Comments about Acer Aspire AS7736-6948 Notebook Computer (Gemstone Blue):
I wanted a laptop to use when I'm in the livingroom and kitchen,not so much to take out of the house. I got the bigger screen and the full keyboard for ease of use. So far I really am very satisfied with all the features on this computer.The sound is very good also. I did buy a mouse although the touch pad works well. Battery life is short ..only about 3hrs. but as I use the Acer at home it's not a problem. Like the Windows 7 operating system.
Have had it only two weeks so need more time to see how it will compare to my desktop.
The Acer seems well made and very solid at a reasonable price.

Comments about Acer Aspire AS7736-6948 Notebook Computer (Gemstone Blue):
The laptop's value comes into play via the 17" widescreen monitor, which is glossy and colorfully bright, the Dolby surround sound, more than adequate stereo speakers, HDMI-out, and all the other typical options in a mid-range laptop.
It's a big laptop, but sturdy and well-built like most Acer products I've owned, it's also quite sharp and sleek looking.
The keyboard is comfortable, large and quiet, although the raised keys lend themselves to crumbs and dirt getting inside. I like to use the two finger scroll and the scrollbar option on the right-hand side of the pad.
The HDMI-output is a huge plus, hooking up easily to my large screen Plasma TV.
There's no Blu-Ray drive or true HD capabilities here, but it will play high res videos back effortlessly.
I also like the build in camera. I use skype a lot, and the built in option just makes it easier.
It's a good value for all you get, but it is like owning a portable entertainment system with fast, easy to access Wi-Fi capabilities, and the speed and stability of Windows 7. It also boots up quickly, runs quietly (even the DVD drive) and again is just an all-around great value.

Comments about Acer Aspire AS7736-6948 Notebook Computer (Gemstone Blue):
The screen is bad - it reflects lights almost like a mirror. One can actually see himself quite clearly reflected in the screen. Besides the picture on the screen is not stable. I am disappointed!
