Acer Aspire 5520
$644.00
Released December, 2007
The Pros:Good price to performance ratio (by 2007 standards). 3GB of ram is more than whats offered for most budget oriented notebooks. Good range of in/outputs (media card reader, expresscard 54).
The Cons:Turion 64 processors run far warmer than their Intel Core 2 Duo counterparts. Low battery life compared to Intel based notebooks. Thick, large and heavy chassis.
Acer Apsire 5520 is targeted at home users and students. Supporting a little more than basic needs, the Aspire 5520 comes with AMD Turion 64 2X Dual Core processor acting at 2.0HGz. 3GB of memory is installed however this can be upgraded using the two memory card slots.
