I have owned this computer for three months and it has performed very well. Including on our recent three and half week trip to Israel. On our trip I used the computer to connect to the internet for e-mail, make hotel reservations, make Skype calls, download photos (RAW) and develop the photos using Adobe Lightroom 3 and Adobe PSE 7. The computer performed all of these tasks quickly and flawlessly. Screen resolution was fine for photo editing and photo display. With the 500 GB HD I was able to download all of the RAW format photos (2960 photos at 10MB each). The speakers, microphone and web cam worked well with Skype. I was worried about how well it would stand up to our trip but it did very well without so much as a hiccup.
Battery life is shorter than I would like (about 2 hrs and 50 min) but I often used the power cord so that was not a problem. The power supply is also dual voltage so I only needed an adapter plug for the 220 V in Israel. I also found the mouse pad a pain to use at times but I got somewhat used to it. Windows 7 is much better than Vista. I do wish it came with a Windows 7 disk and not just the recovery disk which I had to make.
For the price (I paid $599; Amazon) and the power of the laptop, I would recommend this computer.Get more detail about Acer AS5740-6025 15.6-Inch Laptop (Blue).
