Being
small should be no hindrance to being the best. Realizing
this, Acer, one of the world’s top computer manufacturers,
came up with its own small version of a notebook computer,
the Acer Aspire AS2920Z-2A0508Mi and AS2920-5A1G16Mi.
This marks
the first time that Acer released consumer-focused
notebook computers in the 12-inch screen, 2-kilogram
category, promising to give consumers more mobility and
convenience in their computing life, particularly for
on-the-go, on-the-road mobile cyberwarriors and
telecommuters.
However,
despite the small size, Acer made sure that the two
products would not fall short in terms of features,
affordability and, most of all, performance, whether in
multitasking situations, speed, storage size, low power
consumption and overall audio and video brilliance.
The
AS2920Z comes with a dual-core Pentium processor T2330
(1.6GHz, 1MB cache, 533MHz FSB) with Mobile Intel GL960
Express chipset, 512MB memory (upgradeable to 2GB), Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 358MB DVMT 4.0
video memory (8MB dedicated and 350MB shared), and 80GB
SATA hard drive.
On the
other hand, the Acer Aspire AS2920-5A1G16Mi, the
higher-end of the two, is packed with the Intel Centrino
Core 2 Duo T5550 (1.83GHz, 2MB, 677 FSB), a Mobile Intel
GM965 Express chipset, 1GB DDR2 (upgradeable to 4GB)
memory, Intel
Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 358MB DVMT 4.0
video memory (8MB dedicated and 350MB shared), and 160GB
SATA hard drive.
The other
advantage of these two notebooks is their 12.1-inch WXGA
TFT LCD display screen with Acer’s patented Crystalbrite
technology, making computing even when outdoors not too
much of a strain on sensitive eyes, plus built-in new Acer
CrystalEye web cam that supports Acer PrimaLite
technology, a big plus when doing video conferences in
offices or simply talking to a loved one. |
