Laptops (or laptops) have become very popular among ordinary users and began to massively displace classic desktops. They have a lot of advantages: they are light, comfortable, powerful and have the same functions. Therefore, they are so popular. But among them there are real masterpieces. One of them is Acer Aspire 5310. This laptop is already at a fairly respectable age, but still interesting, as it has options that were unique at the time. And the build quality is up to standard. This is already gone and will not be at all soon. We will analyze the main technical characteristics of this laptop. But first, a few words about the manufacturer.
Acer
The company was founded in 1976 in China. Already in 1979, it released the first Chinese computer, which was intended exclusively for export. And it was acquired by many countries. Since then, the manufacturer has constantly improved the design and brought a lot of new things. Without Acer, familiar computers would have been completely different. By the way, BenQ products are also the brainchild of Acer. Relatively recently - in 2009 - the company bought the Packard Bell brand and opened the production of new-generation laptops at its facilities. And the legendary Acer Aspire 5310 laptop became the first brainchild. Now we will consider this product in more detail. It is very interesting, since before it there were no such things.
Appearance 5310
If you look at the Acer Aspire 5310 with an open mind, you can see the classic laptop model of the early 2000s: the same massive case, the same decent thickness and considerable weight. However, if you compare it with contemporaries, then Acer is the most elegant laptop of all available at that time. It is based on high-quality plastic. But the frame is made of metal. The inside of the laptop (including the keyboard) is made in silver color. And the lid and bottom are black. This combination of colors makes the laptop unique. By all accounts, this laptop was a premium product. And this can be seen by the technical characteristics, which we will analyze right now.
Hardware (processor, RAM, motherboard)
We continue to consider the laptop Acer Aspire 5310. Its characteristics are such that it can now cope with many tasks. The laptop is built on the basis of a motherboard with Intel 943GML Express chipset. At the time of the release of the laptop, it was the most advanced chip. The processor used is the Intel Celeron M520 with a clock frequency of 1600 megahertz. There is no third level cache at all, and the L2 cache is 1 megabyte. A great solution for a laptop almost a decade ago. The amount of pre-installed RAM is 1 gigabyte. However, there is another slot for expansion. The volume can be increased to 4 gigabytes. This is pretty good.
Interfaces & Connectors
What about the interfaces on the Acer Aspire 5310? Their characteristic is as follows: there are four USB 2.0 slots, a VGA connector for connecting a monitor, an RJ-45 connector for network connections, a TV-out, an RJ-11 connector, and microphone and headphone jacks (separate). There is also a built-in card reader with the ability to read any memory cards. A Wi-Fi transmitter is also available, but it does not support frequencies of 5 gigahertz, because it is obsolete. In general, the filling is pretty good. And the TV-out, which is present here, can not be found even in more modern models.
Screen
As a screen, a TN + Film matrix with a response of 8 ms is used. This is a decent result. The maximum screen resolution is 1200 by 800 pixels. It’s a bit short of HD. But the display is covered with a protective glass (which you will not find in modern budget models during the day with fire). To improve the image, the proprietary PureView option is used. The diagonal of the screen is 15.4 inches. There is a glossy finish. Good display for an old laptop.
Other characteristics
Acer Aspire 5310 has other features. So, it is equipped with an advanced sound system. And this is not about speaker configuration at all. Just a laptop supports almost all known audio output formats. And among them there are high quality ones. The built-in 4000 mAh battery is enough for two and a half hours of continuous operation. The laptop also has a writing DVD-drive with the ability to read and write two-layer "discs." As a video card, the built-in Intel GMA adapter with 224 megabytes of memory is used. And this means that the laptop is not intended for games. The hard drive is mechanical with a SATA interface. The volume of the hard drive is 120 gigabytes. Only the most important can be stored on it. The Windows Vista version of the Home version is used as a pre-installed operating system. It is already quite old (and in the early 2000s, it did not shine with performance). It is better to immediately replace it with the "seven". With her laptop will work better.
Conclusion
So, we took apart the Acer Aspire 5310 laptop. This "veteran" can still serve properly, as evidenced by its characteristics. It even has exotic options such as a TV-out. It also features high ergonomics and a unique design. It is now all laptops have become similar to each other. And before in this industry diversity reigned. In general, this laptop is a great solution for those who need a good working laptop. But he can not only work. The reproduction of various multimedia content is also within his power. Only games are no longer his diocese.
