    I have a serious question regarding the difference between the two laptops. Acer currently has no support for my laptop 5735z but does have a support page for the 5730. The two laptops are pretty much mirror images of each other except for the screen size(5735 is a 15.6") I dont see why I cannot use the bios for the 5730 to update the 5735. They have the same chipset and cpu.
    Has anyone done this before or am I setting myself up for trouble? thanks

    Is there even a bios available for the 5730? They are both pretty new.
