Triple-Core Acer Aspire AS4553 in the flesh

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
14.1″ display @ 1366×768
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.

    This looks like it is a very good buy. Performance is similar to the i5 version but at P7000 cheaper

    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?

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

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

  5. Ernie says:

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

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

    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

    Nice, I hope everything works under Linux.

  12. Jazon says:

    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.

    looks nice! specs nice! price nice!

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

  14. Mike says:

    How does this compare with i3? or even i5?

  15. jojo says:

    @Mike, try nyo po i-check ito, ranking/benchmarking ng mga processors, baka makatulong…

    acer laptops ngyon parang hindi matibay, maraming negatives comment bout the latest laptops ng acer.

  21. Ram says:

    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?

  22. Ram says:

    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. =)

  23. jooolian says:

    is this different from the Acer Aspire A4553G?
