Acer Aspire 5735-4624
Editors' rating: 4
The good: Bargain-basement price; decent performance; 16:9 display will appeal to movie lovers; does Draft N Wi-Fi.
The bad: Flimsy, plastic chassis; clacky mouse buttons; somewhat low screen resolution; keyboard feels a bit cramped because it must make room for separate number pad.
The bottom line: A mainstream laptop at a Netbook price, the Acer Aspire 5735 provides the basics plus a movie-friendly 16:9 aspect display.
