Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5101AWLMi Vista
Source: OurNotebookReviews
I am new to laptops and this is my first purchase. I am about to move out of a nice spacious house probably into single room accomdation. Bearing this in mind lugging my desktop computer and CRT monitor around everywhere was going to be a pain. I had initially set my desktop up to be a good gaming machine but soon realised I wasn’t using it much for that. So the laptop I was after only had to be good for basic functions, DVD, and probably TV. I wanted as good as spec as I could get (naturally), and a must was a dual layer DVD writer.

ATI Radeon Xpress 1100: The successor of the Xpress M200 integrated shared memory graphic card is based on a x300 core. Aero Glass should run fluently on the card.
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

15.4": 15 inch display-variants are the standard and are used for more than the half of all notebooks. 15.4 inch display with 16:10 are the standard for notebook displays. Nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.
