I have recently purchased an Acer Aspire 5740 which came with Windoz7
but had problems with the latest updates. Therefore, reloaded the disk
with the latest Mint Linux 64bit and it is really good.
(I spent a short time working with a local laptop repair company and
found that the modern Acer systems were one of the most reliable
laptops they didn't have them in for repair).
I did try the Ultimate Edition 2.7 Linux which is rather nice, but had
problems with flash on 64bit.
I like the Window manager in Mint and the Linux is Ubuntu based.
I am really pleased with this system.
