Following after the footsteps of several successful models of the Acer Aspire
family, the Acer Aspire AS5940G is the most powerful of them so far. It can be
one of the first models to implement Intel’s Core i5 technology. A little below
the Core i7 cpu, that is definitely dubbed as the “smartest” core to ever grace
the motherboards of pcs, the Core i5 yet promises a smooth and seamless
performance that will surely satisfy even the most demanding user.
Clocked at 1.6 GHz, the Acer Aspire AS5940G supports its cpu with a massive
memory capacity of 4 gb. There’s more than enough RAM for the laptop to process
several programs concurrently, including those that are hungry in memory space
in order to operate. With the AS5940G, you have at your disposal a very
dependable machine that wont waste your time with lags and glitches specifically
when doing tasks like video editing and graphics rendering.
Hard drive space is a prime concern to all that are interested in purchasing
laptops. Nobody wants a notebook that will prompt them to make backups every now
and then in order to make room for new files. With the AS5940G, a core i5
notebook, still, you get to store up to 500 gb of files. There is more than
enough space for whatever files you can think of: HI-DEF movies that eat up gb
worth of disk space, music files, pictures, documents and anything else. In
addition, the hdd implements the SERIAL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ATTACHMENT
technology. This means that there's a higher transfer rate of data as compared
to older IDE harddrives.
Gamers will certainly love the Acer Aspire AS5940G, because it is well suited
to answer their needs. Unlike most lap tops, the AS5940G comes packaged with a
dedicated graphics card with a big video random access memory capacity of 1 gb.
This card is the ATI Radeon HD4650. With its large video RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY,
this graphics card makes it possible for the Acer Aspire AS5940G to accommodate
heavy graphics rendering. Newer games will be a breeze for this laptop to run.
You can also view HIGH-DEFINITION movies with greater clarity thanks to the
capabilities of the graphics adapter. However, it is still unable to support
Blu-Ray movies because of a lack of supporting Blu-Ray drive.
This notebook is capable of both wired and wireless network connectivity.
Aside from that, it also has Wireless adapters, a webcam, a fingerprint reader,
and both VIDEO GRAPHICS ARRAY and HDMI ports.
The Acer Aspire AS5940G is priced at the $2,200-$2,600 range.
