Dear Tweakers, For my Computer Science program it seemed useful to have a laptop to have. On the training'm getting ie assume that you have one available, and moreover it is simply convenient to have your own device. This in connection with any such restrictions and limitations on the systems of school. I had a laptop, an HP DV6720ed, which has served me well over the years but still some age-related ailments starting to show. As a result, I decided to go to a new laptop to search for that useful for school, fast and can be used for a game. Occasionally used After a time, having searched the Internet around I had my senses put on Acer V7 582PG 74508. The laptop looked neat, inside and outside. Unfortunately I had to wait for two months before I could order since the laptop was not available in the Netherlands the laptop. Order by overseas seemed no option because it seems that this particular model is designed for Dutch consumers. Eventually I got the laptop on 09-09-2013 ordered from (then) Ebuyer. The laptop was delivered on 11-09-2013. The rest of the review will consist of the following chapters: - Unboxen - Appearance - Specifications / Connections - First Start - software (bloatware) - Screen - SSD Performance - Game performance - Connections - Keyboard - Touchpad - Multimedia - Heat and noise - Mobility and battery life - Final Unboxen The laptop was packed into a slim sleek package. Unfortunately there was pasted a packing slip which approximately took a quarter of the front of the pack. Anyway, this is nothing to mark the direction of Acer as this it is stuck by Ebuyer on. Also, I even think it's a problem that it was over, I just found the sin of the appearance of the box. Pictures Package: Photo of the contents of Package: The package contained the following: - AC Adapter - Acer converter cable - Set uphandleiding - Quick Guide - Warranty Information booklet - And do not overlook the laptop itself Picture of the extracted contents: Photo of the unzipped laptop: Appearance Even before that I had ordered the laptop, was given the impression to me that the laptop would have. a very sleek appearance Now the laptop inside this impression was confirmed. Almost the entire housing is made of aluminum, with the exception of the bottom, it is made of plastic which has a good grip which cared not move around when you're working on the laptop. Also, the device is quite thin and light weight which is positive contributes to the mobility. During the two housing indicative lights are built, one for power status and to see if the battery is already full while charging. Lights that indicate whether Caps, Scroll or Numlock turned missing. Personally, I think this is a very big loss since you this notice soon enough while working. Photo Laptop - front view: Photo Laptop - side (left): Photo Laptop - side view (right): Photo Laptop - rear view: Specifications / connections What certainly reason has been instrumental in making my choice for this laptop, the specifications were. I believe these are very good for a device as compact as this. Below are all the same specifications at a glance: Processor: Intel i7 4500u - Dual core 1.8 GHz - max turbo freq. 3.0 GHz Memory: 8GB DDR3 Low Voltage Memory Storage: 256GB Toshiba SSD Screen: 15.6'' Full HD IPS Touchscreen Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4400 / nVidia GT750m Optical Drive: None Webcam: Acer Crystal Eye HD webcam Furthermore laptop accommodates sufficient number connections, namely: - 2x USB2.0 - 1x USB3.0 - SD card slot - 1x HDMI - 1x Acer converter (VGA) port - WiDi (Wireless Display) - LAN port - 1x 3.5mm jack (earphones) - Bluetooth - Kensington lock attachment points The only connection that I miss is that for a single microphone so you can put your own microphone plug (headset). Now I never use it, but I can imagine that there are people who appreciate here. What is a good solution, the Acer converter port (which actually seems to be a mini display port). When I read that this laptop disposal, I actually expected that this would be where you would need to purchase. Accessories gate However, Acer has already sent immediately what some people will appreciate solid. because this is a converter cable VGA converter to the gate. This makes it possible to rejoin which only has a VGA connector to a monitor. I've searched the connections are still possible, but I could not find as 1-2-3. Photo connections - back: ( From left to right: LAN port, USB3.0, converter port, HDMI, Kensington lock attachment points, electric) First start After the set-uphandleiding read, I turned on the laptop. Certainly it is useful to read herein this manual namely state mentioned that you must connect before you start the system for the first time. AC adapter startup went pretty smoothly, I got to see an Acer logo twice and I could start setting up Windows. I was asked to choose to set up a WiFi network and my outlook account to link a color scheme. What struck me is that the touchpad felt a bit stroefjes. turned out that this was