Does anyone around here looking for a laptop and a very small economy? Well that's the new Acer Aspire 5734Z 15.6-inch CineCrystal display. It is not near what they are powerful computers today, but it was well not have a price about $ 500.
What carries inside the Acer Aspire AS5734Z-4512 ? For starters, the processor I use is one of the new Intel® Pentium® processor T4200/T4300/T4400/T4500 (1 MB L2 cache, 2/2.10/2.20/2.30 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 35 W), supporting Intel® 64 architecture ultra-low voltage so we can make your battery last longer, which is a 6-cell unit with a capacity of 4400mAh. Next to the CPU is an Intel integrated HD and we will also discover 2GB of DDR3 SDRAM and up to 320GB hard drive.
Regarding the screen, it measures 15.6 inches and has a resolution of 1366 x 768. Going to the design, uses a single chassis, has chiclet keyboard, trackpad, weighs 2.7 kilograms.
As you have seen, the Acer Aspire AS5734Z-4512 is a laptop with technology basic, easy to carry and can be purchased at low prices, all of which makes it ideal for anyone who needs a computer for work, play content media,surf Internet,enjoy a game casual, etc.

My Review
There are some positive things about this laptop and some not so good ones.
The best thing is probably that it plays all my discs and DVDs, even those that some DVD players don't want to play. The screen quality is really good and in HD. But, like others mentioned before, the speakers are of an awful quality. As soon as the laptop makes a slight buzzing noice, you cannot hear anything. I use a pair of old headphones I still had and with those the sound quality is excellent (though not much use if more than 1 person wants to watch the dvd).
The longest I have used the laptop without cable is 2.5 hours but that was mostly on stand by. When I played dvds, I never managed to watch a complete film, not even with a fully charged battery.
I noticed that the mains cable comes off very easily, numerous times when I had the laptop on my lap, the cable came out without me noticing.
It has a decent size keybored, useful if you don't have tiny hands!
I am a bit disappointed with the speed, the processor is clearly not the best, the laptop is not that much faster than my 5 year old PC, and I don't do much with it at the moment apart from watching my DVDs and go on FB, Ebay etc.
Also, I really don't like Windows 7 Home Premium, it's not user friendly and very, very basic. Actually, it's not free software at all, after 3 month you have to purchase it! But don't bother, it's rubbish! I had it removed and Windows 7 Professionals installed instead which is much better.
I also find downloading photos from my mobile is a real hassle, it won't accept the installation disc from my mobile phone, I never had difficulties on any other PC before. And since I had my mew software, it has not been a problem any more.
The webcam is also not very good, sometimes it's not working when I skype.
I don't do any games at all, so I cannot comment on it's suitability for that.
Overall, with my new software, I use it a lot, for pleasure and work and it serves me well.

Headphones-only cats

 

No kidding. Hearing aids for cats exist, and are priced at only $1000 dollars a pair. The Meowingtons as they are called, are more expensive than most headsets on the market and are designed for the cat of music producer Deadmau5.
The manufacturing company, Sol Republic, has made ​​only 10 pairs, but public demand increases, and said they will gladly manufacture more. The proceeds will go to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
