Acer Aspire 5738DG-6165

The latest batch of Acer laptops are anything but ordinary. It started with a multitouch laptop that reaped the benefits of Windows 7's touch capabilities, and then came a netbook that dual-booted with Google's Android operating system. The Acer Aspire AS5738DG ($780 street) is a budget desktop replacement laptop, and apparently the next trick up the company's sleeve. Pre-installed with one of the first 3D widescreens, it comes with a pair of 3D glasses to match. While a number of the 3D effects were cool and the polarized screen didn't interfere with day-to-day tasks, everything around the AS5738DG is still pretty standard. Even without the nifty screen effects, it's an excellent laptop, with a price that works in its favor.
