GPD MicroPC 2 with Intel Core 3 N350 announced Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026 Image Playground, Photo Spacial Reframe and New Editing Tools in iOS 27

This Acer Aspire AS4553 laptop that comes with a triple-core CPU from AMD was reported here earlier and we now have the actual review unit with us.

Acer Aspire AS4553
14.1â€³ display @ 1366Ã—768
AMD Phenom II X3 N830 2.1GHz
ATI Radeon HD5470 512MB
2.0GB DDR3 RAM
320GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth, HDMI
DVD+RW

The video graphics is switchable between the more powerful ATI Radeon HD5470 and the on-board ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 .

The 6-cell battery is rated at 4400mAh. The unit only had Linpus so I had to install Windows 7 64-bit to get some more information like WEI.

Here’s how the Windows Experience Index looked like. The AMD Phenom II X3 N830 2.1GHz got a WEI sub-score of 6.2 while the whole system had an over-all rating of 5.0

Store price go as low as Php29,995 for the Linpus-installed units.

is this different from the Acer Aspire A4553G?

Ram · 16 years ago

Thanks for the reply Sir! Was hoping the batt could last a little longer. I like the WEI 5.0 index. But i guess i’m getting the Acer 1810tz. =)

Sir Yuga,

Question, How’s the battery life of this one? Can this last also up to 8 hours like the CULV acert notebooks? Or 3-4 hours lang because of the 3 cores?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@ram – nope, just 2 to 4 hours, depending on power mode.

Which do you think is better?

Core i3 with 2 cores & 4 threads
AMD Phenom II X3 N830 with 3 cores & 3 threads

looks nice! specs nice! price nice!

bat ka nga pala bibili ng p24k netbook? ahh.. kasi maliit bag mo

Yuga,
Could you do some tests (compatibility especially!) with a better version of Linux? Linux Mint should do the trick. Thanks!

You could also install Mint in other laptops with no OS to test if this free solution works well enough as not to warrant buying Windows.

Miguel · 16 years ago

Nice, I hope everything works under Linux.

Reel Advice · 16 years ago

Wow, definitely is cheap! Tempting!

Efren · 16 years ago

Question:

is the triple core at par with the i5? which is better?
mostly targeted for video editing and gaming.

and also the battery life of this new triple core unit can it also last as long as that of the timelineX i5 from acer.

thanks in advance for information

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@jun – 3 cores, 3 threads

Juliet · 16 years ago

Hay Yuga, magkaroon ka naman ng konting variety. Ganyan na lang lagi ang title ng posts mo, tipong “Name_of_Gadget + in the flesh”.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@juliet: i follow this little rule — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. ;)

Ernie · 16 years ago

Good specs. But how about battery life? Can this go at least 4 hours using the HD 4250? Doesn’t it get overly hot?

rheythm · 16 years ago

@abeolandres in case you are not aware, yugatech app always crashes. I presume this is an iOS4 issue.

nonstop · 16 years ago

hi yuga, can you also give us the dimensions of that unit (WxDxH).. just wanna compare its size on other models. :)

GameBlogger · 16 years ago

Are these scores based out of 10 max? Uhh… The gaming score ain’t so bad but the numbers aren’t looking great? Would this laptop be able to play PS3 calibre games?
