Comments about Acer Aspire AS5738PG-6306 Notebook Computer (Gemstone Blue):
Likes: Dual core processor, good graphics, touch screen is awesome, numeric key pad, 4 USB ports, pretty good speakers
I can't find much to dislike. I do wish the keyboard had buttons for play, stop, ect. And sometimes, when I'm just typing, something random comes up. Like I may hit shift D and a new window pops up that asks if I want to bookmark a page. Or I may be typing and all of a sudden the cursor ends up in a different place. But likes definitely outway the dislikes. Overall, great computer.
