Acer Aspire laptops
In fact the Acer Aspire 5536’s dimensions nudge it out of straight laptop and into desktop replacement territory. Its 15.6in screen may fall well short of the 17in displays on the more serious — and expensive — models in this category, but at 16:9, it’s wider than that of most laptops at this size. The catch is that the screen’s native resolution is a mere 1366 x 768, but that’s plenty of room to run a couple of applications side-by-side.
