On budget notebooks based world. However, if it is not built, then at least keep the peace of entire populations who can not afford to overpay for computer technology. In Russia, low cost laptops beat all records of popularity among users, even a serious backlog of resources to date. However, the hardware-stuffing “budget” every day is getting worse, and it is not clear, due to which manufacturers significantly reduce costs without reducing quality.
From review, we note that the Acer Aspire 5742G laptop is a classic version of design. The first thing that catches your eye – plastic, clearly not belonging to the expensive segment. However, such an unflattering sense it brightens matt – matt surface than traditional brands. Plastic cover notebook corrugated matrix – a kind of attempt to make design refinement devices. Luster is also present – on the frame and display on the display itself. That did not contribute to aesthetic perception: fingerprints around the screen – a common occurrence, and glare interfere with the work very seriously.
In the opinion of the first owners of Acer Aspire 5742G – the build quality of this model is not the mark: there is still the same as in previous models: backlash, the intensive use – razbaltyvanie ports and connectors. However, this problem Acer Aspire 5742G, and almost all budget laptops. But frankly pleased with hinges: leans back cover tightly, and the angle can be up to 160 °.
Ergonomics of the location of interface designers thought frankly weak. The USB ports are located as close to each other and create some kind of discomfort when you connect, say, cable HDMI. The left side has a grille ventilation, adjacent to the VGA and LAN. Hot air is not good for any connector to the same number of available and USB ports. By the way, the laptop is heated in the air vent, with an average load quite noticeable.
On the front panel of the laptop card reader submitted for up to two types of memory cards – SD and MMC. On the right we see the end of the optical drive. Disappointing lack of full support for USB 3.0, eSata, installation of additional controllers, but it is worth remembering that the model of laptop – budget, so much upset about it makes no sense. But the module Bluetooth, present in most models, even budget notebooks, would come in handy, but somehow lacking.
Acer Aspire 5742G keyboard leaves a pleasant impression. A good key travel provides comfort when working with a keyboard, a digital block closer to the standard keyboard. Many will appreciate that the Ctrl key is finally back on the usual place in the lower left corner. Bring only the arrow keys significantly smaller: gamers prefer such an alignment is not necessary.
The touchpad panel character of our review has high sensitivity, and even clickable panel does not require a strong depression. Touchpad on the right panel has a dedicated scroll bar visually, making it easy as surfing the Internet and work with documents.
Display much sums up the laptop Acer Aspire 5742G. Firstly, the low brightness and contrast does not allow him to compete even with the models in its price segment. The number of colors is not too much for comfortable work with graphics. Is to be expected that the sunlight makes the screen virtually invisible. Viewing angles are very low: 40 ° horizontally we get is a dark image. The standard size of 15.6 inches is not quite the same resolution of 1366 × 768.

Accordingly, depending on the hardware and the price varies filling notebook Acer Aspire 5742G.

This prevents the unpleasant moment be called the hero of our review of the budget multimedia notebook, and automatically translates it into the category of relatively productive office machines.
