This week Newegg is featuring the Acer Aspire AS5739G-6959 for $649.99. That’s actually a $150 savings off the usual $799.99 price. It’s nearly identical to the Acer AS5739G-6132 which ranked #1 in our Best 5 Laptops on Newegg – October Edition. This machine’s main two drawing points are the bright 15.6″ LED backlight display (1366 x 768 resolution) and the powerful 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M video card. News flash! This video card is a pure beast according to this user opinion on Tom’s Hardware. It runs World of Warcraft on highest settings! The CPU is a 2.2GHz Intel Dual Core with 4GB RAM and a 320GB Hard drive. The AS5739-6959 also comes with Windows 7 and today’s standard lineup: 720p Webcam, Wireless N, an HDMI port, and 5.1 surround sound (coming out of two built-in stereo speakers and one Tuba CineBass Booster).
User Opinions
The AS5739-6959 currently has 125 reviews with a stellar 5 Egg rating at Newegg. Users love the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M video card! It’s got the immense horsepower to play most games (World of Warcraft, Half Life 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Galatic Civilizations 2) at the highest settings! The laptop delivers sound that is loud and of great quality, screen is bright and beautiful, and the webcam takes amazing 720p video. The chiclet keyboard can be a little tough to get used to, video card will need it’s drivers updated, and bloatware will need to be removed. The AS5739-6959’s high powered components limits the battery life to 3 hours when gaming and 5 hours when using non-graphics intensive applications. System noise is quiet and everything runs smooth.

Here’s some recent user opinions:

• “Great computer for the price, got it for $650 and was worth every penny. Great speed and boot time. I got the 240, TN warehouse, so im happy about that. Fingerprint reader works great not that I have much use for it other than not having to type in my password every time I boot my computer. Very fast and very clean. Love it.”

• “Great price, Full sounding speakers, 720P web cam, 4GB DDR 3 memory, fingerprint scanner for easy log in, 10 key, touch audio control. Plays HL2 games on high settings 40+ fps.”

• “Solid feel to the construction, Beautiful blue exterior, adds style but not gaudy. Good form factor and good port placement. Screen resolution is fine, nothing mind blowing but satisfactory. Hard drive is a large 5400 but the 5400 performance really isn’t bad. WD Blue HD. Good bang for the buck.”

• “First off the price for the included features best bang for the buck. It’s got a fast boot time, runs quiet and runs smooth, and Windows 7 is working flawless so far. The surround sound best is the best I’ve ever heard on a laptop and the keys are easy to get used to.”

• “Very fast. Runs World of Warcraft on a very high setting. Sound is very loud for a laptop. Overall a nice laptop.”
