Reviews for the Acer TravelMate 5520
Acer TravelMate 5520 - Business-Notebook für den kleinen Geldbeutel
Source: Tom's Guide
Das TravelMate entstammt ganz offensichtlich dem Einsteigerbereich, nicht nur preislich. Das äußert sich an verschiedenen Stellen. Die Batterielaufzeit ist gerade unter Last viel zu kurz, der Speicherausbau für Vista niedrig und bei der Grafik vertraut Acer auf eine integrierte Chipsatzlösung – wenn auch eine der schnelleren.
Das verspiegelte Display ist jedoch keine Frage des Preises – auch Geräte aus den gehobenen Klassen werden inzwischen vermehrt mit sogenannten Glossy-Panels ausgeliefert. Hier spalten sich die Lager, doch wer gegen ein verspiegeltes Display nichts einzuwenden hat, der findet im Acer ein sehr angenehmes Panel. Für Filme ist das Schwarz allerdings nicht kräftig genug – und außerdem sollte wegen der kurzen Batterielaufzeit der Film die 90-Minuten-Marke nicht überschreiten.
Mobilität mangelhaft, Leistung mäßig, Verarbeitung gut, Ausstattung zufriedenstellend, Preis/Leistung zufriedenstellend

Acer - TravelMate 5520C review
Source: IT Reviews
The latest addition to Acer's TravelMate range of business notebooks is the 5520C and it's aimed at smaller businesses with tight budgets, as it comes with a sub-£400 price tag. As you might expect for that price, some compromises have been made; it's not the lightest notebook around (it weighs 3.4kg with the power brick), it doesn't have the host of security features that the more expensive TravelMates have and, perhaps more significantly, it comes with an AMD processor instead of the usual Intel CPU. Having said all that, what you do get is a no-nonsense business laptop with most of what you need built in, combined with a reasonable battery life; just under two hours while watching a DVD. This machine is powered by an AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK; a dual core processor with both cores running at 1.7GHz, each with 256KB of L2 cache. Backing this up is 1GB of PC2-667MHz DDR2 memory in the form of two 512MB modules.

ATI Radeon Xpress 1250: Chipset graphics based on the dedicated X300. These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games.

May 2006. The current consumption is not higher than with Centrino-Duo-notebooks (TL-45 with ATI Xpress and Mobility Radeon X300). This means, that approximative the same battery runtime and fan functions can be expected (with this chipset). However, the performance was 20% below the T2300 (1.66 GHz) due to the lower L2 Cache (Core Duo has 2048 Kbyte shared L2 Cache). Nevertheless, the performance is sufficient.
TL-58:
In 65nm (31W TDP) produced dual core processor with a clock rate of 1.9 GHz. The TL-58 is still based on the K8 core and compareable to a slower clocked Core Duo.
