Oh, Acer, you don't half churn them out. The prolific spawner of laptops has just given birth to another addition to the Aspire range, the 15.6-inch 5553G. The configuration we're looking at, the 5553G-N934G32Mn, can be yours for around £700 from PC World and other vendors.
The Acer Aspire 5553G is a good all-rounder, offering impressive performance for a machine of its price. It looks pretty boring though.

It might be cheap for a quad-core laptop, but the Acer Aspire 5553G doesn't deliver outstanding performance or value. It's a solid laptop, but the price needs to come down further before it's worth looking into.

Acer: In 1976, the company was founded in Taiwan under the name Multitech and was renamed Acer or Acer Group in 1987. The product range includes, for example, laptops, tablets, smartphones, desktops, monitors, TVs and computer peripherals. Since 2007, the group has merged with Gateway Inc. and Packard Bell, which also market their own laptop product lines.
Acer computers are designed for a variety of purposes, including ultrabooks for mobile use, gaming laptops for gamers, affordable options for everyday tasks, and 2-in-1 convertible laptops for versatility. Acer's product portfolio also includes tablets that offer portable computing and multimedia capabilities.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650: Middle class DirectX 11 capable graphics card with a power consumption of about 15-20 Watt. Supports Eyevision (up to 6 monitors)

AMD Phenom II X4:
N930: Mobile Quad-Core CPU with 2 GHz clock speed. Because of the missing Level 3 Cache and no Turbo, the N930 is not well suited for games.
N950: Mobile Quad-Core CPU with 2.1 GHz clock speed. Because of the missing Level 3 Cache and no Turbo, the N930 is not well suited for games.
AMD Phenom II X2:
N620: Mobile Dual-Core CPU based on the desktop Athlon II X2 due to the missing level 3 cache. Due to the fast clock speed, the N620 should be located in the upper mid range of laptop CPUs.

2.6 kg:
With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
2.7 kg:
72%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
