  Acer Aspire 5738PZG Touch Laptop [Review]

  Rohan Naravane, Jan 14, 2010 1555 hrs IST

  Acer gets touchy with their desktop replacement laptop

  Decent touch response, fair pricing, comfortable keyboard, decent battery life for a desktop replacement

  Touch-screen lacks practicality, prolonged use of touch-screen is strenuous, under-powered graphics, no Expresscard slot

  Check specifications

Last week we put the Acer Aspire 5738DG, a 3D-ready laptop, through its paces. Today we're checking out its cousin, the 5738PZG. This model tries to ride the crazy touch bandwagon that people have been attracted to ever since the conception of the iPhone. No, the 5738PZG isn't a tablet notebook, where you'd usually find a touch-enabled LCD screen. Instead it's a regular desktop replacement model with a touch-screen fitted in. Is it merely a gimmick or does it have a functional advantage? We'll find out.
