Acer Aspire 5672 Review

As current trends, widescreen models with discrete graphics and more by people's attention , Acer Aspire 5672 we naturally become the preferred object, the latest generation of mobile displays with ATI X1400 chip technology Aspire 5672 like? Below please follow the author to make a full range of observation and experience on this Napa notebook .

Although it isn't the fastest laptop we've seen, the Acer's score was only three behind the record. And on one test in our benchmarking suite it stormed to a time that was some 20 percent faster than the WorldBench 5 control system. This is impressive stuff(Acer Aspire 5920 Battery).

Acer has built several laptops around this new platform, including the Aspire 5672. Using the lowest-powered CPU from the T range the Acer has a processor with two cores, each of them running at 1.66GHz, teamed with 1GB of DDR RAM and the new Intel chipset. We were expecting a fairly stunning WorldBench 5 result from the Aspire.

Keeping costs down

When buying new technologies you expect to pay a premium, but with the Acer this is simply not the case. It'll set you back just under £1,200 all in, so some compromises had to be made – although not many, it would appear. The graphics card is a 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, and it struggled to provide playable frame rates in our Doom3 tests, although it coped slightly better with Halo. Nevertheless, it's clear this isn't a gaming notebook(Dell Inspiron 1520 Battery).

For other forms of entertainment, however, the 5672 is ideal. The 15.4in widescreen lends itself perfectly to DVD movies, and the sound quality is good for a laptop. The Acer Arcade software is a welcome addition, doing such a good impression of Windows Media Center that you'll barely notice the difference, and there's a 1.3Mp (megapixel) camera that can rotate through 180 degrees on the vertical plane.

The Acer boasts connectivity options galore, with Wi-Fi and an array of connectors. The keyboard is a good size and very usable – all the keys are where you'd expect them to be. The all-too-brief warranty is one of the few disappointments here.

Dynamic Duo

The Centrino Duo CPUs, formerly code-named Yonah, also come with a new platform (previously known as Napa) that boasts a faster frontside bus (now 667MHz, up from 533MHz), support for faster memory, a new chipset (the 945 GM/PM), and Intel's wireless 802.11a/b/g technology.

The processors come in two main streams: the T line for mainstream notebooks, and the L line of low-voltage models intended for ultraportable laptops. The T line will range from the 1.66GHz T2300 to the 2.16GHz T2600; the L line will initially have two variants: the 1.5GHz L2300 and the 1.66GHz L2400(Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS battery).

As was the case with the Pentium M line, Intel's previous generation of mobile processors, all of the new chips also offer a 2MB cache. In addition, the systems feature Intel power-management technology that can shut down one of the processor cores if the application workload is light, thereby significantly improving all-important notebook battery life. Acer Aspire5672 equipped with a six-cell 14.8V 4800mAh lithium-ion battery , through our testing, this battery can guarantee Aspire5672 life less than three hours . Life a bit short , but still we expected, after all Aspire5672 configuration is quite power-hungry(HP Mini 110-3018cl Battery) .

I had a friend in the use of this 5672 , I feel at this 2.5KG weight and relatively thin surface , with externally feel powerful dual-core CPU, independent X1400 graphics chip, prominent business functions , with full E series Business management Center software. Excellent display capabilities. ( Business + Entertainment Design ) model in the new platform , Acer5672 deserves to be in charge of Acer hand NAPA platform.
