With the new Aspire 5755 range, Acer tries to add more value into laptops targeted at budget-conscious consumers. It sports the newer 2nd generation Intel Core i3-2310M 2.1-GHz processor, exclusive software like Dolby Advanced Audio V2, and a Chiclet or isolated keyboard.
It’s goof to see that Acer’s laptops are no
longer drab and boring. With the Aspire 5755, Acer’s offering customers a choice
of five different colours – green, blue, brown, red and black. Although Acer
has done a good job to hide the laptop’s predominant plastic appearance, its
feel isn’t as good as the higher-priced Dell Inspiron 15R or Gateway ID59C.
The keys are well spaced and good to type
on, having a different feel compared to the keyboards found on the Sony VAIO S,
Lenovo IdeaPad U260 or Samsung RC510. Frequently used keys are easy to hit and
the tactile feedback is nice. The palmrest is slightly raised like a VAIO S
laptop – to snuggle your wrists better while typing.
Don’t expect the Acer Aspire 5755 to offer
the moon, it’s after all aimed at budget conscious customers. Suffice to say
that the Aspire 5755 packs in a basic punch in terms of its internal hardware.

| ASUS Aspire 5755 & 4755 |
With a PC Mark Vantage score of 5179, the
Aspire 5755 outperforms both the Dell Inspiron 15R and Samsung RC510. Watching
movies and videos is fine, the laptop can handle both 720p and 1080p HD
playback support. Audio from th e laptop’s onboard speakers isn’t exceptional.
Taking all things into account, Acer’s aggressive pricing of the Aspire 5755 is
the key here – it will be hard to get a similar configuration for a laptop sold
by Dell, Lenovo, or HP, and with so many features.
