acer Aspire® 4520 user reviews

    "recently introduced the AMD-powered Aspire 4520 laptop in India. This laptop is aimed towards the entry-level segment which attracts first-time laptop buyers and students. The 4520 is a 14.1-inch value notebook with good specifications and feature set. This laptop model is sold as-is and there is no customization provided from Acer’s end. So, one needs to make sure the specs are nice and the laptop has enough firepower to get through all of your daily applications.

    "The Acer Aspire 4920G is a fascinating beast -- a 14.1-inch notebook with surprisingly powerful guts (complete with ATI Mobility Radeon X2500 and 2GB RAM), a polished up exterior and overhauled sound, with a questionable design ethic and a few interesting"

    "...my experiences during the 4520 Acer laptop. I feel have to find the laptop with a very good performance and balanced with the price cheap enough. I think this will control the laptop market consumer class or low end price range of 5 million."

    "I have this Athlon based 4520 and its perf has been nothing but SUPERIOR!
I would recommend this laptop to the entire spectrum of users for it gives you excellent perf, great looks, stylish, good user friendly helpline, future capable, just the right size (some laptops are closer to being desktops, they are so big!). The pricing has been the final attraction for it is very affordable and Total- Value-for-Money! This machine costed me 26.5k in Mar 08 from Nehru place (Del) and has never given me a chance to doubt its perf.

The only thing I did miss out in this machine is a vee-bit smaller battery life. It would have fantastic had the battery lasted a bit longer (this is when we have laptops boasting of 19 hrs batt. life!!!!). Though we shud remember that batt life is only supp. to be used as a back up! and that too not for extended periods.

    "If you want to buy your first laptop then the recommendations for such. If you believe that 1 GB DDR SODIMM is slow only 1 GB DDR memory quickly jump to well .. You can unexpensive everything with the laptop. You can play games NVIDIA with the requirements of 7000 or less, a cool speakers. IVE mines was already nearly 4 months .. In the game GTA San Andreas, Adobe Photoshop CS 2 and movies on DVD every day and my phone is always ok
It was a very good business notepad. For a very good price and the coupons in my Acer have less than $ 500. I have my holiday travel with him and it was so easy, a wireless broadband everywhere. Lightweight has been a movement from one place to another and benefit from my long working normally. I noted very quickly that the memory is missing and the updating of the 4 GB and the best graphics of Windows Vista Aero to work! With this small update from my experience in the Index window of 2.8 to 3.5, so my office is limited graphics factor.Runs all my financial programs and Office XP very well. And even more incredible thing I was not quite in the last 3 months, or even because Windows Vista.By now, the best mark that I had the notebook at these prices. Beats by Compaq and Toshiba BAC!
