Acer Aspire V5-471G-53334G50B

Posted on July 29, 2013August 5, 2013 By sweet surrender 3 Comments on Acer Aspire V5-471G-53334G50B

Here you go… My new laptop after 5 years! Ended up with Acer Aspire V5-471G-53334G50B mainly because of the price factor. Would have gone for the newer model with touchscreen or other brand but they’re way over my budget, do not want to spend a fortune on a laptop anymore. Tried some with touchscreen yesterday and I’m so glad I didn’t go for touchscreen, don’t like it because the screen is shaky when you tap on it. Hence, this is good enough for me.

1.8GHz, 3MB Smart cache
Max Turbo Frequency 2.7 GHz
14″ HD 1366 x 768 resolution, Acer CineCrystalâ„¢ LED

4GB DDR3 RAM
500GB SATA HDD
8X DVD Super Multi Plus Drive
Gigabit Ethernet, Wake-on-LAN ready
Bluetooth® 4.0+HS
Acer InviLinkâ„¢ Nplifyâ„¢ 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIEDâ„¢ supporting Acer SignalUpâ„¢ wireless technology
Multi-gesture touchpad, supporting two-finger scroll and pinch. Swipes access charms, application commands and previous applications
Acer Crystal Eye HD webcam, 1280 x 720 resolution
One USB 3.0 & Two USB 2.0 ports
HDMIâ„¢ port with HDCP support, LAN/VGA combo port cable
342 (W) x 245 (D) x 20/23 (H) mm 2.1 KG

It’s on Windows 8 and I’m still trying to get used to it. Feel rather dumb when I first had my hands on it.


Upsides:
– Lighter and slimmer than my previous laptop.
– Like the feel of typing on the keyboard.
– Processing speed is acceptable, enough for my usage. I guess because it’s new.


I have Windows 8 now and a Windows Phone but I have problem making them communicate with each other -.-” I’m not a Windows supporter, just happened that everything is on Windows.

Downsides:
– No installation CD. I guess most machines does not come with this anymore.
– Very small arrow keys, too far apart.
– Enter key is so close to the key above it, kept pressing the key above instead of Enter key.
– Touch pad with no buttons, need to get used to it to locate the hidden button.
– No privacy with the screen. I prefer screen that doesn’t allow people to see what you’re doing from the sides.
– Don’t like the blue, should have chosen purple, blame myself for this ;p
– Number of USB port isn’t enough for my usage. What do you expect from a slim machine?

The downsides are more than the upsides but they are pretty trivial. Not a big deal. Overall, this laptop is good enough for me to use. Most importantly it’s within my budget for the specifications I want.

Review It!, Tech Stuffs

    Windows 8 is the biggest bummer of this device. It loads fast, but hell its confusing to use.

Blogging since 2002. Anything before 2006 is no longer available. It is no longer on this server. Back then, I built my own blog and updated it using HTML. No database or anything. Only started blogging fully with a CMS in 2006. However, whatever was on the Internet will stay on the Internet. So... It should be still somewhere on the Internet. Then again... Why do you want to dig that far?
