Acer Laptop Trades Performance for Ultralow Price

How do you get a full-featured notebook to clock in under six hundred bucks? Toss an AMD processor in it.

Barely more expensive than a netbook. Full selection of ports (4 USB, HDMI SD card) and features (dual-layer DVD writer, 802.11n wireless). Fancy keyboard-mounted DVD eject button

Lacks any compelling new features. Stripped-down performance, battery life and screen brightness

Review: Acer Aspire 5538G notebook, an affordable mobile HD entertainment solution

The 15.6-inch Aspire 5538G notebook that AMD sent us for review is a pretty interesting machine. The hardware specs are hardly Earth-shattering in this age of Intel Core notebooks, but it has other perks. Featuring a 1.2 GHz AMD Athlon X2 dual-core...

Acer Aspire 5538G with AMD Vision

Machine: Acer Aspire 5538G (specs)Price: About £400 - it variesThe last time we were in Austin TX, the guys and gals at AMD were pushing the Vision idea. AMD is still pushing Vision and no doubt bugging Intel at the same time.

AMD/ATI display is lovely, 1.9Ghz chip has more than enough beef

Portability

AMD clearly wants to tread on the tiger's tail. If this machine is anything to go by, Intel clearly has a fight on its hands. This PC is no netbook and the price ain't half bad.

Acer Aspire 5538

Received very quickly. Thanks to amazon. It is a very good product and very easy to use. I didn't expect it to be ultra thin. Programs open very quickly so it is a fast product. Only downside is that mouse pad is not in the middle of the laptop. I am...
