You read well. 15.4-inch screens are the most common measurement in notebooks, but both the Acer Aspire 5535 and the Acer Aspire 5735 have a 15.6-inch screen . A curiosity within these two models that Acer intended for the home user who wants to enjoy high definition at home , without resorting to the larger (and therefore heavier) screens of the Gemstone Blue family .
