The Acer Aspire 4740 / 4740G is available in Core i3, i5 and i7 flavors and starts at S$1,498, though the actual street price is S$1,098. What you get is a 2.13GHz Core i3 processor, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD and a discrete 512MB
Nvidia GeForce 310M graphics platform. Going up the scale, S$1,698 (street price: S$1,398) nets you a 2.26GHz Core i5 chip, 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD. More importantly, the Core i5 processor sports the Intel Turbo Boost feature (not available with Core i3), which automatically overclocks the laptop during intensive computing. Along with a discrete graphics card, the
Aspire 4740G is a competent entertainment machine which is also capable of midrange gaming to boot.
The notebook boasts a Dolby Home Theatre audio system with stereo speakers and a 14-inch LED-backlit panel. The latter comes with HD-ready (1,366 x 768) resolution in 16:9 aspect ratio, which makes it great for viewing widescreen movies. The machine also comes with HDMI output if you wish to hook it up to a larger display. From past experience, laptop speakers rarely did justice to audio tracks, so you may need to plug in headphones if you want some real Dolby Home Theatre love.
The
Acer Aspire 4740/4740G also comes with a biometric fingerprint sensor. Since it is not a business laptop, the Acer does not sport HDD encryption or a TPM security chip. We suggest using the sensor for quick logins and not as a security feature to lock down your data.
