Acer laptops - Acer Aspire One 521

Here are hardware specifications of Acer Aspire One 521

Windows 7 operating system (starter pack)
glossy screen surface
AMD Athlon II Neo (K125) single core processor
1GB RAM, upgradeable to 4G limit
250GB hard drive storage capacity (SATA type)
5.5-6 hours battery life
3 USB (2.0) ports
memory card reader for SD, MMC, Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick, xD cards
802.11 b, g, n WiFi driver
ATI Radeon 384 MB graphic driver
HDMI and VGA video output
audio output and input, microphone, Bluetooth 2.1

Acer designed Aspire One 521 to become a powerful netbook. It is different from other usual Aspire Ones as we see in the market.

Aspire One 521 built with gaming capability for a small laptop, because it has ATI Radeon graphic driver for sharper and faster image movement, especially when playing games.

Overall, I would recommend Aspire One 521 if you are novice laptop user who sometimes prefers to play games other than doing heavy office works with it. If most netbooks are installed with Intel Atom for usual computing, Aspire One 521 is basically designed for netbook gaming, a feature most netbooks are not equipped with.

For faster speed, you can install additional RAM slot in the backside of this laptop. Buy 2 2G RAM sticks, put it in the slot, then test it by playing games, a simple one almost close to 3D games. You will amazed how fast (and how clear the view) this small laptop will be.

Acer laptops - new Acer Timeline X

Acer upgraded their Timeline brand into the new Timeline X laptop series. The new series come with new Intel Core processors you can choose from suits your personal budget - Intel Core i3, i5 and i7. The operating system will be Windows 7 Home Premium, which I say downgradeable into Windows Xp service pack 3 or Windows Vista Home Premium.

Acer said the new Timeline X designed to has lighter, faster, sharper display, longer battery life. One of my dream laptop is an Acer Aspire Timeline.

I love its thickness, its lightness and its powerful computing engine. I fonly google Chrome was being released by now, I will install my Acer Timeline laptop with it, so no virus will harm my data.

Among Dell Adamo XPS, Apple Macbook Air or Acer Timeline X, I will choose Acer Timeline X because Acer's internal spare part for their laptops is widely available here in Malaysia. The service cost is a lot cheaper than the other laptop models made by other companies such as Dell, Hp, Sony, Toshiba, Nokia or Lenovo.

Timeline X price will be 1,900 Malaysian Ringgit and above, aimed for business users, professional workers, advanced user who prefers tri-combination of speed, style and lightness.

Acer laptops is more personal than Dell

I was more to Acer laptops, even i love to use Dell laptops as well. I love Dell because of its dominant name, good functions and hardware strength, I mean Dell do provides technologies ot please up laptop users like me.

But I love Acer more than Dell because I feel like Acer understands me a lot. Dell laptops is more to business oriented, while Acer laptops is more to personal oriented. That's the way I feel about Acer laptops.

Acer is the top computer seller but second in US market

Acer is now the top computer seller in Africa, Middle East, Europe. Acer also is the top computer seller in Malaysia and other South East Asia countries.

Acer laptops - new eMachine EM350 netbook with Windows Xp

eMachine is a new brand name in netbook market, actually eMachine is a subsidiary of Acer (2nd largest computer maker in the world). eMachine introduced their new netbook code named eMachine EM350.

The netbook installed with Windows XP operating system, which in my experience operates faster compared to Windows 7 starter edition when in a netbook. The processor for eMachine EM350 netbook is Intel Atom N450, comes together with Wifi driver (802.11b/g/n WiFi) surely added with Acer's SignalUp technology, USB ports for external plug and play devices, 10 inch dipslay screen, 1GB RAM.

The hardware specification is much alike with Acer Aspire One's hardware, upgradeable by eMachine EM350 user as an option. My respon, anything comes out from eMachine is a lot cheaper than Aspire laptops, giving huge advantage for any laptop buyer with small budget but with big hunger to get connected into the internet.

I dont know what reason pushes Acer to produce a new netbook under eMachine brand while Acer already gained strong market hold and user trust via Acer Aspire One laptops. If compare to Dell Inspiron Mini 10 or Samsung NC10, Aspire One netbook is much popular here in Malaysia, with eMachine EM350 netbook, Acer tries to dig deeper.

Acer new tablet laptops

Acer willintroduce two new tablet laptops before the end of 2010, not a convertible netbook laptop as seen in the image below.

Those two new tablet laptops are sized at 7 inch and 10 inch display each respectively, installed with multimedia features, internet connectivity, with sensitive touch screen as seen in Apple iPad and Dell Streak.

Acer uses Google Android OS (operating system) to power up those two tablet laptops, hence reduces the price to lower level, cheaper than usual tablet laptops. Actually, I love Acer more than Dell, but in the same time I was crazy for iPad!

