Acer Aspire 5542g Review

The Acer 5542G is the company replacement model for it is very popular 5536/5536G series. The new model comes with an improved processor and a whole new platform Tigris. It was waiting for more than a week and calls that I think of an Acer Aspire 5542G. From the moment I read the spec sheet, I'm very excited to get the machine in my hands. The product information on an AMD Turion II 2.2 Ghz, 3 GB DDR2 RAM, ATI 4570 dedicated graphics card with 512MB DDR3Memory and a fairly generous 320GB hard drive for a price of less than RS 34000, which is a pretty attractive deal.

In this comprehensive review, we will see how to meet these specifications, the actual performance.

Key Features:

In this section we will see laptop in detail the main components make that up it. I will also try as much data and details like the manufacturer is availableSource.

Processor:

Acer Aspire 5542G comes with the second generation AMD Turion processor (AMD Turion II M500) clocked 2.2Ghz, which is a 1MB L2 cache. The Turion II M500 is using the 45 nm technology. It belongs to the Caspian generation of processors and supports HyperTransport 3.0 and hardware virtualization.

The AMD Turion mobile processors is to answer the outstanding performance features, while the power consumption at theMinimum. The Turion processor generates less heat compared to AMD's desktop work horses that have a bad reputation in heat have department. The Core II is the next version of the decent performer Turion, it sets high expectations in terms of competing with the Core 2 Duos on the market. We will see how the real values of consumption, if we benchmark down the road.

Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 512MB DDR3

One of the main attractions of thisLaptop is the graphics engine that lies beneath the hood. The Acer 5542G comes with a dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 with 512MB of DDR3 memory.

For those of you who do not about the difference between an integrated and a dedicated graphics solution is clear, I am a few words. An integrated graphics solution (eg the Intel X4500) does not come with dedicated video memory space, it eats up your system memory for graphics processing, and thus the slower path between theMemory and the graphics engine performs the biggest bottleneck when it comes to performance. Even the integrated graphics processor would be less powerful than a mainstream one dedicated in raw computing power. On the other hand, a dedicated graphics card usually have a high speed dedicated video memory (ie DDR3), the graphics processor is paired. This eliminates the bottleneck and the card is superior performance. The graphics processor on a dedicated card would usuallySupport for high-end effects using the latest DirectX and OpenGL APIs, which provide the realism and visual-candy in the latest games are.

The HD 4570 is a faster clocked version of the Mobility Radeon 4530/4330. It has a 64 bit memory and comes with a 512 MB DDR3 VRAM. The 512 MB should be sufficient for most games and graphics needed when you play in the craziest resolutions. (Increases as rendering resolution, the more memory used up). The DDR3 memory will be meeting the demand for the fastestand require huge volume texture processing, the modern Games. But the 64-bit bus is worse than the 128-bit bus that offer the most mainstream cards.

The ATI Mobility Radeon 4570 is based on the RV710 chip and has 80 stream processors. The Mobility Radeon also offers the video technology called Avivo HD provides that an on-board 7.1 sound chip. The graphic solution has a second Generation Unified Video Decoder that supports bitstream decoding of H.264/MPEG-4 AVCand VC-1 streams. The 4570 graphics unit is capable of all the video tasks, including high-definition video decoding.

Display:

The Acer 5542G is a 15.6 "high definition with LED-backlit TFT LCD display, which provides 220-nit high-brightness Acer CrystalBrite display technology. The pure widescreen (16:9) display support a maximum resolution of 1366x768 and offers a 60% color gamut. It has a high-response time of 8ms.

Memory: There is not much to boastwith a 3 GB DDR2 800MHz memory, the Aspire 5542G comes with a hood when compared to the current line of laptops, many of which sports a 4GB below. The 3GB is enough for most computing needs, later to 4 GB can be upgraded. But the 3GB deal seems reasonable, if we keep the price tag of the Acer 5542G in the eye.

Hard Drive: Again, there is nothing covered pine in that department. But I would say that the 320 that comes with the Acer 5542G isgenerous for most of your storage needs.

Processor performance and benchmark:

I was initially reluctant to switch processors from Intel's Core 2 Duo proven workhorse on the AMD Turion's family. It is a generally accepted fact that Intel provided CPU outperforms the AMD counterpart, both on the same beat, the main culprit being the lower L2 cache to AMD's. But my attitude towards the AMD Turion II was sweptaway from the performance benchmarks. The AMD Turion II M500 2.2 Ghz outperforms the Intel Core 2 Duo 6670 2.2 GHz. If AMD Turion II M500 scored a decent profit of 1426, Intel Core 2 Duo 6670 succeeded in 1379 to obtain only if the margin is not very large.

The Turion II M500 also rated higher in the Windows 7 performance rating with a score of 5.7 compared to the value of 5.5 of the Intel Core 2 Duo 6600th

The Turion II without doubt it has improved the architecturedramatically competitive compared to the previous generation Turion, while the higher it will help to achieve a performance benchmark, with head with Intel's counterpart, although AMD Turion II M500 houses only 1MB of L2 cache compared to 2MB offered the Intel 's variations.

The AMD Turion II M500 is without doubt an excellent musician and is commendable, because first AMD processor model to overtake that of the Intel Core 2 Duo along the power lines, both ofthe same speed clocked. Although the Turion II has only 1MB of L2 cache excellent performance and processing power brings in a household. The M500 Turion II processor gives the Acer 5542G with a large number of processing efficiency, which felt a lot when we ran experiments with compressing / extracting, gaming and video rendering with 3D graphics tools was. The Acer 5542G was active in the daily performance computing and the Windows responsiveness and multi-tasking significantlyquickly.

