Acer Aspire 5532 Nov 04, 2009
By Pretty Brown Eyes This is a great notebook if you're like me and need something where you can do homework, watch YouTube videos and play a few games. Although its not the best of notebooks it does get the job done. Price is the one thing that did get me with this laptop. I recently got rid of my Dell and bought an HP netbook which came to an untimeley demise because of my dog. I was going to get another netbook but then saw this one with a comparable price to a few netbooks out there. Windows 7 runs very smooth, also it is a lightweight laptop so you don't have to worry about lugging around a heavy bulky laptop. One thing I will say is that if you are going to buy this notebook look at your local Best Buy for it, my husband paid $375 for it with tax.

decent but not amazing by any standard. Nov 05, 2009
By Dustin P. Hansen like the others i was sold on the low price and considerable amount of ram, both on the graphic end and the computing end. i find it difficult to multitask on this computer that is, until i did a fresh install of win 7. definitely not designed for windows 7. i can imagine this computer being a lot faster running either 32 bit xp or 64 bit xp. whatever. i made negative points due to "factory settings." once i got a little more intimate with this machine. (THATS WHAT SHE SAID JOKE) i found it to be amazing. my daws run well. only exception being the resource intensive plugins BUT HEY. the processor is upgradable! so whatever. no sound card crackles! no lags when i record or play last gen games! four stars for a reason. its a solid machine. me and my band use it for samples/bassdrops live via midi input. it can take a beating. the keys feel a little cheap but thats no biggie. the internal network card is not good for long range. but hey, they arent really meant to be? the display is awesome, the speakers KINDA suck but grab some earbuds and youre good to go. I PERSONALLY LUCKED OUT. a lot of people have complaints with this. its a pos!, it broke, the power input solder is cracked, the usb input is broken, the screen flickers, etc. I USE THIS IN A CONCERT SETTING. IT IS NOT A PIECE OF S***. its a solid computer "for the price." best thing one step up from a netbook.

I've had this notebook for a few months now... Feb 18, 2010
By Damselflylight I purchased this notebook at the beginning of January and have enjoyed it so far. I do have a few suggestions for the folks out there having problems with it lagging or running too slow. First, realize that this does not have the best video card installed, and it is not upgradable, so you may have issues with watching HD videos directly off the internet. Internet speeds vary from house to house and can affect your video watching ability. Videos work quite a bit smoother if you download them first(if you have that option) then view in Windows Media Player.
Additionally, this is only a single core processor, so one of the first things I did was get rid of the McAfee and install the Avast Home Free edition virus software (available to anyone for free at [...]). Additionally, when I tried to use the Window Media Center, it used up all of my available rom/ram and caused serious slow downs (like taking 3 minutes to shut down). Once again, I uninstalled the Windows Media Center (though kept the Media Player installed) and downloaded the video codex files for Windows 7 Media Player (also from [...]) so any DVD I watch is through the Media Player. It runs very smooth when I watch videos now! The other program I installed was Advanced System Care (also free from [...]... and no I do not work for them). This will go through and remove any junk files, registry errors, spyware, etc... Great free program for keeping your system running bug free! After these three simple changes I have not had a single problem with this laptop.
I hope this helps you folks out there considering this laptop, or if you already have this laptop. :-)

Great new HyperTransport technology! Feb 06, 2010
By Vladas Mazelis
"reviewer07"
What a great new technology is that AMD HyperTransport, which eliminates number of buses on the system and avoids data transfer bottlenecks, plaguing old FSB systems. Surprisingly, this AMD TF-20 1.6GHz system is noticeably faster and running smoother than similarly priced Intel Celeron 900-based systems with 2.2 GHz processor and double sized L2 cache.
Also, this laptop has a great ATI Radeon 3200 graphics chip, which also helps to balance and speed up the processing load of the system.
Our Acer is running perfectly. I bought it for my wife, who uses it for videos, MP3's, browsing internet, word processing and not much else.
I set it up by first downloading and installing a free, wonderful Revo uninstaller, available everywhere. Then I uninstalled all the preinstalled junk, like McAfee antivirus, MS Office trial, Adobe Acrobat Reader and other useless and bulky stuff. Did it using option 4 on the Revo uninstaller, which removes all the leftovers of any software from the registry. Then I installed her the following wonderful freeware: Firefox and Chrome for browsing, PDF Xchange viewer, VLC Player for audio and video, Irfanview for photo viewing and basic editing, Abiword for word processing, Glary utilities for system maintenance, Avast antivirus, Spyware Blaster, Wordweb (a thesaurus and dictionary), Skype and that's about it. Of course, updated all drivers and Windows 7. And here it is - a frugal but smooth running, fast, modern and really wonderful Acer notebook.

Great Deal! Oct 27, 2009
By B. Haworth I got this laptop about 24hrs ago, and love it! It is great for the basic stuff like running word and internet. The price is what sold me on this laptop. Its screen is great and with the 3GB of ram it runs fast. I downsized processor from 1.8GHz to this 1.6GHz but I could not tell just by running it. Windows 7 has been fun to play with also! I really like the side by side open windows. Overall you can't get a better deal!
