Notebook Hunter

The Acer AS5741-432G50Mn notebook is a true bargain for $797, and if you get your cashback it drops to a rock bottom $698. An Intel Core i5-430M (2.26GHz) processor provides a lot of computing power, making it possible to watch HD movies and edit photos among other things. The Intel HD graphics are enough to play games like The Sims 3 on low settings, so overall you get well rounded functionality.

A 500GB hard drive is large for this price, so it’s unlikely you’ll run out of space for programs, movies, and other files. The 2GB of RAM is enough for the low-end gaming this notebook is good for. A 15.6in (1366x768 resolution) screen ensures that you won’t have trouble seeing what you’re doing. The weight is a little above average at 2.6kg, but the 381mm width, 253mm depth, and 34mm thickness are all normal for this kind of notebook, and it’s certainly portable.

For the asking price of $797 you’re getting a notebook with a powerful processor that gives you the computing power for just about everything except for high-end gaming. The well rounded specs cover all bases, so you can feel confident that you’re getting a good deal with this one.
