The Aspire 7738 is a higher-end, entertainment-targeted notebook computer from Acer. Its most significant advantage over lower models, especially the 7735, which relies on integrated graphics, is a 1024MB dedicated NVIDIA graphics chip placing the 7738 in the upper echelon of Acer gaming laptops. In other ways, it is very similar to the 7735, with the same 17.3-inch, LED-backlit display and 250 GB hard drive. It features a 2.10GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 3 GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4 GB). Other features include Bluetooth, a DVD-writer, integrated webcam, and 5-in-1 card reader. Windows Vista Home Premium arrives preloaded.
