Acer AS5732Z-4867 15.6-Inch Laptop Review

Acer AS5732Z-4867 15.6-Inch

UPDATE: Purchased this mic Olympus ME-52 Noise Cancellation Microphone from amazon and use it with the included black windscreen cover via the mic jack (without the extension cord). It works very well, but would have preferred the built-in kind.A little disappointed as I recently ordered and received from amazon this Acer AS5732Z-4867 and was satisfied that it was a good, basic laptop, at a budget price. However, I discovered today, that Acer was good enough to give me a nice, integrated webcam with this model, but NO microphone, only a microphone jack to connect an external mic. Over the internet, I let a friend a choose between my integrated webcam and a well-respected USB VGA webcam I’d previously bought. I didn’t say which was which, nor give techincal details, just: “which do you prefer?”. My party chose my integrated webcam, to my surprise (and delight). Almost all integrated webcams are crappy, and I’ve never heard of one which is actually excellent.

This laptop does not come with recovery disks or even a backup partition. A recovery disk can be obtained from the Acer website for a fee, but I was unable to order it since the site wouldn’t recognize my laptop’s serial number. Some select drivers are available for direct download, but I feel a recovery disk should be included with any new laptop or at least provided for free upon request.

The laptop’s physical design is good overall but the laptop’s outside case material is not of the sturdiest plastic. Compared to my wife’s Dell, the plastic feels flimsy. I don’t think this will be a big problem in the long run, but wish the case was a bit more rugged. There are no lights to indicate when the caps lock and number lock are on, which has been very annoying. Everything else is comparable to a standard laptop, with no outstanding additional features.
