Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5534
Source: PC Mag
When it comes down to their laptops, Acer has vowed to cut down their bulk, extend their battery life, and sell them at prices few can match. Case in point: the Acer Aspire AS5534-1146 ($499 list), which comes with Microsoft Windows 7 Premium 64-bit. First off, this is definitely not a netbook, which its $499 price might lead you to assume. If you can put aside any lofty expectations, the Acer Aspire AS5534-1146 is an incredible bargain for a well-designed laptop.

ATI Radeon HD 3200: Onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip (on RS780M chipset) based on the HD 2400 graphics core. It also features the UVD video engine to decode HD videos. Furthermore, it supports Hybrid CrossfireX (for accelleration) and PowerXpress(to save current) with a dedicated graphics adapter (of the HD 3000 line). Beware: Under Windows XP the HD 3200 may have no 2D accelleration because of a driver problem.
Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.

15.6": 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. However 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.

2.8 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
