough to install Windows Vista Home Premium on it and benefit from this operating system’s applications and superb interface.
There is also an 80GB S-ATA HDD storage space and a DVD+/-RW Super Multi Double Layer, to keep Acer models up to date with the latest technology requirements.
The laptop shows a 15.4-inch Wide TFT display of 1280 x 800 pixels resolution and the graphics are delivered by integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100.

For connectivity it comes with the 802.11b/g wireless module, Gigabit Ethernet, four high-speed USB ports, Firewire, and a card reader compatible with MMC, MS, MS-pro, SD and XD card types.
The notebook weights 2.8Kg and has no Bluetooth support and no built-in camera.

I purchased this laptop (Acer Aspire 5720Z) November 2007 and have had nothing but trouble since.
- The computer overheats and shuts off randomly without warning. I cannot have the battery and the power cord plugged in at the same time, as the power pack on the cord begins to hum loudly. If I have just battery in as it heats up as well. If both are plugged in at the same time the entire underneath part of the laptop heats up and has melted off my Windows Key sticker, my serial number sticker and has turned the other ones black. The keyboard and to the left side of the keypad heat up to the point of burning skin after only 30 minutes of use.
- Disc drive will not play any burned discs and they freeze after about 30 minutes of use, even though they will play in a regular DVD player, or another computer.
Overall I am completely unsatisfied with this laptop and would NOT recommend it to anyone! I am truly disappointed with Acer.
