Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480 Dual-Core E-350, 15.6″ Laptop Review, Specification And Price

by Rekha on March 31, 2011


Be it any market, people are constantly on the lookout for cheaper, yet smarter products. This applies to the electronic world whether the rate of change is so quick that what is the latest today, is outdated the next week and in a year called an ‘old model’ and within two, totally obsolete. One of the current products which cater to both the criteria of lesser price for more is the Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480.

Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480 Display:

This laptop has all the component features of a net book with its focus on internet connectivity and it is all done on a 15.6” clear display screen. This can have a resolution of up to 1366 x 768 pixels and it works really great for viewing videos from You Tube, DVD movies or any streaming videos from the internet. However a thumbs down point was that neither the colors or the gray levels in a black and white movie were spectacular. The image quality and brightness dropped off at 40 degrees from the axis. The thumbs up point on this screen though is its width which allows two windows to be placed side by side without having to peer into the screen to view the page. Once can even have a small chat window open along with the two, and it does not strain the eyes.

Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480 Specifications And Features:

The Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480 uses an AMD E- 350, dual core Fusion processor with a speed of 1.6 GHz and a cache memory of 1 MB. It has a standard memory of 4 GB and an expandable memory of another 4 GB thus totaling a capacity of 8 GB. It sports a DDR3 SDRAM and has 2 memory slots with a memory card reader and can support both secure digital (SD) card and the Multi Media Card (MMC).

The key pad on this laptop is the full type with a numeric key pad too by the side just like a regular desktop key board and this allows specific number crunching. Typing is smooth, though not as comfortable as the Apple or the Lenovo, but it has a deep travel and makes the process efficient and quick.

The touch pad is a healthy 3.2” x 1.8” which allows multi touch and gesture recognition. The buttons of the mouse are housed in a single key. All this allows smooth scrolling and toggling between documents and web pages.

The design of the Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480 concentrates more on functionality rather than on looks. It has a solid black plastic cover with a cross hatched texture on its surface, which enables a slip free and finger print free surface for the machine.

Acer Aspire AS5253-BZ480 Price:

The machine is priced at $500 and this is the best deal for the money as it concentrates on net book like functions. It weighs a healthy 5 lbs which makes it a tight squeeze into the ordinary laptop bag and proves to be heavier than many other laptops. Nevertheless it does deliver its claims to performance with comfort and reliability.
