- br br Amazing Deal Review - Acer AS5253-BZ602 15.6-Inch Laptopbr br You won't read about these on Acer's website, and perhaps I'm a bit nitpicky when it comes to computer aesthetics, but the machine runs just fine. Durability is a tossup these days, so I'll skip all that and give you one or two quirks about the computer. These are the things that I notice immediately when I buy a new machine, so hopefully it will help you out.br br Pros:br -The full numerical pad is welcome. A lot of laptops don't have this feature and I find it useful.br -USB ports: it's got three of them; two on the left and one on the right which is ideal for power users.br -The AC adapter is tiny but features a three prong outlet, bear in mind that you'll have to use an adapter for two plug outlets.br -Battery life is going to be a lot longer than advertised for light use. I seem to be getting about 5 hours out of it, as long as the display is kept dim.br -Feels slimmer than other laptops, though you can gather that from the specs I'm sure.br -It's got this texture covering that actually contributes to grip in a good way.br -Even on 2GB ram (with a slot for another stick) it runs fast.br -Quick sleep "button" (it's actually a function keystroke but still nice).
