For instance, the particular review model we received only comes in black. The colour schemes available for a model will vary according to the configuration though. So other color schemes are offered, namely Amazon Green, Pacific Blue, Desert Brown, Sunset Red and Monsoon Black. Acer has named this series as part of their "Gorgeous by Nature" line. The laptop has a two hinge design of the sort seen in earlier Acer models.
The Acer 5755G does weigh 2.6-kg with a six-cell battery, but it has a comparatively slender form. A dark bezel borders the 15.6-inch LED backlit screen and the palm rest has a grey finish bordered by black strips on either sides. The laptop features a full sized keyboard with the multi-gesture touchpad located below the keyboard, positioned towards the left end. The back-lid does attract a lot of finger impressions and smudges, and the same holds true for the palm rest, although to a much lesser extent. The lid has a pattern of wave like lines going across the black background.
The 5755G features a black back-lid with the Acer logo displayed on the middle section.
There's a 1.3-megapixel (MP) webcam placed at the top of the laptop's screen bezel. The power button is located at the top right of the keyboard, on top of the speakers, which is aligned across almost the entire horizontal length of the chassis. This might however have been only specific to the particular review model we received. It's not like you will be splitting hairs over this, but I noticed that the section above the speakers, positioned parallel to the F9 and nearby keys, seems to sink in when pressed.
While the laptop does look good, its build quality is fair – standard stuff when considering mainstream laptops. Otherwise, the screen is good for both reading text and viewing images/videos. The viewing angles are decent enough – but given that the screen tilts back to almost 70-80 degrees, finding a suitable viewing angle should not be too much of a hassle. The 5755G provides a not particularly bright 15.6-inch glossy screen that supports a maximum screen resolution of 1366x768 pixels.
The sound output from the built in speakers, with the Dolby Advanced audio disabled, is appropriate for a small Additionally, playing videos on a full-HD TV by connecting through the laptop's HDMI port, provides for a smooth playback. Watching both 720p and 1080p HD videos is comfortable. And that, dear readers, is why I'd suggest playing games on this laptop, albeit at a lower resolution and graphics effects, to obtain a playable experience.
Similarly, Metro 2033 at 1366x768, DirectX 11, Very High Quality, AAA, AF 4X, and all settings maxed out registered 8.64 fps. When I benchmarked FarCry 2 at 1366x768, DirectX 10 mode, AA 2x, and 'Ultra High' settings, I saw an average frame rate of 34.27 fps. Playing games at low to medium settings, would make for comparatively smooth sailing for gamers. The 2GB RAM of the GeForce GT 540M sounds good, but that does not result in a performance boost by itself, the GPU's power is the main factor at play.
We saw it score 3290 points for the Intel HD 3000 and 7558 points while running on the NVIDIA GPU. The performance difference between the Intel integrated graphics and NVIDIA GT540M discreet graphics in 3DMark06 was large as expected. The laptop's hard disk recorded an average read speed of 82.5 MB/s, and a PC Mark Vantage score of 6762. In the synthetic benchmark WorldBench 6, it scored 112 - one of the highest scores we have recorded on laptops so far. Managing your day to day multitasking needs should be a very comfortable task for the Acer 5755G - coping with multiple processor and memory intensive tasks shouldn’t be a problem.
In most benchmark tests, the Acer 5755G posted better scores than most mainstream laptops we have reviewed. When the laptop was put to test, it came out with flying colours.
