The 16:9 format is becoming more and more popular, and not just in PC monitors. Laptops such as the Acer Aspire 5535-603G32MN and Aspire 5535-724G32MN are managing to blur the line between TVs and computers. Thanks to the screen’s format and HDTV resolution, these laptops are not just well suited to gaming, but to high resolution videos too. It is then up to the user to decide what else it can do.
As we are used to seeing with Acer, the Aspire 5535 series comes in many variations which can be tailored to suit the user. The screen is one thing common to all these models which have a Gemstone design and rounded corners. This measures 15.6inch and features 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, just like that which is normally found on TVs. It should also de able to display brilliant colours, and have a reaction time of 8ms.
As for the other specs, these vary depending on the user’s wishes. For the CPU there is a choice between a Dual Core Turion X2 or an Athlon X2 – both from AMD in any case. The graphics chipset is also provided by ATI. The Mobility Radeon card takes its memory from the system, therefore having a hyper memory of up to 2GB.
All of the new Aspire 5535 models also contain a DVD burner and in-built 3D sonic speakers. The connection possibilities include gigabit LAN and N-Draft WLAN. The RAM can be increased up to 4GB, and the hard drive up to 500B. The cheapest variant comes with a price tag of around £530.
