Acer Launches the Low-Cost Aspire 5315
This is the latest entry-level laptop from Acer after its fellow competitors like HCL and Panasonic launching the cheapest laptops. But this Aspire 5315 is a way bit higher priced than the cheapest laptop from HCL.
The operating system for this Aspire 5315 is Linux, expectedly, just like many others who offer cheapest laptops bundled with Linux rather than Windows, which is said to escalate the cost of laptops too much. But still for entry-level laptops one would expect to get Windows preloaded rather than Linux, as the target group for these laptops would either be newbies or students who would not be much familiar with Linux.
Anyway, this laptop is powered by Intel Celeron M550. It has 120 GB and 1 GB RAM, super 8x double layer DVD, and a built-in web cam. It supports Intel Wireless Wi-Fi. It also comes with a 15-inch TFT LCD monitor. The other important feature of Aspire 5315 is the 3D sound system, which brings a video and audio output just like a home theater.
Acer’s main drawback seem to be its battery life, for this notebook too the battery life is just two hours and hope that they will improve it further on their future notebooks. The price of this notebook is fixed at around Rs. 22,000.