because it was new, it now feels namely smoother. The laptop has about 185GB of total 221GB after startup. Photograph of the laptop after first start: software (bloatware) Like most laptops (Acer) there get a decent software preinstalled. Nine times out of ten you have nothing to this software. However, it can sometimes lead to a discovery of a useful program or fun game . Unfortunately, that is in my opinion not the case on this laptop. This is what is included: - Office 365 trial - McAfee Internet Security Suite for 60 days - Acer Cloud - Acer Explorer - Acer Anti-Theft - NewsXpresso - 7Digital - Zinio - Kindle - WildTangent Games (Including a number of games including Bejeweled, Cut The Rope and Plants vs. Zombies.) - Spotify - Music Maker Jam - eBay - Social Jogger - Acer Crystal Eye - WeatherBug - Skype Although this is not yet all, it is already a decent list in my opinion. Naturally, here are a number of programs between like Skype and TuneIn I do use. however we do not use discovery for both apps I knew already what the way is a drawback of the Skype version installed, is that this is the Metro version. This version is merely possible to log in with an outlook account. You are required to install to log in to other accounts. desktop version Screen As you may have read earlier in the review, the laptop has a Full HD 15.6'' touchscreen. Everything looks very tight and detailed. What some people might be a downside is that the screen has quite a mirror finish. I find this not mind, I think it's rather nice, but I know that there are people who think this is just annoying. The viewing angles are in my good, but when you look too sharp on the screen, you see a reflection of what is the other side of the screen. This is mainly due to the mirror finish of the screen, not the clarity in this respect is therefore a downside. The screen is roughly around 150 degrees tilt which is useful when you want to watch quickly contained. Anything on the screen Otherwise, you need to install yourself constantly in your chair before you can read. Quickly something Furthermore, the display remains standing on the position where you put it. The touchscreen works well and serve. Fingers even with 10 (!) This just does not seem very practical since I no longer can see the screen because my hands before sitting. than It also leaves a lot of fingerprints on the screen which are difficult, but are visible when you sit in front of the screen. When you look at the screen from a different (sharper) angle are certainly visible fingerprints. However, it is in some games more fun to do work instead of using the mouse as with the included game Cut The Rope with touch. Photograph of the screen in the dark: SSD Performance I also found a plus on this laptop is that it over SSD offers. 256GB seemed enough for a laptop that is actually for school meant. Basically, I plan to run programs locally store and place that I can on multiple devices stored documents, pictures, school assignments, etc. on a medium to use. SSD is the brand Toshiba, model: THNSNH256GMCT These speeds of SSD are as follows: - Read (sequential): 534MB / s - Write (sequential): 471MB / s I have the velocities tested with CrystalDiskMark program . These were the results: As seen in the above picture, the SSD does not reach the specified speed, but you do not hear me complaining. I am satisfied with the speed and maybe there is ever a firmware update for the disk which speeds closer to come from the specified speeds. Game performance , as I pointed out in the beginning I thought it was important to occasionally then be able to play on the new laptop a game. The games I play regularly League of Legends and PayDay 2. These are also the games I've tested. League of Legends is playing with 60 fps without any hassle full-screen at 1920x1080 with everything on high. PayDay 2 had the same settings with a little more effort but had to make do with 30 to 40 fps. Once the resolution was put down, the game was fluent play with about 60fps. Also I 3DMark 11 test to do and this was the result: Link Connects The laptop has a LAN connection, WiFi, WiDi, and Bluetooth. Speedtest with wired connection: Speed Test with WiFi: WiDi and Bluetooth, I unfortunately can not test considering I no suitable devices have here. course I have several devices that Bluetooth only have these Apple devices so I can not use the Bluetooth connect my laptop to test. Keyboard The keyboard is made of island-style keys are islands in the enclosure. The keys are easy to reach and react in my opinion as it should. So it's not that you like about your hand must strain to keys to keys on the side of the board in from the center and it would need to press to actually register. keystroke still firm to the right of the main keys is also built a number pad. Now I do not often use it yourself but there are plenty of people who attach great importance to this. The keyboard also has a number of function keys that can be useful: - WiFi off - Activate sleep mode - Display Output Change - Screen Off - Touchpad de-/activeren - Volume devel- / mute - Keyboard lights off - Brightness control - Volume control - Play / pause, stop, rewind and fast forward the keyboard is also fitted with lighting so you can work without just that one key that you need, in the dark had been lost. Picture of keyboard illumination: (Also in this picture you can also see the battery indicator lights and charging) Touchpad The laptop features a large touchpad with underneath 'click buttons', as I call it. Through left or right corner slightly firm to the touch pad printing, you can left-or right-clicking. As I said earlier in this review, it seemed as if the touchpad was quite stiff but disappeared this feeling after having there. awhile to work The touchpad also has support for the so-called multi-touch gestures. This makes it possible to move that allows you to scroll a page. Up or down with two fingers from top to bottom or vice versa addition to this movement, there are still some that I still have to get used. itself on the one hand, it convenient, but because this is new to me and I do not have it can handle so good I look every now and then rather awkwardly with the touchpad. The touchpad is performed in the same design as the rest of the laptop only with slightly lighter complexion, so it fits well with the rest of the system. Photograph touchpad: Multimedia . The laptop is in the middle at the front (under the touchpad) two built-in microphones I tested it by running the Skype test call and the result was good. My voice was heard clearly without any noise by recording it. This interview I conducted in a silent room, so I do not know how the microphone performs in a room with background noise. The speakers of the laptop are quite good in my opinion. The system is supplied with Dolby Home Theater software, and this is also the reason why it sounds right. It's possible to turn so you can listen without optimizations. Speakers of this software When you do this, the sound is not very crowded and rather tinny. This can be so it's best to leave and then you can enjoy a good quality sound. The speakers are at the bottom of the laptop where they have a good and loud production volume. What is less, is that the speakers are on the side of the laptop, roughly in line with where I lay my arm on the laptop. This will make the sound somewhat muffled and / or distorted, depends what tones are produced. Despite this, I think the sound is still good only had it better. Also, the laptop has a webcam in a reasonable quality can capture images. The laptop does need to be at all able to see when you are completely in the dark and the brightness of the screen is low, or viewing a dark page, something pretty much light there is virtually no visible via webcam. Photo taken with the webcam of a random object: (This picture was taken at night with not much light) Heat and noise It strikes me very much with how hot the laptop while I'm actually expecting something else. My expectation was felt that the could be at a reasonable load because the system is very compact system. quite hot Fortunately this is not the case which is only better. All the laptop warmer during load the aluminum part between the keyboard and the screen. Here you can really make anything unless you accidentally shoot your finger on a key and touch the area. The noise is not too bad. You would think that the heat layer am loved by rotating the fans. Audible But you hear it almost did not they just beat on while playing a game, and even then they make relatively little noise. While playing a game, the temperature of both cores around 60 degrees. fluctuates mobility and battery life As I mentioned in the early pointed my new laptop primarily for school purposes. So it was when making my choice is also important that the laptop was not too big, 15.6 "is a nice size. Moreover, he should also not be too heavy every day to take to school with. Also I liked it when the laptop in height was not too thick Finally, the battery should be good:. in the classrooms at school are not always enough power points available to everyone so the laptop must even a few hours can sustain. without power This laptop meets happy with all these points. course it's always the question how a laptop is actually after you ordered it. With a fully charged battery allows you to work more than 5 hours if you performing normal tasks. Examples are to browse, read email, create school assignment etc. Slot I got what I wanted, a laptop that has a high mobility and yet offers enough features. If you recognize yourself in my profile and thus have the same desires , then the Acer V7 582PG 74508 a good choice. While it is a fairly expensive system, but you get really what you can and move forward. Again a few years On the other hand, the price does come along again, there are more expensive systems or to ensure greater mobility, think of ASUS ultrabooks or the MacBook Air, but offer less features than this system. Graphic Especially this is one of the few ultrabooks with such graphic power (nVidia GT750m). All in all I am happy and I do not regret my purchase. 471MB / s speeds I've tested with CrystalDiskMark program. These were the results: As seen in the above picture, the SSD does not reach the specified speed, but you do not hear me complaining.

