CNET reviews Acer Aspire 5000 and writes: “Measuring 1.5 inches thick, 14.3 inches wide, and 11 inches deep and weighing 6.6 pounds (7.3 pounds with its small AC adapter), the staid silver-and-black Aspire 5000 is a bit too big to classify as a thin-and-light, but it’s lighter than many other desktop replacements. It’s not the first such notebook we’ve seen: the Sony VAIO VGN-FS570 and the Dell Inspiron 6000 are also somewhere between thin-and-light and desktop replacement. Keep in mind that though the Aspire 5000 is relatively light for its size, it’s still too big for regular travel.” Read full review of Acer Aspire 5000 at CNET
