So far my brother loves his Acer laptop and I loved the price as big sis had to buy him one so he had something to work on and Skype back n' forth so we could stay in touch.

The display is bright, the keyboard has a good feel and the large off-center touchpad makes a lot of sense for anyone that operates a mouse with their right hand.

Screen is big and bright and the weight isn't too bad for the size.

Pavilion g6 by Janis--Programmer---Graphic-Designer---Web-Developer (Nov, 2011)

I bought this computer as a secondary computer to augment my online business, because I tend to overdrive processor speeds with too much work all at once.

I purchased this computer from OfficeDepot, and I purchased this one because I knew that a dual core processor would be very powerful, and it was fabulous for the amount of money I would be paying for it.

I can't tell that this is such an inexpensive laptop, since all these programs respond perfectly even though I am probably using the maximum ram.

Reviews Word on the street

	HP Pavilion g6		Acer Aspire S 5733Z
	Rated 79% by 229 users at amazon.com The screen is on-par with most other laptops in this price range, although the horizontal viewing angle surprised me, with little to no visible loss in image quality. Rated 80% by by Jevan-Sinnock (Oct, 2012) The webcam that is located at the top of the screen is not the greatest of webcams. Rated 80% by by Kelly-B. (Dec, 2011) First, although it is of medium weight, the construction of the laptop feels very light and slightly cheap. Rated 80% by by Kelly-B. (Dec, 2011)		Rated 77% by 29 users at amazon.com There are 3 USB ports but no HDMI, which I don't mind, but some might. Rated 100% by by Mignonette (Nov, 2011) It's a great computer but it still has all the normal glitches of a Windows based system. Rated 80% by by Sammy-Lindon-Jr (Dec, 2012) The spacing on the keyboard is somewhat tighter than on HP and Dell laptops; it can be hard to adjust to this.
