Acer Aspire 4315 Notebook

This is the most precious gadget in my possession. I bought it at PC Corner Gilmore branch last January 2008 for a bargain price of PHP27000. Anyway, it’s kinda cheap considering its low specs. You know, I’m just a poor guy who doesn’t have enough money to spare for a high-end gadget. So, I just settled down for an Intel Celeron Processor with a CPU clock speed of 1.7GHz (Welcome to the pre-historic era!), 1GB (DDR2) of RAM (A product of long bargaining. Hehehe…), Intel 965GM chipset(Sta. Rosa platform, nice one…), Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics with up to 128MB shared memory(This caught my attention), 80GB HDD, CDRW+DVD combo(I hated it… need a DVD writer), built-in WLAN, S-Video, approx. 1.5-2 hours battery life, and 14.1” WXGA display. Well, with specs like that, I considered the gadget a best buy for my need. Not to mention, it’s an Acer with an international warranty passport. Unfortunately, I recently noticed a slight problem with a blank white screen occurrence sometimes. I had already contacted the store’s customer service hotline and they instructed me to bring it to them for a unit check-up. Needless to say, I’m still happy with my unit as far as its performance is concern. The graphics is awesome even though it’s just an integrated graphics. You can play some high-end games too like Company of Heroes but with the lowest possible settings. So, if you need a budget notebook, I highly recommend this one or at least the specs listed above except the processor replacing it with a dual-core or core 2 duo processor.
