Acer Aspire: Cheap Laptop

I have received the version with 1000 GB data storage, 4GB of RAM and a DVD-ROM drive.

As I previously took no Windows 8, I had in mind at first a little used. But even a short time over the usual custom to program changes and window AC.

After opening the package, I first plugged the battery into the device. The battery is 250 grams, very narrow and supplies the device depending on Nutzung- up to 4 hours of power. The battery snaps neatly. All who want to change it again, or if necessary. Want to buy a second battery for emergencies should keep a small screwdriver or similar pointed tool ready. Because the latch can never unlock only with their own page (see customer photo).

Furthermore, mounted not quite clever is the power connector. It is located exactly in the corner, where you will also find the DVD drive. The cable is even angled, ie, the current direction of the user is, the small plug quickly blocked the drive. Knowing this, you can do it if necessary. Turn to the other side. But better off, the power connector on the back of the laptop would have been.

By design, the Acer is not a real eye-catcher. The border around the 15.5-inch screen is relatively wide for modern devices. I saw that even noble in other devices.

The main argument for this device is probably the price, which is based on the hardware data of 15.6 inch monitor, 1000 GB hard drive, DVD-ROM drive, webcam, and at the time of review the current processor, very far settled down ,

Keyboard and DVD drive doing what they should. Burning also works flawlessly. The drive can be opened from the outside with a key, or even on the Eject command. The keyboard hooked not, the screen is large enough for my needs. Also with the mouse replacement I came as a primarily PC users along well. Of course, can be connected via the USB ports and an external mouse. A fast USB 3.0 interface is also available.

After start-up, the device has detected my Netgear WLAN immediately. So shortly enter the network password, then got the connection. The signal strength was shown me 3 out of 5 bars. What are the reasons my other laptop displays 5 bars at the same place, I can not say. Next, the Acer ID is activated. These reports can be short, maintaining a short time later a confirmation email, and confirmed the registration via the link in the email. After the Google account has been activated and updates downloaded about 160 MB for Acer Docs, Acer Photo, Acer and Acer Media Portal.

The Internet Explorer, a link to eBay, the antivirus Mc Affee and various other programs are preinstalled. Mostly, such as MS-Office programs, they must of course still be purchased (see customer photos).

All in all, a low-priced device with sufficient performance for the average user = 4 stars.
