The main difference between these two laptops is that the 5745G has a 640GB hard drive.

Question from RonanC: Asked on 17/02/2011 Thinking of buying this laptop for home / business use. Will typically have 5 to 10 internet tabs open along with Dropbox, MS Word, Excel and photo editing software all at once (to manage my e-commerce website). Would also use it for iTunes etc. Do you think this laptop would be suitable for me? What (if any) accessories would you recommend? Also I read in some review that this laptop only has a mono speaker. An important issue for me - Could I still get stereo sound by plugging in stereo headphones / speakers?

Answer from simon: Answered on 17/02/2011
Due to the i5 processor and large amount of RAM it would be suitable for your requirments and will give you several year a fast service. All laptops take exsternal stereo speakers, head phones and microphones.

Question from jon: Asked on 20/01/2011 I am a bit of a novice. Please can you tell me the difference between the 5742g i5 and the 5742 i5, as I am considering one of these?

Question from Graham: Asked on 05/01/2011 Hello again. Is this faster than the AMD athlon 2 dual core in the 5552? Is the Nvidia graphics card better than the ATI radeon 540v in the other 5742G and also better than the ATI radeon HD4250 in the 5552?? So is this the best multimedia/all rounder laptop I could buy?

Answer from simon: Answered on 06/01/2011
The Aspire 5742G LX.R5302.013 is a far superior machine to the 5552. It has a lot better chip architecture and a lot better graphics card. So it would be better at multi tasking; and in games would be better at texture mapping, lighting effects and give better frame rates in games too. It's like comparing a hot hatch to a super car!

Question from Stephen: Asked on 05/01/2011 hello, i am very interested in this laptop. i have a few questions, first off, would you recommend this laptop for playing recent games such as dragon age or crysis on high settings?, and secondly, how long do you think you will have this in stock? also i bought a laptop from here 18 months ago, would you do some kind of part exchange?
thank you.
Stephen

Answer from simon: Answered on 05/01/2011
It will play the lastest games on high settings and will do it well. Good spec for the money will last you a good while. We don't offer a trade-in scheme so Ebay would be the best option to sell your old laptop. We currently have 207 in stock so will have them for a while.

Question from Graham: Asked on 03/01/2011 Happy New Year. I notice you have two 5742G's each with different processors. Does this one come with any software like Office starter etc like the other one?

Answer from simon: Answered on 04/01/2011
Both come with the same software.
