Acer Computers

Refinement is the key word. Unfortunately, Acer has gone a little further and a little too stripped the machine. No no numeric keypad, minimalist connectors (one VGA, 3 USB, 1 RJ45), no e-SATA connectors, FireWire, webcam or memory card reader. The price is pulled down and not without consequences. Almost all of the shell is dull (which we will not complain) with the exception of a bright band on the back of the machine.
Closed, the computer is much more beautiful than open. This is due to the beige plastic used for the keyboard and outlined all of which is not very aesthetic. In terms of multimedia keys, only the sound control is proposed. The index of vista machine is undermined by the graphics: 3.0. In detail, the components are rated as follows: CPU: 4.2 – RAM: 4.5 – Graphics: 3.0 – Thu: 3.4 – main hard disk and 4.8. As usual, this index is not talking and I invite you to visit the benchmarks you better realize that this PC has in its belly.

Forget multitasking right away. Return to a single core with dual core use in everyday life is taking some nasty habits. Open windows for other facilities, surfing etc.. And then it does not miss, the machine stops responding or slows down extremely. The solution: stop run applications in parallel and return to the single task.  This is not a surprise, the Aspire 5315 is not a racing machine. On all our indicators, he finds himself, at best, 24% behind our computer referent: Asus M50SV. The biggest impact is on the video compression and it is three times slower.

The lack of devices reduced this part to a trickle. No webcam or memory card reader. We obviously regret this gap, but it must be said that this will greatly help us. At independence, the Aspire 5315 is rising to the height of his claims (see news announcement) is 1:52 in movie playback. It’s 10 minutes longer than the Asus M50SV but far behind the 13 and 12 inch all end up beyond 2 hours of use on battery.Video, The most troublesome aspect is the video of the glossy tile. Beyond this point, once calibrated the screen (profile available on the Focus-Digital). The tingling is not very present and the blacks are doing what they can (washed in all). The colors are generally warm. Playing a Blu-Ray with the software Power DVD Ultra. The film starts, however, even if the sound is not ground, fluidity is not there. The processor is used to its maximum capacity and to ensure continuous playback, is “jumping” a large number of images.

This part closes with the sound like. This is not the forte of the Aspire 5315. The maximum volume of the speakers is not powerful enough. The use of headphones is strongly recommended.