This is what is included: - Office 365 trial - McAfee Internet Security Suite for 60 days - Acer Cloud - Acer Explorer - Acer Anti-Theft - NewsXpresso - 7Digital - Zinio - Kindle - WildTangent Games (Including a number of games including Bejeweled, Cut The Rope and Plants vs. Zombies.) - Spotify - Music Maker Jam - eBay - Social Jogger - Acer Crystal Eye - WeatherBug - Skype Although this is not yet all, it is already a decent list in my opinion. Naturally, here are a number of programs between like Skype and TuneIn I do use. however we do not use discovery for both apps I knew already what the way is a drawback of the Skype version installed, is that this is the Metro version. This version is merely possible to log in with an outlook account. You are required to install to log in to other accounts. desktop version Screen As you may have read earlier in the review, the laptop has a Full HD 15.6'' touchscreen. Everything looks very tight and detailed. What some people might be a downside is that the screen has quite a mirror finish. I find this not mind, I think it's rather nice, but I know that there are people who think this is just annoying. The viewing angles are in my good, but when you look too sharp on the screen, you see a reflection of what is the other side of the screen. This is mainly due to the mirror finish of the screen, not the clarity in this respect is therefore a downside. The screen is roughly around 150 degrees tilt which is useful when you want to watch quickly contained. Anything on the screen Otherwise, you need to install yourself constantly in your chair before you can read. Quickly something Furthermore, the display remains standing on the position where you put it. The touchscreen works well and serve. Fingers even with 10 (!) This just does not seem very practical since I no longer can see the screen because my hands before sitting. than It also leaves a lot of fingerprints on the screen which are difficult, but are visible when you sit in front of the screen. When you look at the screen from a different (sharper) angle are certainly visible fingerprints. However, it is in some games more fun to do work instead of using the mouse as with the included game Cut The Rope with touch. Photograph of the screen in the dark: SSD Performance I also found a plus on this laptop is that it over SSD offers. 256GB seemed enough for a laptop that is actually for school meant. Basically, I plan to run programs locally store and place that I can on multiple devices stored documents, pictures, school assignments, etc. on a medium to use. SSD is the brand Toshiba, model: THNSNH256GMCT These speeds of SSD are as follows: - Read (sequential): 534MB / s - Write (sequential): 471MB / s I have the velocities tested with CrystalDiskMark program . These were the results: As seen in the above picture, the SSD does not reach the specified speed, but you do not hear me complaining. I am satisfied with the speed and maybe there is ever a firmware update for the disk which speeds closer to come from the specified speeds. Game performance , as I pointed out in the beginning I thought it was important to occasionally then be able to play on the new laptop a game. The games I play regularly League of Legends and PayDay 2. These are also the games I've tested. League of Legends is playing with 60 fps without any hassle full-screen at 1920x1080 with everything on high. PayDay 2 had the same settings with a little more effort but had to make do with 30 to 40 fps. Once the resolution was put down, the game was fluent play with about 60fps. Also I 3DMark 11 test to do and this was the result: Link Connects The laptop has a LAN connection, WiFi, WiDi, and Bluetooth. Speedtest with wired connection: Speed Test with WiFi: WiDi and Bluetooth, I unfortunately can not test considering I no suitable devices have here. course I have several devices that Bluetooth only have these Apple devices so I can not use the Bluetooth connect my laptop to test. Keyboard The keyboard is made of island-style keys are islands in the enclosure. The keys are easy to reach and react in my opinion as it should. So it's not that you like about your hand must strain to keys to keys on the side of the board in from the center and it would need to press to actually register. keystroke still firm to the right of the main keys is also built a number pad. Now I do not often use it yourself but there are plenty of people who attach great importance to this. The keyboard also has a number of function keys that can be useful: - WiFi off - Activate sleep mode - Display Output Change - Screen Off - Touchpad de-/activeren - Volume devel- / mute - Keyboard lights off - Brightness control - Volume control - Play / pause, stop, rewind and