Acer laptop reviews - Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G

Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G is a multimedia laptop. If you are a laptop user and looking for a laptop as a replacement for your desktop computer, Acer Aspire Ethos 8943G is the right choice. This one is bulky, has 18.4 screen size. But I love its entertainment capacity, the big screen is good when it comes to watching movies, but not good when you moves around different towns, especially when you need to pack and unpack things.

Acer laptops - Acer Aspire One 532

Acer introduces their new netbook (a small laptop) called Acer Aspire One 532. This cute little laptop has long battery life, up to 10 hours.

Acer Aspire One 532 installed with Windows 7 (starter pack) operating system, which the disadvantage is the OS does not allow you to change background image. I recommend you change the operating systom to Windows Xp (service pack 3) for more customization and for more speed.

Acer Aspire One 532 processor chip is Intel Atom N450, its has WiFi wireless internet detector to enable you get connected into the internet anywhre you go. More, this laptop has optional 3G configuration, an added feature just like I saw in Nokia Booklet 3G.

If you are a small laptop user who prefers style and colorful design, Acer Aspire One 532 has three optional body color for you to choose - black, silver and red. I prefer the black color.

Acer Aspire Timeline in Sri Lanka for the first time

Acer Aspire Timeline, the new laptop series from Acer was launched officially in Sri Lanka during an official ceremony in Cinnamon Grand, sponsored by Metropolitan Computers and in cooperation of Acer Singapore. Acer Aspire Timeline known as thick laptops with 8 hours long lasting battery life.

Since Dell Adamo XPS, Apple MacBook Air and Sony Vaio X is not affordable by Sri Lankan laptops buyers, Acer Timeline seems to fit into their needs. Sri Lance has untouched laptop market that big companies not eyeing on, especially for selling cheap-and-affordable netbooks. The country has 20,238,000 resident population and has a reputation as famous vacation spot for western people, according to Wikipedia.

Acer laptop-Acer Aspire 1410 dual core with 4GB RAM limit on Windows 7

Acer Aspire 1410 dual core is a new netbook from Acer (the latest editon after its single core version) installed with Windows 7 home premium, runs Intel Celeron SU2300 processor with speed at 1.2GHz, 160GB hard disc drive, 2GB RAM 6-cells battery that can lasts up to 5 hours of mobile usage.

Its a netbook with full sized keyboards, comes with stunning design in 'red-black' glossy finish, with famous Windows 7 logo on low corner on its left side, 11.6 inch dispaly screen with 1366 x 768 pixels screen resolution. Its graphic supported by Intel GMA 4500MHD which I found can only delivers mid level graphic movement. But with Windows 7, you will get the best of its graphic, it will be more best if you upgrade its RAM to 4GB, for smoother graphic effect.

If you're looking for a cheap laptop that comes with latest features and latest spec, I suggest Acer Aspire 1410 to you. I may not give you a long review (because no laptop company gave me their laptop to be reviewed) but from its hardware specification that I read, this laptop suits best for youth laptop user, home user and office workers who prepers light computing without frequent need to use optical drive. My laptop is a netbook too, simply because I love to use simple, small laptop and I use DVD and CD rarely.

Acer PowerSmart technology saves your money

Acer PowerSmart Adapter is an intelligent laptop application that control the charging process of a laptop. When you recharge your laptop for several hours than you didnt to unplug the power chord when battery is already full, it weakens the battery because the electric keep being recharged into the battery even its already full, same like you keep eating some food evethough your stomach is already full.

This will give a bad effect to the laptop battery, make its life last only for about a year. To solve this, Acer created PowerSmart Adapter which its main function is to handle adaptive charging mode - it will automatically stops the charging process when the battery is fully recharged. Acer PowerSmart saves electric energy, and make laptop battery live long about 2 years, maybe more!. It helps to saves your money from buying new laptop batteries each year.

Acer laptops-Most Acer laptops suits all type of laptop users from bottom to top

From my deep inspection and pesonal analysis on Malaysian laptop market - trough reading, asking hundreds of Acer lovers, asking hundreds of non-Acer user on what make them decide to use a laptop other than Acer, visiting computer shop, browsing the trend of cheap laptops via Malaysian auction site.

Many computer shop will not acknowledge a girl who love to inspect new computer because they know girls are not heavy laptop user - boys did that. So each time i went into computer shops, those agressive selling people are girls like me too, at least i'm safe from being a victim of heavy sales pitch.

From what i see, Acer made laptops almost for anyone, for each computer user in each level of live. From bottom level to the top. From naughty teenage students to top CEO of a big company. Most computer shops has laptop service for Acer laptops and they say repairing an Acer laptop is easy and fast - because Acer's internal replacement parts for their laptop is easily available anywhere, at anytime.

Kudos to Acer. Reader's Digest Asian Edition included Acer laptops as most preferred laptop brand voted by their reader, which i suspect most of them are passionate and satisfied Acer user.
