This can work well

For me, the Acer Aspire E5-731-P9KZ 43.9 cm (17.3-inch) notebook (Intel Pentium 3556U, 1.7GHz, 4GB RAM, 1000GB HDD, Intel HD, DVD, Win 8.1) silver very good and comfortable working tool. Even visually it makes much, with the brushed surface is not limited to the cover, but also forms the basis for the keyboard. It's quite difficult, and I would not use it therefore essential for traveling because since one would have to haul pretty.

The technical details and the performance can be found in the item description before all important, so I tend man to enter into my report here on the practical use.

The initial setup is done quickly; it is easy and straightforward guided through the program.
Somewhat annoying is the wealth of pre-installed apps and programs that you do not need any. Some are very persistent when it comes to uninstall, and it is a busy time, set everything up on its own needs.

The following points I like particularly well:
+ A large display that provides a sharp image (depending on the light it reflects something that this circumstance can be remedied but by the choice of location,
+ The possibility of enlargement of pictures or documents by dragging on the touch pad,
+ The touchpad: It works very precisely and is smooth,
+ The large keyboard, I get along very well with it; it writes it quickly and pleasantly. At first it took a while until I got used to it, that the letter keyboard here is something more to the left than usual, because the right of it still followed by a numeric keypad.
+ The numeric keypad, because if I have to write or add up a lot of numbers, I can do this with this much better, error free and faster than with the numbers on the top row. The keyboard of this laptop hereby provides a comfort normally found only in desktop computers.
+ The presence of 8xDVD-Super Multi double-layer (which unfortunately is not self-evident at all laptops)
that there are 4 USB ports: 2 x USB 2.0 and 2 x USB 3.0

Otherwise, I can say that I am generally very satisfied. The battery life is good. In normal use, it holds quite work by 5 'hours. In exceptional stress, for example when watching a movie, the term is shortened accordingly. She is also always depending on how bright it adjusts its display.
The sound is satisfactory if not outstanding, but I have not yet met any laptop with a super sound volume. If you want to enjoy music videos, one is well advised with external speakers. The laptop is equipped with the latest Bluetooth 4.0 standard, which is (as well as the USB 3.0 ports) backward compatible. My initial concerns about the relatively small RAM of 4 GB have so far proved unfounded. My claims is thus been satisfied, because my photo editing keeps in moderate limits and I hardly play at laptop. Although I have often open several programs in parallel, but I am not yet met with the device at the limits of performance. For complex games, extensive video and photo or video editing programs but I would then would rather resort to a more powerful computer.