fast forward the keyboard is also fitted with lighting so you can work without just that one key that you need, in the dark had been lost. Picture of keyboard illumination: (Also in this picture you can also see the battery indicator lights and charging) Touchpad The laptop features a large touchpad with underneath 'click buttons', as I call it. Through left or right corner slightly firm to the touch pad printing, you can left-or right-clicking. As I said earlier in this review, it seemed as if the touchpad was quite stiff but disappeared this feeling after having there. awhile to work The touchpad also has support for the so-called multi-touch gestures. This makes it possible to move that allows you to scroll a page. Up or down with two fingers from top to bottom or vice versa addition to this movement, there are still some that I still have to get used. itself on the one hand, it convenient, but because this is new to me and I do not have it can handle so good I look every now and then rather awkwardly with the touchpad. The touchpad is performed in the same design as the rest of the laptop only with slightly lighter complexion, so it fits well with the rest of the system. Photograph touchpad: Multimedia . The laptop is in the middle at the front (under the touchpad) two built-in microphones I tested it by running the Skype test call and the result was good. My voice was heard clearly without any noise by recording it. This interview I conducted in a silent room, so I do not know how the microphone performs in a room with background noise. The speakers of the laptop are quite good in my opinion. The system is supplied with Dolby Home Theater software, and this is also the reason why it sounds right. It's possible to turn so you can listen without optimizations. Speakers of this software When you do this, the sound is not very crowded and rather tinny. This can be so it's best to leave and then you can enjoy a good quality sound. The speakers are at the bottom of the laptop where they have a good and loud production volume. What is less, is that the speakers are on the side of the laptop, roughly in line with where I lay my arm on the laptop. This will make the sound somewhat muffled and / or distorted, depends what tones are produced. Despite this, I think the sound is still good only had it better. Also, the laptop has a webcam in a reasonable quality can capture images. The laptop does need to be at all able to see when you are completely in the dark and the brightness of the screen is low, or viewing a dark page, something pretty much light there is virtually no visible via webcam. Photo taken with the webcam of a random object: (This picture was taken at night with not much light) Heat and noise It strikes me very much with how hot the laptop while I'm actually expecting something else. My expectation was felt that the could be at a reasonable load because the system is very compact system. quite hot Fortunately this is not the case which is only better. All the laptop warmer during load the aluminum part between the keyboard and the screen. Here you can really make anything unless you accidentally shoot your finger on a key and touch the area. The noise is not too bad. You would think that the heat layer am loved by rotating the fans. Audible But you hear it almost did not they just beat on while playing a game, and even then they make relatively little noise. While playing a game, the temperature of both cores around 60 degrees. fluctuates mobility and battery life As I mentioned in the early pointed my new laptop primarily for school purposes. So it was when making my choice is also important that the laptop was not too big, 15.6 "is a nice size. Moreover, he should also not be too heavy every day to take to school with. Also I liked it when the laptop in height was not too thick Finally, the battery should be good:. in the classrooms at school are not always enough power points available to everyone so the laptop must even a few hours can sustain. without power This laptop meets happy with all these points. course it's always the question how a laptop is actually after you ordered it. With a fully charged battery allows you to work more than 5 hours if you performing normal tasks. Examples are to browse, read email, create school assignment etc. Slot I got what I wanted, a laptop that has a high mobility and yet offers enough features. If you recognize yourself in my profile and thus have the same desires , then the Acer V7 582PG 74508 a good choice. While it is a fairly expensive system, but you get really what you can and move forward. Again a few years On the other hand, the price does come along again, there are more expensive systems or to ensure greater mobility, think of ASUS ultrabooks or the MacBook Air, but offer less features than this system. Graphic Especially this is one of the few ultrabooks with such graphic power (nVidia GT750m). All in all I am happy and I do not regret my purchase. 471MB / s speeds I've tested with CrystalDiskMark program.
