Buying a new portable system is so hard these days, you must figure out the price range, the specifications, the size of the display, battery life and so many other aspects you must take into account. But there are some manufacturers which come first in your mind so the only thing to is take them by turn and see what they have to offer.

<strong>Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 </strong><strong>notebook</strong> is a entry-level system with a great display, wireless Wi-Fi and amazing looks as well. It doesn’t provide the dual-core processor, as these days notebooks, but if you take Compaq Presario as comparisons, you will notice this notebook is worth it is you take into account the price range, as this is an important factor as well.

Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 notebook comes at just $329, being one of the cheapest portable system you might encounter, aside from the mini notebooks of course. Featuring a 15.6” display, you can say this is really worth it. Design is simple, black and stylish with some blue accents, looking a bit business. Most of the dual-core systems and those providing audio speakers are way above $500 and if you really don’t have the budget this will do. 

So let’s see what you really get for what you pay: a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon 64 TF-20 processor, 3GB of RAM DDR2, a 160GB hard drive, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200, Windows 7 Home Premium, all weighting about 5.6 pounds. So, the processor doesn’t allow you to do much, like running intensive tasks, multitasking, gaming and so on. What saves a bit the system are the 3GB of RAM which gives a bit of speed boost. The operating system is also reliable, user-friendly and it does offer a nice look as well. The hard drive gives you enough room to store the files and software you have.

When you take a look at the notebook, you will not say it is budget at all. Its dark and glossy blue and the matched metal blue do give it a certain look. The construction is also sturdy; the display is hold firmly by the hinges. The touch pad offers enough room for scrolling and the buttons are large and easy to use.  But once you analyze the notebook better, you will start seeing the flaws. 

The keyboard is flimsy and the keys are rather cramped. It does not provide a webcam and there are various shortcuts for Acer games, eBay and other websites. The display has an aspect ratio of 16:9 and offers a native resolution of 1366x768, actually everything looks sharp and vibrant and due to the graphics installed, you can even watch HD videos. The speakers integrated are mediocre, so you might consider getting a pair of headphones or external speakers.

Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 <notebook</strong> offers a wide range of ports and connectivity options. You have VGA ports, headphone and microphone jacks, two USB ports, card reader, a DVD burner and for networking Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. The battery life is good, taking in account the fact that you will be running basic tasks the most; you will enjoy about three hours of use. So if you want a new notebook that will leave some money in your wallet and with a good-looking design, this is it.