Graphics card performance:

The Acer 5542G with ATI Mobility Radeon 4570 with 512MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM is not an exceptional performer in terms of the latest gaming standards. But very few laptops come with a high-end graphics card that meets certain high-end gamer needs and the machines for burning a hole in your wallet. The HD 4570 in the Acer 5542G is a decent graphics card a little older game titles while playing in detailit comes to the latest games, you may need to optimize the level of detail on a medium to get a reasonable frame rates.

The Acer 5542G is an excellent choice for gamers on a budget's and 3D graphic designers and animators.

I found the Acer 5542G provides very smooth frame rates for Test Drive Unlimited even at the highest settings, even showed a video review of the Dell Studio 15 housing the same graphics card significantly lower frame rates in YouTube. May be thePerformance is done on the graphics DDR3 memory and improving the processing speed of the AMD Turion II M500. Map it went really well on older titles such as Need For Speed Most Wanted, Need for Speed Underground, Unreal Tournament 2003 and Crysis Warhead activated even at the highest level of detail with a resolution of 1024x768 and FSAA. The Acer 5542G also consistently playable frame rates in Microsoft Flight Simulator, a very resource hungry game will be delivered, due to thePresence of large textures and extensive grounds.

Display Performance:

The 220-nit high brightness of the display of the Acer 5542G has excellent display quality with good sharpness and contrast. It also provides very good and accurate color reproduction (60% gamut). The visibility of sites is not unusual, but adequate. The only major drawback of the display is that it's glossy finish attracts glare. Therefore, it is not suitable, while for eachdirect light.

Audio Performance:

The Acer 5542G sports a Dolby-certified audio system. The Realtek chip provides 32-bit audio decoding and provides S / PDIF output and Dolby Digital. It also supports Dolby Headphone and Dolby Virtual Surround modes. It means that you in audio bliss when you connect the Acer 5542G a nice home theater or high-end headphones connected.

The built-in speaker of the Acer 5542G lacks clear and the bass was a disappointmentour tests. The sound clearly lacks the thumb element in it. It does not mean that the speakers are worthless. The speakers give you a very nice high and medium frequencies quite well. The audio volume were loud enough and are sufficient if you are not in the middle of a very noisy environment.

Battery:

The Acer 5542G comes with a 6-cell battery. It would probably be disappointed if you have battery backup in search of a laptop with 3 + hours.The lower battery backup for the large modest 15.6 can be attributed to "display with the dedicated graphics card that can run off rather combined a lot of battery power. Playing with the screen brightness low, I was a 2 hours 50 minutes backup with do not receive audio, Video games or active. Highest performance tuning, you can expect about two hours of battery backup.

Heating:

When AMD-based laptop, most of us have to use an AMD-based sytem wouldConcerns about overheating. Stay cool. The Acer 5542G handles heat well. If it for longer opening times for your daily computing needs, it does not generate much heat. I found the heat near the palm rest areas fewer models in comparison to some other competing Intel-based laptops. The Acer 5542G is adequate ventilation at the bottom and has a vent at the back that blows hot air out of the. The fan steps at high speed, the instant things heat up.

Itdoes not mean that the Acer 5542G not generate heat at all. Once you change to start playing games, the rosy picture. Although the Acer 5542G body was only warm, the vent at the rear end was really blowing hot air, which of course means serious heat generation, when it will be good move. Although the Acer 5542G away with the heat very well, it would be a good choice to be cool to get an efficient gaming laptop pad, if you seriously in.

OtherComponents:

The Acer 5542G comes with a good DVD burner, Bluetooth, Wireless LAN, etc. These devices out quite well and does not seem worth a certain point of the speech are.

Accessories:

The laptop comes with a nice backpack from Targus with Acer logo on it. The backpack has enough room to carry some extra things in it, while on the go. It's build quality is good and provides a sufficient cushion for the laptopCompartment.

Conclusion:

Acer 5542G is a laptop that brings great value to a budget, the power need of excellent workmanship and graphics. I recommend it for all integrated gaming enthusiasts and graphic designers, due to the excellent performance of the processor and the graphics solution. It's powerful processor can take the most extreme computing power is required, unless your needs i7 goal of the Ultra-High-end like a. The Acer 5542Gequipped with its Turion processor II competes really well with the Core 2 Duos out, no need for the "Will AMD well?" Question everything. It delivers brutal processing power.

They are of audiophile music lovers through the laptop would play a 's built-in speakers round the clock, Acer 5542G can not be adjusted the best for you. Is this not a top priority for you or you have a nice home theater / headphones, then the Acer 5542G offers you a great joy in the audio-Department and it is through processing and Dolby Digital outputs. It all depends on your needs.

The battery fits the Home Computing / Gaming / design needs. It is 2 + hours backup process, your presentation on-the-go needs, although a 3 + hours would have been backup is recommended.

The laptop model I bought system comes loaded with Linpus Linux operating system (only command prompt) and remove the dependency on Windows, the Acer 5542G helps keep their pricedown. You could also pre-installed with a version of Windows, but for a higher price.

Pro:

Excellent processor

Excellent graphics for designers and gamers budget

Good Looks

Very robust construction

Good processing and digital audio out

HDMI

Cons:

Built-in speakers are not completely with the good audio processing and low bass

Glossy screen only work hard in direct light

Volume buttonswould have to soft

Arrow keys needs refinement

Prices and final words:

This laptop is in India in many online shopping sites on the RS sub 35k price tag. I got a hold of RS 33 700 / - (approx. 717 EUR) by a local dealer. With such a reasonable price and impressive range of features, I recommend the Acer 5542G.
