acer Aspire® 4530 user reviews

    "This is excelent release type for ACER laptop. Good performance for low end user and good looking (using dark color for case and keyboard). With the 120GB harddisk drive mounted as default, it's enough to store your own data including games and music of course.

24 hours a day and 30 days a month i run this laptop. And no bluescreen or any error popped up at the screen. Some games like Call of Duty 4, Devil May Cry, Need For Speed Carbon, Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 can be played with this laptop smoothly. Because this laptop has nVidia GeForce 9100 class.
It has 3 USB port, integrated bluetooth and webcam, wifi card, and any recent standard feature for laptop this year.

But if it compared with the old one (4520 series), it has fewer USB port (4520 has 4 ports but 4530 has only 3 ports). No S-Video out, no firewire port, the processor temperature hotter than the old one. "

    "Technology is now much more advanced hardware technology developed in the instrument computer
many hardware vendors that compete in the race to make computer hardware
and now when this is the computer can be taken everywhere with a notebook
many other hardware vendors that do hardware support for the resilience of the battery and work in comfort
we see examples only product on the Acer aspire 4530-5267, which has support in the specification play the game
using technology with 64 bit processors AMD outputs and supports dual core so that comfort, the work is to obtain favors
This notebook is also sold with the price cheap enough for just $ 579 per unit with the capability of the AMD processor 120 GB hard drive and can be upgraded with a warranty from the vendor for one year

    "For those not familiar with the e-Acer Power features, is actually a set of utilities that make a computer user's life easier, especially for beginners who may not have instructions on how to utilize their potential notebook. As far as my memory serves me well, among those utilities, I love e-presentation, on the signal, power management (throttle), and ... err. Short-term memory loss .. excuse me. However, for hard core users, they might think, e-Power utility software swollen. This is a matter of taste. I would love to test Signal Up Features and e-Power on the shortcut bar 'summoning'. But, I believe, is a matter of time. Fast or slow Acer will release e-Power for the Aspire 4530.

    "Acer aspire 4530 certainly responsive enough for the work environment. Vista boot time is faster than PC (blame Creative X-Fi sound card for this one), but, it was too disabled. Battery performance: Just average. Acer Aspire 4530 more or less like his brother, even the new 4520 core processors. Different is not justified. Complete charge and I realize the batteries last about 2.5 hours to economic and 2 hours for medium power settings. I did not test for high-performance yet power settings. Activities include: Internet browsing (means must be on the network), sometimes listening to music, as users lalainnya regular notebook with her notebook activity.
Acer Aspire 4530 using black as the theme, and look a little elegant and professional. Acer Aspire 4530 using Hyper Transport 3.0 is twice the bandwidth compared HT2.0. Acer Aspire 4530 provides the Windows XP and Vista drivers. Installing Windows Vista Ultimate in the Acer Aspire 4530 is not too difficult because simply put the OS disc, set the first boot sequence (F2 to enter the bios) to the CD / DVD and violin, after a few clicks on the button next, Windows Vista Ultimate ready to correct.
Keyboard: As a user types a touch, I feel good notebook has good keyboard. It is easy to type and size and depth appropriate for the notebook. Some other notes, they are to keybord shallow or too small for my passion.

    "Acer Aspire 4530 is my third notebook, which I review / commented in this blog. The first one is Acer 4520 (AMD Turion x2) which you can read here and the second one is Lenovo Y410 (Core 2 Duo) which you can read here.

For the record, all three notebooks, I bought and setup it using Windows Vista Ultimate with latest driver available, properly restart and defrag all of them before benchmark it using Windows Vista Experience Index. So, roughly, what I am going to write here is my short experience with my new laptop, and how good or bad it is compare to the other two.
Design wise, Acer Aspire 4530 a little bit different compare to Acer 4520, which for 4530, Acer decide to use black color as 4530 theme (while beige color for 4520). It look a bit mature and professional (but, rough black surface is not my liking?why dont they just use slick and shiny surface as 4520 but black in color) . However, since look and taste are subjective, I will not comment on this section. Design wise, I prefer Lenovo layout.
Actually, before I bought 4530, I had tough time to choose either Compact Presario V3839TU (Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz with 2 MB L2 Cache, 1 GB Rams, 160 GB hard disk, Bluetooth etc) or Acer 4530 which use brand new AMD 64 Turion X2 (Lion), 1 GB Rams, 160 GB hdd, Bluetooth, wifi etc, just like V3830AU. "
