Affordable desktop-replacement laptop. Touch screen. Good basic performance from an Intel Core i5-4200U processor. Decent port selection.

Basic 1,366-by-768 resolution. Display looks washed out. No optical drive. Most ports located on rear of system. VGA output requires separate adapter dongle.

Conclusion The Acer Aspire M5-583P-6637 is a decent day-to-day laptop with a fair feature set and adequate performance. The biggest thing going for the system, however, is the price, which puts it at the inexpensive end of the midrange...

Dramatically improved performance thanks to an Intel Core i5-4200U Haswell processor. Decent port selection. WiDi

Display is glossy and reflective. Colors are slightly washed-out. Lack of solid-state memory holds back the potential performance

At first glance the Acer Aspire M5-583P-6428 will look pretty familiar, with a chassis design that's unchanged from past iterations of the Aspire M5. But don't judge a laptop by its cover, because the new M5-583P-6428 boasts one of the first...

Everything about this ultrabook is great. Touch screen to specs inside. I use it as a gaming laptop and it handles everything I throw at it. It says the processor is clocked at 1.6 but its dual core is clocked at 2.6 and you wont really notice a drop...

Boots fast, runs quiet, seems well built for the price point

Windows 8 limitations

Touch screen shinies! The touch screen is beautiful and fluid. The display is also great. The keyboard is easy to use, but the num lock is a little odd (turns off all the time). Backlit keyboard makes it easy to use in the dark

Windows 8: everything about windows 8 is just bad. It's clunky and demands that you use a microsoft account in order to get a lot of things done. Did I mention it's clunky? Why do most of the built in apps automatically assume full screen and make it...

The computer did start up and I was loving the backlit keyboard. One minute later, the screen dimmed and the battery light started to flash. 30 seconds later I lost the power. I'm getting a replacement sent. I'll update review when I receive it

Wish the machine would start

Great Haswell laptop with long battery life and an empty mSata slot

Came with 5 small dents on lid (no guarantees with a refurb). 5400RPM hard drive is slow
