Acer offers another potential laptop for consideration with the Acer Aspire 5738PZG. This notebook boasts of a 15.6″ display whose main highlight is perhaps its touchscreen capability and a large comfortable keyboard for users.

Carrying a pretty simple and basic design, the Acer Aspire 5738PZG carries a mid-level Pentium dual-core T4400 2.2GHz chip.

This is further backed by 4GB of RAM, a 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics chip and a 500GB hard drive.

As for optical media peripherals, it comes with a 4x Blu-ray/DVD SuperMulti (double layer) drive and the usual ports which include a memory card reader, four USB ports, fingerprint reader, HDMI and VGA out, RJ-11 modem and Ethernet port.

But before you say that you are impressed, brace yourself for a poor battery that goes with it.

It seems that the big screen sucks more juice than expected while the touchscreen thing on Windows 7 comes more of a gimmick rather than a must-have feature most consumers are looking for.
