Acer eMachine E510: An All Purpose Laptop
By James • Nov 3rd, 2008 • Category: LaptopsThe Acer eMachine e510 is an all purpose laptop that offers performance and speed at affordable price. This notebook has a slim design and pleasing configuration, but it is not meant for playing sophisticated games, which demand hi-end graphics adapter and CPU.
The processor installed in the E510 is the Intel Celeron with a FSB @ 533 MHz, clock speed of 2.13 GHz, and 1MB of cache. The processor is backed by 2 GBs of RAM, which gives it enough power to handle complex tasks. This laptop can run HD videos @ 720p smoothly; process photos and delivers hi-fi audio. The only grey area is its highly reflective display and graphic chip. Because of the reflective LCD it becomes hard to concentrate on the data. Apart from this, the Intel GMA X3100, which is a low end video adapter, limits the level of game play and other graphic intensive applications.
But this doesn’t mean that the e510 is not worth buying. If you are only interested in doing your office work, enjoying multimedia content and playing low-end games, then the Acer eMachine E520 is an ideal solution. It also has an additional VGA port, which can be used to send video output to an external device such as an HD Ready TV-set with a VGA input port. E510 comes with a preinstalled Linux OS on its SATA HDD. This notebook may create some problems while installing or running Windows OS. So this device is intended only for Linux enthusiasts.
