Acer Aspire 5820T-373G32Mn

Acer Aspire 5820T-373G32Mn review

The Acer Aspire 5820T-373G32Mn is part of Acer's TimelineX consumer laptop range and promises excellent performance with no compromise to battery life. Although there are more powerful laptops around this price point, the Acer's portability is unrivalled. The bland grey chassis design lacks any significant design flourishes, but the matt finish at least prevents fingerprints from gathering. Construction is solid and the 2.4kg weight makes this a good laptop for the briefcase and light enough for the daily commute. Working away from the office is no problem, thanks to its excellent battery life, affording a fantastic 451 minutes of productivity from a single charge. This is almost three hours more than its nearest rival at this price and is the kind of mobility we would expect from a netbook. Acer has fitted a dual-core Intel Core i3 370M processor, which provides strong budget performance, backed up by 3072MB of memory. You can happily run several office applications at once without slowdown. However, several laptops around this price point feature a more powerful Intel Core i5 processor for the same price or less.
