(More customer reviews)Acer Aspire 7552g-6436 Review, as of 24 hours...
I'm coming from a Dell inspiron 2200.
Con's :
So at first glance i noticed the keyboard has tabs on the keys instead of keys. seems a little flimsy
only time will tell.
Not really happy with the power cord either but as the zen master says "we'll see".
The placement of the usb and other ports on both sides instead of the rear is less than perfect in
my opinion.The Middle Ground : Price vs. performance.
So far the CPU has yet to disapoint, despite some decent games and multi-tasking i have throw at it.
Even though it's only an AMD Caspian and lacks level 3 cache and suffers from low clock speed this cpu
should serve well for a few years at least, its also an upgradable option, if you know how and if you can
get your hand on an AMD x940 you can expect a little bump. For the Price this N950 is about as good as it
gets for amd and they are only on par with the fastest i5's. BUT at least it has 4 threads not 2 like the i5's.
640gb western digital blue 5400rpm hard drive, is ok and plenty big but slow, HD tuner gave it 55mb min 85mb
max transfer.I have ordered a kingston v100 64 gb for this laptop, and will let you know more about that upgrade.
I installed a kingston v100 64gb SSD, and let me tell you it is FAST. I did not like the error messages
i got when cloning the drive, but after hitting ignore a couple times everything seems to be fine, if i end up
having to jump through hoops to fix it i will let you know. I assume if i have a problem with the ssd then
i can always put the hard drive back..Hd tech wont run on windows7 even in compatiblity mode.
So i used hd tune which gave me reads at 148mb's on twice, though i did have one test show 169mb's.
Makes me wonder if this sata controller is 1.5gb or 3.0gb as i should have in theory got only 143mb/s reads
with a sata 1 or 1.5gb controller.Pro's : The screen is amazing ! Nice and sharp ! Really Pops out at you. I know its not 1080 but 720 is
still easy on the eyes compared to 1024x768 on 14.1 inch monitor.
The laptop has many features that are upgradable, including the Hard drive ( yes you can have 2 , after you
purchase another hard drive tray from acer for $29.99 ? must be how the corporate exec's get their bonuses,
i mean really 30 bucks for a piece of bent metal ? SAD !!)
Also their is 3 memory slots as newegg reports so you can have as much as 12gb of ram.. smoking for a laptop
in this price range.
And yes the 6650m ATI radeon can also be upgraded, not that it's the weakest part of this system by any means.
I'm getting 80+ FPS in BF2, Cod4 and other games with all set to max settings.
I have heard and read about a bios mod for acer computers that unlocks all kinds of goodies, which i will
try in the near future.
Conclusion : This is a great laptop for the price of 700.00 or so, despite some limitations with AMd CPU's.
If your looking for a solid gaming laptop for a low cost, this as7552g-6436 will not let you down.
I hoped this helped someone.
