Acer TravelMate 5720 Review

A review of the Acer TravelMate 5720 Notebook has been posted over at Notebook Review. 'The touchpad is nice. I have always been a fan of Acer's multi-directional button for scrolling documents or web pages that sits between the left and right click buttons, and the button sizes are nice for someone with stubby fingers like me. The keyboard itself is very responsive and not too soft or too hard, but the keyboard layout is absolutely awful. It is a curved keyboard, and I am having extreme problems adjusting from a regular, non-ergonomic keyboard. Also, the enter key is the larger style, which would be fine, normally, but it is so far to the left that after three weeks of owing the machine I am still making a plethora of spelling errors and missing the enter key when typing quickly.

On the other hand, the keyboard includes some really neat keys, like the dollar and euro sign next to the arrows, and the left side of the keyboard includes functionality keys for Acer's E-Management software, so that everything can be accessed within seconds, without removing your focus from what you are working on.'
