Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5532-5535

40% Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 (Athlon 64 TF-20 1.6GHz, 3GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium)
Source: CNet Archive.org version
At $329, the Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 is likely the cheapest laptop non-Netbook you'll find. In fact, this 15.6-inch laptop costs less than many Netbooks. And like those systems, it features a single-core CPU and low-end parts that make it best suited for light duty. The entry-level Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 can keep up with neither dual-core laptops that are still moderately priced nor a completing single-core entry-level laptop from Compaq.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
