The internal or external microphones do not work. There is evidently a design or manufacturing fault with this laptop.

Owned my 5735 for over 18 months and it hasn't missed a beat. Im surprised at some of the other reviews. Battery, charger and speed have not been an issue. Works as well as the day i bought it. Would recommend this laptop as one of the best value for money laptops out there. Can only assume there's a batch of faulty laptop from manufacture. Great laptop.

when i first had it it was super fast. a year on and its now slow, even after changing graphics and such. might be down to music and photos perhaps :s the battery is now dead. it cant hold charge for more than 1 minute. goin to try and get a new battery because it was a good laptop. the screen is nice and clear as well.

I find this laptop to be extremely good, extremely quick, easy to use, good disk space.
I have had a couple of issues however, my left click is a bit temperamental, but I use a logitech marble anyway so that's no real issue, my battery can no longer hold charge, but I permanently leave it plugged in so it is probably my own fault, and I have just broke my 2nd charger, again mostly my fault.
So while it can be a bit prone to breakages, if you look after it well, it is an amazing laptop.

we had some problems with acer aspire 5735.
charger went off after 2 months
touch pad didnt work + software problems
contacted acer customer service = no use at all, couldn't understand their english so i gave up.
wouldn't recommend to anyone to buy.-their customer service is rubbish.

Fantastic bit of kit well worth the money.
Some minor software problems but nothing to do with the laptop.

The Acer Aspire 5735 laptop is very easy to use but it seems like the battery charger wears out easily and you cant charge it!

ACER Aspire has a long battery life, large screen, fast file access, plenty of storage. Brilliant value for money, probably underpriced.

ACER Aspire 5735 is excellent value for money - bought it for mainly for business use. However, its powerful specifications have proven to be much more than expected - can easily handle modern multimedia gaming!
